Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has heaped praised on midfielder Thomas Partey following his performance on his first start since injury.
The 27-year-old was sidelined for over a month with a hip issue and played a cameo role in the Gunners' 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace off the bench last week.
Arteta threw their £45million summer signing into the fray from the off on Monday night against Newcastle and the former Atletico Madrid man put in an impressive display.
'Really happy,' Arteta said of Partey to Sky Sports.
