Thomas Partey and Arsenal end preseason with Emirates Cup success

Ghana international Thomas Partey is an Emirates Cup champion after helping Arsenal beat Lyon to lift the trophy on August 11, 2024.

The Black Stars midfielder started and played 77 minutes as the Gunners cruised to a 2-0 win over the French Ligue 1 giants to emerge as champions in the thrilling clash.

The Gunners end their preseason training with Emirates Cup success and will be eyeing a successful 2024/25 season.

Partey delivered a top-class performance to help his team secure victory over their opponents.

France international William Saliba opened the scoring for the English outfit just nine minutes into the game before Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhães extended the lead for the hosts. With no additional goals in the second half, Arsenal cruised to victory to clinch the trophy at the Emirates Stadium.

Partey, who has been linked with a move away from Arsenal, will be hoping for a successful season with the Gunners. The Black Stars midfielder was limited to a few games last season due to persistent injury setbacks.

Meanwhile, his compatriot Ernest Nuamah made a substitute appearance in the thrilling clash. He was introduced in the 64th minute but could do little to save his side from defeat.
