Overview
- Arsenal beat Club Brugge 3-0 in the Champions League as Noni Madueke scored twice, taking his European tally to three after an earlier goal against Bayern Munich and completing a six-from-six group campaign.
- The summer switch from Chelsea drew a #NoToMadueke petition and fee scepticism, but traveling supporters in Belgium were heard singing his name.
- Mikel Arteta hailed the performance as outstanding, while Chris Sutton praised the deal as a really smart signing that reduces the load on Bukayo Saka.
- Gabriel Martinelli and Saka lauded Madueke on social media, and a lighthearted exchange among Micah Richards, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer debated the technique on his first strike.
- Madueke told TNT Sports he believes Arsenal can win both the Premier League and Champions League, with his form intensifying competition for places on the flanks.
