Considering his average performance it was perhaps a surprise to see the Ghanaian last the full 90 minutes at the Emirates Stadium.
While the midfielder completed 91% of his passes and won five of his eight duels, had the player tracked back in the build-up to Spurs' goal, they may have kept a clean sheet.
Indeed, Partey let Pape Matar Sarr run down the right-hand side of the pitch under no pressure, with Tottenham eventually forcing a corner that wasn't cleared properly and then Heung-min Son finding the net.
It was a moment in the game that drew mass criticism with The Athletic's Aaron Catterson-Reid commenting that "Partey is a ghost in transition" while Sky Sports' Dougie Critchley noted that "his lack of effort is shocking".
Arsenal-Partey
So, while Partey cost £45m when he first penned terms with Arsenal, he shouldn't be fetching a single penny over the summer with his contract due to expire.
It's time for Arteta to replace him. Zubimendi, we're waiting for you.
