Thomas Partey features for Arsenal in delightful 3-1 comeback win against Southampton

The Gunners after losing by a lone goal to the Saints over the weekend in the English FA Cup returned to the grounds this evening keen on having their revenge at the end of the Premier League fixture.

The visitors after a slow start to the match however trailed after just three minutes into the first half when Stuart Armstrong brilliantly controlled a well-taken corner kick from James Ward-Prowse before firing in a fantastic effort.

Five minutes later, the efforts of the Londoners paid off with a neat finish from Nicolas Pepe drawing level for the side.

Now with momentum, Arsenal played a lot better and went on to take the lead for the first time on the matchday in the 39^th minute through a smart finish from in-form attacker Bukayo Saka.

Subsequently, in the second half, French forward Alexandre Lacazette scored to seal a 3-1 win for Arsenal when he latched onto a cross from Bukayo Saka in the 73^rd minute.

In a game where Thomas Partey played 78 minutes, he looked good but not at his best. For his efforts, the midfield dynamo earned a rating of 6.7 per statistics provided by SofaScore.
