Ghana and Ivory Coast play out goalless draw in Cape Coast
Ghana failed to score for the second straight game as their international friendly encounter against Ivory Coast ended in a goalless draw at the Cape Coast stadium on Saturday. The Ivorians were largely dominant in the game and could have won. Akonnor’s side in comparison were poor throughout, struggling to find a way to trouble their opponents. After the disappointing 1-0 loss to Morocco, a response was expected from Ghana in front of their home fans but it ended in disappointment. Ghana’s biggest chance came at the end of the first half where Thomas Partey tried one from distance but saw his shot saved by the opposition goalkeeper. Ivory Coast nearly found the net before that. A brilliant one-two exposed the Black Stars defence but the finishing at the end was lacking. Max Gradel’s goal-...
Arsenal set for complete overhauling, close in on £43 million move

Martin Keown slams Arsenal star who lost possession 15 times vs Villarreal
Former Arsenal star Martin Keown was critical of the performance of midfielder Thomas Partey following the club’s Europa League semi-final exit at the hands of Villarreal. The Gunners suffered a 2-1 defeat in the first leg at El Madrigal, and they needed to score at least once at the Emirates Stadium to have any chance of progressing to the final.

Mikel Arteta opted to play with a single defensive midfielder in Thomas Partey for the game, and the Ghanaian was guilty of squandering possession regularly.
