Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey featured for Arsenal on Tuesday night as they claimed a 2-0 victory over PSG in the UEFA Champions League.

Early goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka set the tone for Mikel Arteta's side, who secured their first win of the new campaign.

In a match where opportunities were scarce, set-pieces played a decisive role, with both of Arsenal's goals originating from well-placed crosses delivered from wide areas.

Leandro Trossard whipped in a superb cross for Havertz to score the opener at the 20-minute mark, though it was largely aided by a mistake from Donnarumma, who rushed out but completely missed the ball, making it easier for the German to capitalise.
