Partey, 27, was immediately thrust into Arsenal’s starting XI for Sunday’s home clash against the Foxes alongside Dani Ceballos.
But he failed to make an impact as Jamie Vardy came off the bench to score an 80th minute winner for Leicester.
It was the Foxes’ first victory at Arsenal in 47 years.
And some Gunners fans believe Partey has made a big mistake leaving a club like Atletico Madrid for the Emirates.
Indeed, some even reckon he will now end up wasting his prime footballing years like Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.
The pair joined Arsenal from Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, with both then regarded as world-class players.
But despite decent starts, their Emirates careers floundered.
And some supporters feel Partey is now destined for the same fate.
One wrote: “Partey will regret joining our club. His prime years will be wasted like Ozil, Sanchez etc.”
Another said: “What manner of Partey did we just witness? Flat midfield.”
One tweeted: “What it feels like when your Partey flops.”
Another beamed: “Partey must be fuming that he went Arsenal.”
One added: “Partey left a Champions League side to go to Arsenal. Let that sink in.
“Partey left Atletico Madrid to go to Arsenal. Talk about a drop in quality.”
