"Thomas Partey's goal was the turning point"- Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hailed Thomas Partey's pivotal goal in their commanding 5-1 victory over Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.

Partey's strike, just a minute after Erling Haaland's equalizer, proved crucial in restoring Arsenal's lead.

Arteta described the goal as a "turning point" that lifted the team's emotions and set the tone for the rest of the match.

Following Partey’s goal, Myles Lewis-SKelly extended Arsenal's lead, and further goals from Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri sealed the win.

Martin Ødegaard had opened the scoring early in the second minute. Arsenal remains second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
