England played their final game of the international break on Tuesday and an Arsenal man was on target for his first Three Lions goal. Four Arsenal players had been called up for September’s round of international fixtures. Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke all made the Three Lions squad for the World Cup qualifiers and started the 2-0 win over Andorra. In the most recent game against Serbia, Eze was dropped to the bench, while Lewis-Skelly was the only player left out of the matchday squad by Thomas Tuchel. Nonetheless, the Three Lions registered a commanding win, thrashing the Serbs 5-0. Rice and Madueke made goal contributions in the game, with the latter even scoring his first goal for England.
Madueke opens his account in style
Arsenal’s £52 million summer signing opened his account in style, finishing off a lovely team move with a clever finish to double their lead in the 35th minute. The game was his ninth cap for the national team and it will carry personal significance for the rest of his career. His goal came after he was criticised by Tuchel following the game against Andorra, something that will only boost his confidence heading into the resumption of club football. Declan Rice was also a standout performer for England yet again, assisting two of their five goals against Serbia.
Arsenal return awaits
The arrival of Madueke was questioned by a small section of the fanbase in the summer, but the former PSV man is quickly winning them over just a month into the new campaign. He has featured in all three Arsenal games so far, starting the last two and impressing in each of those matches. He was arguably our best attacking player outright against Liverpool. The key will be consistency for the former Chelsea man, while the quality of his performances will need to improve further as well. Arsenal’s first game back after the international break is a tie against Nottingham Forest. Madueke will likely reprise his role on the right flank as Bukayo Saka continues to nurse an injury. Off the back of two solid performances over the break, the Barnet-born winger will be raring to go and hopefully continue his rich vein of form.
Do you have high expectations for Madueke this campaign? Let me know in the comments.
