Ghana international Thomas Partey played a key role in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Lyon, securing the Emirates Cup and concluding their pre-season on a high note.
Partey, who started and featured for 77 minutes, delivered a solid performance as the Gunners emerged victorious in the pre-season clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal’s French defender William Saliba opened the scoring just nine minutes into the match, and Brazilian centre-back Gabriel Magalhães extended the lead to 2-0 before halftime. Despite no further goals in the second half, Arsenal comfortably secured the win and lifted the trophy.
Partey, who has been linked with a potential move away from Arsenal, will be eager to build on this positive performance as he aims for a successful 2024/25 season. Last season, the midfielder struggled with injuries that limited his appearances.
In contrast, his compatriot Ernest Nuamah made a late appearance for Lyon, coming on in the 64th minute but unable to change the outcome of the game.
