Gary Neville slams Thomas Partey’s 'unforgivable' error in Arsenal's Villa stalemate

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey faced criticism from Gary Neville after his defensive error contributed to a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal led 2-0 before Ollie Watkins capitalized on Partey’s lapse in concentration to spark Villa's comeback. Neville called the mistake "unforgivable" during Sky Sports' coverage.

Despite dominating possession (66%), Arsenal struggled in the absence of Bukayo Saka. Leandro Trossard impressed with a goal, but Kai Havertz missed key chances that could have secured victory.

The draw adds to Arsenal's recent frustrations, following dropped points against Fulham, Everton, and Brighton, jeopardizing their title hopes.

With Manchester City showing inconsistency, Arsenal must capitalize and aim for a win in their crucial match against Wolves on January 25 to revive their Premier League aspirations.
