There was a time when Mikel Arteta pushed the injured Thomas Partey when Arsenal lost to Tottenham Hotspur. Several fans commented on the incident angrily.
The North London derby, Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal, ended with a 2-0 win for the home team. Son Heung-min opened the scoring with a goal in the 13th minute before Harry Kane increased the lead in first-half injury time on a counterattack.
Well, it was the moment of the counterattack on Harry Kane’s goal that introduced the scene of Arteta, the Arsenal manager, pushing Thomas Partey to the sidelines. Arteta admitted that she wanted Partey to return to the field immediately because there was a counterattack.
“Thomas is out, he’s limping, he’s in pain, he has to go out and we lost a player at that crucial moment of the transition. He should have fallen on the court. I want him to stay on the court, do what he can for the team on that situation”. “Mikel Arteta said after the match.
“I tried to push him back onto the field, I don’t think he realized how urgent the situation was when he left his post. It was probably because he was in a lot of pain. There is nothing we can do now to resolve that.”
The video of the scene of pushing Arteta to Thomas Partey went viral on social networks (medsos). Not a few were upset by the actions of the Arsenal manager because they ran the risk of worsening injuries to players.
“This clip is really shocking. Very fond of. Partey was already trying to run when Arteta pushed him and began to limp back. He (Arteta) could worsen (Partey’s) injury,” tweeted a netizen.
“I can’t help but think that Arteta will take risks with Partey like this. This person doesn’t really think about that,” said another.
“There’s no reason, this is terrible on Mikel Arteta’s part. Watching your player stop due to injury on the fast break is frustrating, but you can’t just push him back to play right away. That could make Partey’s injury worse.” said a fan of the club. a different Twitter account.
Shortly after the incident, Thomas Partey was removed by Mikel Arteta to be replaced by Dani Ceballos. But Arsenal still lost 0-2 to Spurs through a pair of goals in the first half.
