Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey showcased his versatility with a stellar performance in an unfamiliar position during the Gunners' 2-2 draw against Liverpool in Gameweek nine of the Premier League.

With defender William Saliba sidelined due to suspension, manager Mikel Arteta made the tactical decision to shift Partey to right-back, a role he adapted to with remarkable effectiveness.

Facing off against Liverpool's dynamic forward Luis Diaz, Partey emerged as the standout player on the pitch.

He made five tackles, won nine out of 16 ground duels, and successfully claimed four of five aerial battles, proving vital in helping Arsenal secure a hard-fought point at home.

This draw keeps Arsenal's title aspirations alive as they currently sit fourth in the league table with 18 points, just five points adrift of leaders Manchester City.

Despite dealing with a string of injuries and suspensions, the Gunners remain competitive as they aim to build momentum in the upcoming matches.

Arteta will undoubtedly be pleased with Partey's adaptability, which highlights his commitment to the team.

As Arsenal prepares for its next fixtures, fans will be keen to see how the squad continues to rise to the challenge while pursuing a strong finish this season.
