Arsenal played out a fascinating battle against Manchester City on Sunday (September 21), with both sides settling for a share of the spoils.
Gabriel Martinelli’s 93rd-minute equaliser from the bench cancelled out Erling Haaland’s opener as Arsenal secured a 1-1 draw against Man City after dominating most of the match.
Roy Keane blasted Arsenal for their lack of creativity, and supporters were annoyed that Eberechi Eze was dropped to the bench against Man City, replacing Mikel Merino at half-time.
Madueke has been ‘incredible’ for Arsenal, and during the first half against City, he was arguably Arteta’s best player on the pitch.
While Bukayo Saka returned from his injury against Man City after coming from the bench, their delight at that substitute was dampened by Madueke’s injury.

Man City were there for the taking at the Emirates, but unfortunately, starting with the handbrake on ultimately cost the Gunners three points.
