"Saturday: scores. Tuesday: scores. Love that Thomas Partey," wrote the London-based club on Twitter.

Thomas Partey was hugely missed by the Black Stars through injury last month, as Ghana won and lost in two of their World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa.

His return has been a major boost for the Black Stars, scoring to give Ghana the lead in Cape Coast before netting the sensational winner on Tuesday, October 13, 2021.

The former Atletico Madrid star is yet to score his debut goal for the Gunners, even though he has come close a couple of times.

Thomas Partey joined Arsenal in the summer of 2020 from Atletico Madrid, but his campaign was marred with injuries forcing him to even miss the start of this season.

His injury setback affected Arsenal as they lost all three opening premier league games without the Ghanaian.

However, the Gunners have not lost a game since he returned to full fitness.

Partey has been prolific with the Black Stars, having scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 34 matches for the four-time African champions.

FIFA took to Social Media to celebrate the Black Stars player.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, Arsenal and Ghana midfielder, Thomas Partey stole the spotlight after the Black Stars' victory in Harare against Zimbabwe on Tuesday, October 12, 2021.

Partey, who was Ghana captain on the day, scored a beautiful freekick to grab all three points for the West Africans as they kept the pressure on Group G leaders South Africa.

Many fans have reacted to his performance on social media, with some describing him as a better freekick taker than Lionel Messi.
