Leeds United’s Own Goal Against Arsenal Should Be Mine – Madueke

Arsenal forward Noni Madueke has pleaded with the Premier League to award him a goal against Leeds United. Recall that his assist was awarded as an own goal to goalkeeper Karl Darlow on Saturday, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, because his corner kick was clearly on target, and the ball would’ve gone in if the GK was not in goal, he deserves to be named the goalscorer.

Rice added that winning 4-0 after recent underwhelming EPL performances is massive for the Gunners.

His words, “How can that be an own goal? It was going on target, if the keeper’s not in the goal then it goes in, so, I don’t understand how that’s an own goal. So Premier League please take a look at that and fix it for me.”

Rice said after the game, “Off the back of the last three performances we knew how big today was. To win 4-0 is a massive win for us. We can control what we can control and we have to keep winning games and keep pushing. What will be will be. So far we are top in the Premier League and won eight out of eight in the Champions League.

We can’t complain about where we are. We are in a really strong position, we know as players we have a really good squad. Every game is a cup final. We have a long four months ahead but we are prepared. Let’s keep going and give it a good go.”

WOW.
