Partey didn’t name Bukayo Saka or Gabriel Martinelli, but pointed to a different teammate as the one who wasted numerous chances during Arsenal's frustrating 1-1 draw against Brentford at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
Fresh off an electric performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League midweek, Arsenal were expected to carry that momentum into the Premier League clash. But the energy just wasn’t there in a game that lacked rhythm and urgency.
Arsenal managed to take the lead around the 60-minute mark thanks to a well-taken goal from Partey. However, Brentford refused to back down and found an equalizer through Yoane Wissa, ensuring the points were shared.
