Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney weighed in on Arsenal's recent victory over his former club, asserting that Thomas Partey was fortunate to escape penalty trouble during the match. Rooney's comments came in response to a contentious moment in the 37th minute when Amad Diallo went down in the box following a challenge from Partey. Although initial impressions suggested a possible penalty due to contact, replays indicated otherwise, showing that it was Diallo's foot that made contact with Partey's.

"I don’t think this is a penalty, [but] Partey is very lucky," Rooney stated during an interview with Sky Sports. "He goes off his feet early and he fortunately just gets a nick on the ball. For me it’s not a penalty but Partey is very lucky."

Rooney's analysis adds to the post-match debate surrounding the incident, highlighting the fine margins and subjective nature of refereeing decisions in football.
