Noni Madueke has said Arsenal fans ‘have every right to be’ excited about where the club’s season is heading.
Arsenal eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic at the Emirates on Sunday.
The Gunners made light work of the League One strugglers, with all four goals coming inside the opening 27 minutes. Madueke scored the opening goal of the blitz, with Gabriel Martinelli, a Jack Hunt own goal, and Gabriel Jesus completing the rout.
Arsenal’s win ensures the North Londoners remain in contention for all four trophies this season, with Mikel Arteta’s team also top of the Premier League, into the Carabao Cup final, and safely into the Champions League’s last 16.
Madueke was pleased with a professional performance from Arsenal against Wigan and believes there’s reason to be excited about what’s to come.
Speaking to TNT Sports, he said: “Very pleased. We were very professional and had the right intent. Four goals and a clean sheet. Like you said, it can be tricky if you don’t apply yourselves properly, but that wasn’t the case with us today so we are really happy.
“I thank god for the goal and the win. That is my job – to try and help the team. When we win it is much better than when we draw like the other day.”
Asked whether Arsenal fans should get excited about the run-in, he added: “I think they have every right to be. We are working hard to try and deliver the type of ought to be with our performances right now. That is our main focus and I think it is exciting – but we need to carry on doing the right things every single day.”
