Arsenal and Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey put in a man of the match display despite his side losing 2-1 to Manchester City 2-1 in their English Premier League game.

Thomas Partey was very dominant in the middle of the pitch as he won tackles and every 50/50 balls in the game.

The Ghanaian midfielder had 48 touches, 77.4% passing accuracy, 1 key pass and 100% interception, 5 successful out of 6 dribbles and won 9 out of 14 ground duels.

Arsenal looked to have held out for a draw, but Rodri steered in a loose ball in the 93rd minute to help City claim an 11th successive league win in a game that also had two major VAR incidents and an avoidable red card for Gunners defender Gabriel Magalhaes.

The hosts were the better side early on at Emirates Stadium, and Bukayo Saka swept in a deserved opener to finish off a slick move before the Gunners self-destructed after the break.

Riyad Mahrez levelled from the penalty spot after Bernardo Silva was brought down by Granit Xhaka, referee Stuart Attwell overturning his initial decision after viewing the pitchside monitor.

Arsenal felt aggrieved at that call after their own shouts for a penalty in the first half were denied following a long VAR check for Ederson's tackle on Martin Odegaard.

But one minute after conceding from a penalty Gabriel was sent off for two yellow cards in quick succession, the first for trying to scuff up the spot and the second for a foul on Gabriel Jesus.
