The result propelled Arsenal to third place in the Champions League table with 13 points from six matches, five points behind group leaders Liverpool. Meanwhile, Monaco dropped to 15th with 10 points from their six games.
What truly captured fans’ attention, however, was Partey’s standout performance in an unfamiliar right-back role.
Manager Mikel Arteta opted for Declan Rice and Mikel Merino in the midfield double pivot, moving the Ghana international to the defensive flank.

"Arsenal midfield is not the same without Thomas Partey, Rice doesn’t comes close."
