Black Stars midfielder, Thomas Partey was in devastating form as Arsenal returned to winning ways with a thumping victory over Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Partey served French forward Alexander Lacazette with a sumptuous assist to crown a majestic display at the Bramall Lane. The Gunner won 3-0 as Partey provided his second assist in the English top-flight.

The former Atletico Madrid star responded to recent criticism by bossing the midfield on Sunday, helping his side to a routine win.

The 27-year-old has been nominated for the club's man of the match following his performance in the game.

Alexander Lacazette opened the scoring in the first half before profiting from a Partey assist to make in three for the Gunners, his brace was sandwiched by a Gabriel Martinelli strike.

The French attacker was later replaced by English-born Ghanaian forward Eddie Nketiah, with Ethan Ampadu also featuring for Sheffield United.
