Some Ghanaians mocked Nigerians on social media, specifically Twitter, following Thomas Partey‘s stunning goals against Tottenham in the North London derby.
Thomas Partey scored a spectacular curler from outside the box, similar to a goal he scored against Nigeria to qualify Ghana for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Ghanaians then trolled their West African rivals, claiming the goal gives Nigerians flashbacks.
Others added that Partey chose to score the goal on Nigeria’s independence day, adding salt to their wounds.
Partey commanded the midfield for the Gunners in their 3-1 victory over Tottenham in the derby.
Partey, who suffered a knee injury but recovered in time to play 73 minutes, received a standing ovation from the fans after an outstanding performance by the Black Stars’ deputy captain.
Thomas Partey scores on Nigeria’s independence day to remind them of his goal that sent Ghana to Qatar and them to their various homes. 😂😂

Thomas Partey’s screamer against Tottenham reminds me of that goal against Nigeria in Abuja…I thought it was a fluke or our goalkeeper was not good enough until this afternoon. #ARSTOT
