Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour has faulted Noni Madueke for not doing enough defensively in the build-up to Leeds United’s goal against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Arsenal recovered from an early setback to secure a 2-1 victory over Leeds at Emirates Stadium over the weekend. James Justin scored for the visitors before the Gunners turned the match around.
Quick facts

- Ray Parlour said Noni Madueke did not adequately follow his runner.
- Parlour expects Madueke to be unhappy after reviewing the incident.
Speaking in the Premier League Productions studio, Parlour said Madueke needed to make a greater contribution when Arsenal were without possession.
“Madueke has to do better in that situation,” Parlour said. “I played on the flanks at times, and you need to track runners too. However much you enjoy attacking, you also have to work properly for the side.
“When he watches it back, he will be disappointed by what he sees.”
