BREAKING NEWS: Ian Wright, a legend of Arsenal, chastises a player for a lacklustre performance in a 2-0 victory over Wolves.
Despite the fact that Arsenal defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers by a score of 2-0 in their first Premier League match of the 2024-25 season, Ian Wright, a legendary player for Arsenal, has criticised Thomas Partey for his performance. The match took place at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, August 17, and the two teams competed against each other.
Within the 25th minute, Kai Havertz broke the tie by scoring a goal with his head after receiving an excellent cross from Bukayo Saka. Soon after that, Wolves had a number of excellent opportunities to equalise, but David Raya stood in the way of them.
Rayan Ait-Nouri was able to get a shot off after Partey made a huge mistake in the 62nd minute of the game. The good news for Arsenal is that his shot was not properly directed. Saka increased the Gunners’ lead with a well-executed finish in the bottom-right corner of the goal in the 74th minute, despite the fact that Wolves presented a promising performance in the second half.
Despite the fact that Arsenal emerged victorious with all three points, the fans remained dissatisfied with Partey. Although he played all ninety minutes in the No. 6 position, the 31-year-old player was unsuccessful in four duels and appeared to be unstable in possession.
“Party has been awful this match,” wrote one of the fans on the website.
The following tweet was sent out by another fan: “I will pay whoever makes a Partey comp of this game.” “He has dropped a zero, which is not ironic.”
As a response, several fans posted the following: “Need parety replacement asap,” one fan tweeted.
