Writer Shamanth Jayaram argues that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hinted at recently punishing winger Noni Madueke following poor performances earlier in the season.

Jayaram suggests that Arteta's comments likely refer to Arsenal's 3-0 loss to Brighton, where 16-year-old Max Dowman was substituted on ahead of Madueke. Madueke subsequently responded positively during the international break, earning his place back in Arteta's starting lineup.
