Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has revealed that Thomas Partey’s stunning long range goal in the 3-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur was something straight off the training ground.
The Ghanaian international broke the deadlock on the 20th minute mark to give the Gunners the lead at the Emirates Stadium,
Ben White rolled the ball to an unmarked Thomas Partey who hits it first time from 20 yards into the top corner of the goal.
However, the skipper revealed that Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff had expected Partey to be allowed time and space by our opponents, and had worked on creating that shooting opportunity which was executed to perfection.
Speaking post-match, Martin said: “It was a great goal. We knew before the game he was going to be free in those areas and we practised that a lot, to find him in those areas, and he made a great shot.
“I think he played a great game as well so a lot of credit to him, and of course the team.”
