Noni Madueke began from the 1st minute on the pitch as the Gunners extended their lead at the top in the Premier League to 7 points as they defeated Leeds to record their 1st EPL victory in 4 league games.
Noni was not meant to start the match and was a late replacement for winger Bukayo Saka, who sustained a hip injury during the warm-up.
And Madueke, who was placed on the bench lately, took this opportunity and assisted Martin Zubimendi for the opening goal of this team.
Leeds began the clash well, but the North London club pinned them back for a large part of the 1st 45 minutes, winning several corners, and one of them was deciding.
Arsenal doubled its lead when Noni’s curling delivery caught out goalkeeper Karl Darlow, and he could only punch the ball into his own net.
