Thomas Partey, whose season has been blighted with injuries, played full throttle, controlling the game's pace for Arsenal.
The midfielder's performance attracted a sweltering review from an Arsenal fan who couldn't hide his excitement over Partey's calm composure during the game.
"We've missed him big time because that midfield trio with Partey, Odegard and Rice is one of the best in the league," he said.
Previously, Partey had impressed EPL legend Ian Wright, who showered him with significant praise, signalling Thomas Party's highly anticipated resurgence this season.
According to sports journalist Lawrence Baidoo, who spoke exclusively to YEN.com.gh, he said,
"Partey has always been that kind of player who has given the Arsenal defence a lot of protection when he has played. Even though the Gunners didn't really lose many without him, his presence on the pitch gives them much more time on the ball and allows them to dominate games."
If they can get Partey heavily involved against Manchester United once again, they will have luck on their side and hopefully City drop points, he added.
