88% duels won, 6 recoveries: £45m star was Arsenal’s best player after 8/10 performance vs Brentford – opinion | OneFootball

Arsenal registered a third-straight Premier League win following a 3-1 comeback triumph over Brentford on the road on Wednesday.

The Gunners had a positive start against the Bees but went behind after just 13 minutes.

Thomas Frank’s side scored on the counter-attack. Bryan Mbeumo netted his 11th goal of the top-flight campaign for the hosts.

The Gunners levelled the proceedings before the break. Gabriel Jesus scored from a rebound after Thomas Partey’s shot was saved.

In the second half, Arsenal were much better and sealed the victory after quick-fire goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli.

There were plenty of good performances in the London derby, but we were impressed with Partey’s showing from defensive midfield.

The Ghana international was reinstated into the starting XI and showed his class by winning 89 percent of his ground and aerial duels.

The midfielder also made six ball recoveries and three successful tackles.

Partey indirectly created the equaliser with his long-range shot. Jesus was first on guard to head the rebound into the back of the net.

The former Atletico Madrid man received an 8/10 rating from football.london.

The £45 million signing has been in excellent form for the Gunners this term, and it is left to be seen whether Arsenal prolong his stay.

His current contract worth £200,000 per week expires at the end of June and Arsenal are yet to negotiate a possible renewal for the midfielder.

The 31-year-old has had injury troubles in every season at the club. He has been injury-free this season, which has brought the best out of him.
