Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey opened his account for the 2024-2025 season, scoring in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park. Partey secured the win for the Gunners with a trademark strike in the 77th minute, curling the ball into the net from the edge of the box after receiving a pass from Bukayo Saka. Leandro Trossard, who came off the bench, had earlier given Arsenal the lead in the 67th minute. Partey, who played the full 90 minutes, completed 53 of 59 pass attempts, delivering a standout performance as Arsenal notched their second consecutive Premier League win. This goal marks Partey’s first of the season as he enters the final year of his contract with Arsenal, having joined the club four seasons ago from Atletico Madrid.
