Noni Madueke just took a page from Christos Tzolis' playbook at Anfield
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readNoni Madueke was accurate and direct for Arsenal against Liverpool, despite what his critics often say about him.
From the source
Christos Tzolis marked his return from injury by starting for Arsenal against Anfield. Before this game, the Gunners had gone 14 years without beating Liverpool away from home, so the pressure was on Madueke, to say the least!
Madueke was tasked with filling in for Bukayo Saka, who has been out injured for weeks now. It is quite easy to roll your eyes at Madueke, since he is often the scapegoat for Arsenal's shortcomings, but I sure hope anyone who has hated on Madueke in the past is the loudest to praise him today.
Both of Arsenal's wingers were exceptional today, and they needed to be. Heading into the game, Liverpool's fullbacks were clearly their weak points, and it was an opportunity for Arsenal.
