Arsenal winger Noni Madueke is urging the Premier League to credit him with the Gunners’ second goal against Leeds United after it was officially recorded as a Karl Darlow own goal.
Noni Madueke has sparked a scoring debate following Arsenal’s 2-0 victory at Elland Road, claiming his direct corner should be credited to his tally.
While the goal was officially ruled an own goal by Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow, Madueke insists the ball’s trajectory was goal-bound.
The winger’s performance was pivotal, having already assisted Martin Zubimendi’s opener during a dominant first-half display for the visitors.
The Arsenal star expressed his frustration in post-match interviews, calling for the Goal Accreditation Appeals Panel to review the incident.
Madueke told BBC Sport: “How can that be an own goal? It was going on target, if the keeper’s not in the goal then it goes in, so, I don’t understand how that’s an own goal. Premier League, please take a look at that and fix it for me.”
