Madueke is reaching a new level at Arsenal

Arsenal beat Hull City 1-0 to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points. The standout name in the match was Noni Madueke. The former Chelsea winger is currently the player who has created the most chances in the league.

Late in the match, Madueke sat down on the grass and put his head in his hands after missing a one-on-one chance. He was visibly frustrated after the final whistle. Arteta said the player's reaction showed the standard he expects from him.

Bukayo Saka's injury has been a serious blow for Arsenal. Madueke has taken it upon himself to fill that gap. His shot led to the save that preceded Odegaard's goal. Madueke also reached Arsenal's highest touch count of the Premier League season so far, with 13 touches in the opposition penalty area. He also matched his highest combined total of shots and chances created this season and completed five successful dribbles.

Arteta linked the player's development to his individual work during the last international break. Madueke had started only two of Arsenal's first seven matches of the season. Arteta said he wants more from the player in this period and that he is a good example for the rest of the squad. Even so, Arteta said the team could be more efficient and that they need to make better decisions in finishing positions.
