Thomas Partey has been in sensational form for Arsenal since returning from an injury, producing another outstanding display against Tottenham Hotspur on April 28.

The Ghanaian international was the heart of the team in a dominant first-half display as the Gunners defeated their North London rivals 3-2 to keep their Premier League title hopes alive.

Partey's sublime outing came after a majestic display against Chelsea last week, as Arsenal tore the Blues apart 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium to take the lead in the standings.

In a video that has since been trending on social media, Partey's brilliant move left Tottenham midfielder, James Maddison, on the floor as he calmly progressed the ball forward.

In midweek, the ex-Atletico Madrid star had Chelsea midfielder, Moises Caicedo, in a similar position with his smooth no-touch pass.

Partey's return to the squad at the business end of the campaign could be decisive in their quest to end their 20-year wait for the Premier League title.

Meanwhile, in an exciting encounter at the Tottenham Stadium, the visitors opened the scoring through a Pierre-Emile Højbjerg own goal. Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz added two quick goals as Arsenal went into the break 3-0 up.

However, second-half strikes from Christian Romero and Son Heung-min saw the host pull two back but the Gunners survived that scare to claim the win.

Partey has now made 11 Premier League appearances this season for Arsenal, per Transfermarkt.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Partey showcased his class for Arsenal after returning to the starting line-up for the first time since recovering from an injury.

The Ghanaian international starred as the Gunners tore Chelsea apart in a London derby on April 23 to open a four-point lead at the top of the top-flight table.

A brace each from Ben White and Havertz, as well as a first-half strike from Leandro Trossard, saw the hosts stroll to a comfortable victory at the Emirates Stadium.
