Arsenal fans are all saying the same thing about Eberechi Eze after Lille display

Eberechi Eze didn’t even get off the bench against Leeds on Saturday. It was a major wake-up call for the 28-year-old, after Mikel Arteta said that Noni Madueke had earned his starting spot through his application in training, implying that he wants more from Eze.

Against Lille in the Champions League, he had the chance to respond. Eze scored Arsenal’s second goal in what became a dominant 3-0 victory, sweeping home at the near post from Bukayo Saka’s cross.

It was a well-taken goal albeit one that took a slight deflection on its way in. He got more joy in the second half, particularly drifting into that left pocket, the zone where he is most dangerous.
