Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey features as Arsenal lose to PSV in Europa League

Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey was in action for Arsenal in their 2-0 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening.

Partey climbed off the bench to replace Albert Sambi Lokonga in the 56th minute as the Gunners missed a chance to seal top spot in Group A.

After a goalless first-half, Joey Veerman opened the scoring for PSV from 16 yards and a header by substitute Luuk de Jong after a mistake by keeper Aaron Ramsdale on his European debut saw Mikel Arteta’s side lose in Europe for the first time this season.

PSV also had three goals ruled out for offside as Arsenal were well beaten.

Mikel Arteta’s side need to beat Zurich in their final group game next Thursday at Emirates Stadium to guarantee a place in the last 16.

If they fail to win and PSV beat Bodo/Glimt in Norway, Arsenal will face two extra games in the knockout round playoffs, where teams that finish third in the Champions League group stage, including Barcelona, drop into.

Partey has made 11 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions and scored one goal in the process.

Arsenal host Nottingham Forest on Sunday as they aim to get back to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday.
