Thomas Partey inspires Arsenal to dominant win over Manchester City

Thomas Partey played a key role as Arsenal thrashed Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, moving within six points of Premier League leaders Liverpool.

With Liverpool extending their lead at the top after a win at Bournemouth, Arsenal knew only victory would keep their title hopes alive. Partey, making a strong return to the starting lineup, delivered a commanding midfield performance that helped the Gunners overpower the struggling champions.

Arsenal took an early lead inside two minutes when Manuel Akanji lost possession, allowing Martin Ødegaard to steer in Kai Havertz’s pass. After Erling Haaland equalized for City in the 55th minute, Partey was at the heart of Arsenal’s response just two minutes later. His shot took a crucial deflection off John Stones, wrongfooting goalkeeper Stefan Ortega and restoring Arsenal’s lead.

The Gunners built on that momentum as 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly scored his first goal for the club in the 62nd minute. Havertz, making up for an earlier miss, added a fourth with a precise left-foot finish before 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri sealed the emphatic win with a stunning strike.

Partey’s influence in midfield and his decisive role in Arsenal’s second goal ensured the Gunners remain in the title race as they chase down Liverpool.
