Sky Sports journalist Praises Two Arsenal star After Arsenal’s Tough 1-1 Draw Against Brentford
Thomas Partey and Declan Rice earn special praise for their standout performances as Arsenal battle to a tough draw at the Emirates.
Arsenal Played 1-1 draw with a determined Brentford team at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, although the result was not what fans had hoped for, two players stood out; Thomas Partey and Declan Rice.
The Gunners looked extremely confident and in charge after their 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League earlier in the week. However, Brentford who are known for being well-organized and hard to break down made things much harder in this Premier League match.
Despite the challenge Arsenal showed moments of quality especially from midfield stars Partey and Rice. The pair linked up beautifully to score Arsenal’s only goal of the match. Declan Rice made a powerful run from deep in midfield, covering nearly the entire length of the pitch, before setting up Thomas Partey to finish off the move.
Sky Sports journalist Sam Blitz was full of praise for the duo, pointing out how they had already impressed during the Real Madrid game and continued their strong form against Brentford.
“Declan Rice produced another moment of magic for Arsenal’s opener, running nearly the full length of the pitch to set up Thomas Partey’s goal,” Blitz said. “Both Rice and Partey ran the show against Real Madrid in midfield, both were excellent once again in the following game, with Partey slotting in at right-back.”
This kind of versatility has become one of Arsenal’s biggest strengths. Rice has shown his ability to cover a lot of ground and help both in defence and attack. Meanwhile, Partey has shown calmness on the ball and the ability to adapt even playing as a right-back when needed.
As the season heads into its most important stage Arsenal fans will be hoping that these two key players can stay fit and keep playing at this top form. Their performances will be very important in both the Premier League and the Champions League as Arsenal aim for success on multiple fronts.
Although the Arsenal squad took only one point from the match, Rice and Partey showed why they are valuable contributors to the squad with their outstanding performances.
