Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey has reached a century of appearances for Arsenal after starring in the draw against Manchester City on Sunday, September 22, 2024.
The 31-year-old started and lasted the entire duration as a late John Stones strike denied Arsenal a famous victory at the Etihad Stadium.
Partey joined Arsenal in the summer of 2020 and has now netted six goals and delivered three assists for the North London club.
The former Atletico Madrid star has been a key figure for the club since moving to England.
Interestingly, Partey made his debut against Manchester City, reaching a half-century of matches against the same side he made his 100th appearance.
The Ghana international completes his century of league games for Arsenal at the same venue and against the same opponents that he made his Gunners debut against back in October 2020 after signing from Atletico Madrid.
This season, Partey netted against Aston Villa last month – his first goal since scoring in the famous 3-2 win against Bournemouth in March 2023. He has played for Arsenal 120 times in total.
Partey is also making the 300th league appearance of his career today, having registered 200 games in La Liga and La Liga B during his time in Spain with Real Mallorca, Almeria, and Atletico Madrid.
