Thomas Partey recent form is one which Ghanaian football fans should be happy about.
For three consecutive EPL games, he has been energetic and fabulous. What is exciting about recent performance is that, he is not just glittering in matches against easy sides, but rather, tough opponents.
He did against Tottenham Hotspur, gracing it with a superb goal. Against a very stubborn defensive Nottingham Forest, Partey bossed the midfield like he did in the previous game.
Though Sunday, 7th October, 2022, against Arsenal’s bitter rival Chelsea FC, he didn’t score, his performance was that which every Ghanaian would want him to emulate in the national colours at the 2022 World Cup.
Below are his stats from the game.
75 touches
52/56 accurate passes completed
93% pass accuracy rate
6/6 accurate long balls
5/6 ground duels won
2/5 aerial duels won
8 passes into the final third
2/2 successful dribbles
13 recoveries
3 clearance
2 interceptions
2 tackles
With this performance against a fierce rival like Chelsea, Ghanaians are praying that he stays 100% fit for the World Cup to anchor the midfield.
