Keown: 'You surprised me most' as Madueke helps Arsenal win title

Arsenal clinched Premier League title with 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, with Noni Madueke scoring the decisive goal after Gabriel Jesus opened scoring. Martin Keown commended Madueke for 'incredible' performance, telling him: 'You surprised me most' after the match. The 24-year-old silenced critics who expressed discontent when Arsenal signed him from Chelsea last summer. Ferdinand previously defended Madueke against Arsenal supporters' 'vulgar' conduct. Madueke expressed gratitude for winning league and earning England World Cup call-up: 'This is a dream come true.' Keown acknowledged fans' initial doubts but praised Madueke's impact: 'You've done an incredible job. You're now going to a World Cup, you've won the Premier League.'
