Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has called on his teammates to learn from their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth in Saturday’s Premier League encounter.
Softfootball notes that the Ghanaian international believes the Gunners must quickly move on from the setback by correcting the mistakes that cost them valuable points.
Arsenal’s task became significantly harder after defender William Saliba was shown a red card in the first half for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, forcing Mikel Arteta’s side to play with 10 men.
Bournemouth capitalised on their numerical advantage to hand the North London club their first league defeat of the season.
Reflecting on the result, Partey stressed the importance of staying united, insisting that red cards are part of football and every setback should serve as a learning experience.
The experienced midfielder added that Arsenal have been working hard and remain committed to winning individual battles on the pitch, despite occasional mistakes that can change the outcome of matches.
Partey also expressed confidence in the team’s ability when playing with a full complement of players, stating that Arsenal usually dominate games whenever all 11 men remain on the field.
The Gunners will now look to respond positively in their next fixture as they continue their pursuit of Premier League success this season.
