He can't try this with Muntari - Social media users react to video of Grealish grabbing Partey's jersey

Partey and Grealish nearly got into a brawl after a tackle. The English hooked Partey by the shirt but the Ghanaian, who was on a yellow card, could not react but only left his arms open and stared Grealish in the eyes.

The image of the incident has gone viral, with many imagining that former Ghana player Sulley Muntari could have put Grealish in his place rather than simply staring at him as Partey did.

Others ridiculed Partey for being supposedly a walkover in the little fury that occurred in the second half of the game.

Muntari was known as an assertive, aggressive type of midfielder who do not let go of little provocations.

At the peak of his prowess, Muntari carved a reputation as a no-nonsense player who stood up for his teammates and never tolerated bullying.

Thomas Partey was a shadow of himself as Arsenal got hammered 4-1 at the Etihad on Wednesday, April 26, 2023.

Following the defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad, Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League has almost diminished with City now two points away despite playing two games less.

Below are some reactions

Football is love. Partey's reaction was the best way to show Grealish that football is not a fight.

Partey is such a disciplined player. pic.twitter.com/YzsT4IQ0kZ
