""He was ready. Because you cannot do that in two minutes. The way he prepares, the way he's waiting for opportunity, I think paid off today because he really impacted the team.""
""It is an opportunity for him and he has performed well. When he went in at Arsenal and Saka got injured, he had an opportunity to get some games, then he got injured himself.""
""When he has been playing for England, he has shown what he can do. He will be a headache for both managers, Mikel Arteta and Thomas Tuchel, in the summer.""
Noni Madueke started after Bukayo Saka picked up a hip injury in the warm-up and played 60 minutes against Leeds. He created Martin Zubimendi's opener and delivered a corner that was punched into the net by Karl Darlow, contributing to a 4-0 Arsenal victory. Madueke was signed from Chelsea to add squad depth and cover for injuries, and his performance demonstrated readiness and impact. Mikel Arteta praised his preparation, and former England midfielder Fara Williams said the appearance gives Madueke an opportunity and poses a selection dilemma ahead of the World Cup.
