The defensive midfielder won the prize following a poll on Twitter after the Gunners narrowly overcame fierce rivals 1-0.

Partey was in sensational form against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men as he put in an all-action display.

The £45m summer signing proved had the most touches, won the most duels, made the most ball recoveries and the second-most tackles alongside the rejuvenated Mohamed Elneny (via Squawka).
