By Felo News Desk · Published
Arsenal beat LOSC Lille 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, but 24‑year‑old winger Noni Madueke faced a barrage of criticism on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
What happened
Madueke started his first Champions League match of the campaign, playing 65 minutes. He assisted Jurrien Timber’s 64th‑minute goal, but lost possession 21 times and completed only one of three dribbles attempted.
What the reports add
Sportskeeda noted that fans described his display as “promising with every moment he has the ball” while also urging Arsenal to stop “charging” for his appearances. One user suggested Bukayo Saka should replace Madueke’s minutes, and another claimed Saka made Madueke look foolish within two minutes.
What was said
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said after the match, “We gave simple things away – bad touches, mis‑timed things… Once we did that better we started to play in the opposition box.”
