Partey’s position was a talking point from the game after he was again used at right-back after playing in that position in last week’s victory over Nottingham Forest.
Despite playing well, the Ghanaian international’s absence from Arsenal’s midfield prevented them from exerting the usual dominance over their opponents.
Meanwhile, Partey’s adaptability was commended by Arteta last week, who also suggested that the midfielder might spend a lot of time at right-back.
