After his stunning strike against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, claims that they have been waiting to see Thomas Partey produce a long-range goal in the Premier League.
The 29-year-old scored two headers for Arsenal in the Premier League last season. He is known for hitting stunning long-range goals.
But on Saturday at noon, Partey finally received a trademark strike.
After 20 minutes of play, he produced an incredible first-time finish into the top corner to break the scoreless tie.
The former Atletico Madrid man was an imposing figure as Arsenal ran out 3-1 victors, and Arteta expressed his delight at witnessing Partey end his open-play hoodoo.
“We have been waiting for that one! For what he has been through I am so happy for him,” the Gunners boss told BT Sport after the game.
