Gabriel Agbonlahor has praised Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey on BT Sport 1 (2:42pm, March 19, 2022) for his performance against Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday.
The former Villa striker believes that Arsenal midfielder Partey was the best player on the pitch today.
Mikel Arteta’s side won the Premier League game 1-0.
Bukayo Saka scored the only goal of the match in the first half.
Agbonlahor said: “Partey today was immense for me – the Man of the Match.”
Thomas Partey played well for Arsenal v Aston Villa
In our opinion, Partey played well for Arsenal against Villa and imposed himself in the middle of the park.
The 28-year-old formed a strong partnership with Granit Xhaka in the middle of the park and made it hard for the Villans to play their game.
Partey showed remarkable composure in midfield amid tight pressure and was one of the best players on the pitch.
The Ghana international midfielder had one attempt on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 88.2%, won one header, took 60 touches, attempted two dribbles, and made three tackles and one interception.
Meanwhile, Arsenal legend Martin Keown has praised central defender Gabriel for his performance against Villa.
Keown said on BT Sport 1 (2:40pm, March 19, 2022): “Gabriel today at the back was really strong, tight.”
