Arteta praised Partey after stellar performance against Sporting CP

Mikel Arteta has praised Thomas Partey for delivering "one of his best performances" in an Arsenal shirt during the team's impressive 5-1 victory over Sporting CP. 

Partey's commanding presence in midfield was instrumental in controlling the game and facilitating Arsenal's attacking play. Arteta highlighted Partey's ability to dominate the midfield, stating that this performance showcases the level he is capable of achieving.

"I think it's one of the best performances I have seen from him. Especially the way he's dominated the game, so that's the level he can play, he's progressing. This year he's been so consistent as well because he always has a role, that's a big thing, he's a massive player for us."

The Ghanaian midfielder's contributions included progressive passing and key interceptions that helped relieve pressure on the team. Having overcome the injury problems that prevented him from making just 15 appearances last season and put rumours of a possible exit behind him, Partey has established himself as a key pillar of Arteta's scheme.
