Former Arsenal captain Gilberto Silva likened Thomas Partey to Patrick Vieira after their defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
Although Partey ended up on the losing side at Emirates Stadium he produced an excellent individual display which was certainly one of his best performances since arriving at Arsenal.
Following the game Arsenal's official Twitter account posted an image of Partey's heat map, to which Gilberto replied: 'He looked like @OfficialVieira'.
Gilberto, now a player agent, played alongside Vieira in midfield for Arsenal, with the pair both being involved in the club's invincible campaign in 2003-04.
Vieira, meanwhile, is in his first season as manager of Crystal Palace.
