Gonçalo Inacio pulled a goal back for Sporting shortly after the break but Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard struck to seal Arsenal’s win. Partey, meanwhile, registered an impressive performance at the heart of Arsenal’s midfield and Arteta has backed the 31-year-old to be a ‘massive player’ for his side this season. ‘I think it’s one of the best performances I have seen from him, especially the way he’s dominated the game so that’s the level he can play, he’s progressing,’ Arteta said of Partey.
