Partey proud of teammates after victory over Chelsea

Ghana midfielder, Thomas Partey, has praised his Arsenal teammates after the big win against Chelsea in the English Premier League on Tuesday night. 

Partey started a Premier League for the first time since returning from injury as the Gunners recorded a 5-0 victory over the Blues to go three points clear at the top of the table.

Ben While and Kai Havertz scored a second-half brace each to add to Leandro Trossard’s first-half strike.

“It was a very good game, we went all out from the beginning because we knew how important this game was. If we don’t approach it right we are not able to win, but we did everything right and I’m really proud of the squad,” said Partey after the game.

The former Atletico midfielder also singled out German forward Kai Havertz for praise following his brace heroics.

“He’s a great player, he’s working a lot and you can see the work he’s doing. He deserves everything that comes along. I hope he can continue like that and finish the season strongly,” he said.

Partey is expected to start for Arsenal on Sunday in the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

Ahly Create History in CAFCL Semi Final

Continuing their dominance in African football, Al Ahly booked their spot in the 2024 CAF Champions League this weekend while PSL giants Mamelodi Sundowns fell short in their semi-final clash against Tunisian side Espérance Sportive de Tunis.

With Al Ahly and TP Mazembe heading to the Cairo International Stadium with a 0-0 aggregate scoreline, goals by Mohamed Abdelmonem, Wessam Ali and Akram Tawfik saw the Egyptian side emerge victorious in their second-leg semi-final fixture against the Congolese giants.

In turn, the Red Devils became the first side in history to qualify for the CAF Champions League final for the fifth season in succession.

Over in South Africa, ES Tunis recorded a 1-0 win against Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld in their second-leg encounter on Friday night.

While the game was momentarily suspended due to bad weather, Raed Bouchniba’s 57th minute effort separated the two sides on the night despite the Brazilians’ dominance throughout the 90 minutes.

Despite falling short in the CAF Champions League, Masandawana earned their spot at the extended 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The Tshwane-side qualified via the ranking pathway alongside ES Tunis, while Al Ahly and Wydad AC booked their spot in the tournament as recent winners of the CAF Champions League.
