Noni Madueke was the hero of the day for Arsenal, scoring the only goal of the match ten minutes before time. The 22-year-old winger came into the field at the start of the second half and made a few good passes before scoring the decisive goal. According to The Standard, Madueke "was much more direct in his actions and created the turning point by shooting - which was still changed in direction - against the posts. A crucial moment for him."
Madueke received a yellow card immediately after coming into the field, but he quickly settled into the game and looked more threatening than Ebere Eze. The Standard described Eze's performance as "pathetic" and gave him a score of 3, stating that he lacked intensity in everything he did and continued to make basic mistakes on the ball.
VoetbalPrimeur reports that Jurriën Timber also had a strong game for Arsenal, coming on after 66 minutes and reaching a milestone of 100 games for the club. The Standard praised Timber's performance, giving him a score of 7 and stating that he had "virtually immediate impact" by making a good run down the right flank and passing the ball perfectly to Rice.
