Arsenal winger Noni Madueke was jeered by Wolves fans after a past Instagram gaffe, yet his recent form suggests the boos may not hinder performance. Betting outcome: punters could back Arsenal to win and consider Madueke as an anytime scorer or a wager on Arsenal +1.5 goals given his confidence and attacking role.
Madueke Booed at Wolves After Old Instagram Gaffe
Noni Madueke, the 23-year-old Arsenal winger, endured boos from the Molineux crowd during the Premier League clash with Wolves. The reaction stems from a previous social media slip, but recent performances indicate the jeers may not dent his contribution to Arsenal’s attack.
The Instagram Incident That Sparked Hostility
Before a prior fixture at Wolves, Madueke posted an Instagram story stating “Everything about this place is s***” and later claimed he had used the wrong account. The comment angered Wolves supporters, who have targeted the winger each time he returns to Molineux.
Past Response and Form
When the incident occurred while Madueke was at Chelsea, the taunts had little effect: he responded with a hat-trick in a 6-2 win. Since his summer move to Arsenal for around £50m from PSV Eindhoven, Madueke has started well, gradually winning over supporters who were cautious about the high-profile transfer.
Tactical Role and Team Selection
Madueke had been a regular starter in the run-up to the Wolves fixture, partly due to Bukayo Saka’s temporary absence. With Saka back in the side, he shifted to a more central No.10 role while Madueke resumed duties on the right flank. Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the versatility within the squad, saying: “That’s something that’s a possibility… We might use it in the future.”
Betting Implications
The hostile reception at Wolves is unlikely to be decisive for betting markets given Madueke’s ability to perform under pressure. Punters may consider backing Arsenal to win and targeting Madueke as an anytime scorer, or placing markets that combine an Arsenal win with over 1.5 Arsenal goals.
