Madueke and Eze’s Growing Partnership Fuels Arsenal’s Attack

In a post-match interview, Noni Madueke opened up about his synergy with Eberechi Eze, emphasizing their role in Arsenal’s creative play. “Me and Eberechi Eze try and get the ball, and the manager tells us to try and create. I did that today, and so did he,” Madueke said. This partnership, encouraged by manager Mikel Arteta, was evident throughout the game, with the duo unlocking Forest’s defense time and again.

Madueke, who earned man-of-the-match honors with a goal and assist, reflected on the personal significance of playing for Arsenal. “It’s special, a big moment for me and my family. I enjoy this environment, being pushed, being elevated,” he shared. The former Chelsea winger has quickly adapted to life at Arsenal, thriving in a high-pressure setup that demands excellence.

Self-Belief Key for Wingers in Arsenal’s System

As a winger in Arteta’s tactical framework, Madueke stressed the importance of confidence on the ball. “It’s important to keep the self-belief that you can get the ball and do it yourself, as a winger you need that,” he noted. This mindset paid off with his stunning solo goal in the second half, a moment that epitomized Arsenal’s blend of individual brilliance and team cohesion.

Eberechi Eze, the ex-Crystal Palace midfielder, complemented Madueke’s comments by discussing the high expectations at Arsenal. “Everyone knows what the target is. We’ve been brought in to try and add to that. It’s different levels, a different type of environment, but it’s something we relish,” Eze explained. Their additions have injected fresh energy into Arsenal’s squad, aiming for Premier League and Champions League success.

Excitement Builds for Arsenal’s Champions League Debut

With the Premier League win propelling Arsenal to the top of the table, focus shifts to their upcoming Champions League fixture. Madueke expressed his enthusiasm about debuting in the competition alongside Eze. “When Eberechi Eze and I came off, we were talking about it man - it’s going to be special! It’s our first time playing in the Champions League so something to thank God for - we’ll try and have fun and get a win!” he said.

This Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest result underscores the Gunners’ strong start to the 2025/26 Premier League season.
