Thomas Partey scores bullet goal
After Bukayo Saka opened the scoring for the Gunners, Partey doubled their lead in emphatic fashion six minutes after recess.
Receiving a precise pass from Saka, the 31-year-old controlled the ball deftly with his left foot before unleashing an unstoppable shot that rocketed into the top corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.
This thunderous effort marked his second goal of the season, as noted by NBC Sports.
It mirrored a similar long-range strike against Aston Villa earlier in the campaign, and fans could not help but praise the Ghanaian international.
