Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey scored a wonder goal against Tottenham Hotspur as the Gunners beat their North London rivals 3-1 to go top of the Premier League.

The 29-year-old made a quick injury return to make Mikel Arteta's starting eleven after missing Ghana's international friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua.

Partey scored his third goal in a Arsenal shirt with a sweet strike from 25 yards to open the scoring for Mikel Arteta's men.

Harry Kane then scored from the penalty spot to pull Spurs level, but further goals from Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka sealed the win for the Gunners.

Arsenal lead the table after 8 games, 1 point above last season's winners Manchester City.
