Thomas Partey delivered a midfield masterclass as Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday.
Partey, 27, starred for the Gunners who secured three huge points at Old Trafford.
The Ghanaian, who arrived for £45 million in the summer transfer window, showed off both sides of his game as he produced passes from midfield and broke up play.
In the first-half alone, he completed three take-ons and recovered the ball eight times, among other stats.

Thomas Partey has gone beyond adapting to the Premier League and has become the entire Premier League in a matter of days. A truly impressive feat.

Partey dominating Pogba in the midfield with relative ease. You love to see it.

Pogba isn’t on Partey’s level.

One Twitter user wrote: "Partey rightly gets all the praises in this half but Elneny has been underrated. Superb partnership by both in midfield so far though."
A second tweeted: "Thomas Partey has been the best player on the pitch by some distance. Looking forward every time he gets the ball."
A third added: "He's been everywhere, would have hated being a United player in that half because every time they turned Partey was on top of them."
The 1-0 victory over United moves Arsenal to 8th in the Premier League with 12 points on the board.
