Cole Palmer & Morgan Rogers send message to Arsenal star with 3 dribbles vs Wigan

Arsenal registered a convincing 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.

The Gunners were clear-cut favourites to beat the Latics at the Emirates Stadium and did so with four quick-fire goals in the opening 27 minutes.

Noni Madueke started the scoring for the London giants. The Englishman was one of the many standout performers in what was a straightforward win.

Madueke was described as a ‘great player‘ by Owen Hargreaves after the 4-0 rout, and his English teammates were also impressed by his display.

Shortly after the victory, the 23-year-old posted on Instagram. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers replied with heart and fire emojis respectively.

The 23-year-old has picked up form over the last few weeks. He has registered three goals and provided an assist in the last five appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.

He has certainly stepped up in the injury absence of Bukayo Saka. Both Saka and Madueke played together yesterday, with the former operating from the number 10 position.

Aside from his goal, Madueke created four chances for his teammates with three successful dribbles. He also made four recoveries and won three duels before he was replaced at the hour mark.

His early substitution probably suggests that he will continue on the right wing when the Gunners take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in a preponed Premier League game on Wednesday night.

Madueke has netted four goals in his last two outings against Wolves, including a hat-trick at the Molineux Stadium for Chelsea last term. He looks poised to start from the right wing.

In his post-match presser, manager Mikel Arteta talked up the possibility of playing Saka centrally more often, and he could continue as the attacking midfielder against Rob Edwards’ side.
