Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has criticized midfielder Thomas Partey following the Gunners’ Premier League 1-1 draw with Brighton on Saturday.
Wright was unimpressed with Partey’s defending in the build up to Brighton’s equalising goal against Arsenal.
Arsenal led at the interval after Kai Havertz put the hosts ahead following Bukayo Saka’s assist.
In the second half, Joao Pedro sprinted away from Partey to score a deserved equaliser and Wright was not pleased with the Ghanaian international.
“When you look at the play, you look at Thomas Partey. He’s literally run past him,” Wright told Premier League Productions.
“Thomas Partey has to recognise in that instant he has to go all the way with Pedro and at least make a challenge. Pedro blasts past him and he’s just kind of jogging back.
“Those are the things that when you look back at that you will say well that could have been avoided.”
