"I will say it is a difficult place (St James' Park) to play. They have a lot of quality players and we did our best to try to turn things around. Unfortunately, we could not, we conceded early and at the end of the day we had to try our best, we did and we could not get the win," he said.
"We have to wake up and try to win our next game," he added.

Ahead of the game against Inter in midweek, Partey believes Arsenal will turn things around.

"I think it’s the best moment to turn things around. We are not just any team, we are Arsenal. We can do everything possible that is expected of us even though we lost today we can come back and do our best,” he added.

Partey features as right-back

The Ghana international was deployed at the right-back position for the second week running.

Despite showing great versatility, fans of Arsenal believe the defensive midfielder flourishes in the middle of the Park.

"I’ll need to make that assessment once I have more clarity about where he struggled, but I don’t have the impression he struggled much." said Mikel Arteta, as quoted by the club's official website, explaining Partey's new role.
