A stat that has its place on The Useless Web.
Noni Madueke actively participated in the river success of England in Serbia this Tuesday evening (0-5), by scoring the second goal of Three Lionshis very first in selection. But the one who recently passed from Chelsea to Arsenal surely did not suspect the type of news that was going to emerge towards him on social networks. Used to swing us ultra -sophisticated figures, Opta has shown a little humor by sending an improbable stat.

The British company specializing in data has indeed noted that Noni Madueke is the first scorer of the English selection since Paul Gascoigne (and his last goal in selection in 1997 against Moldova) to have the five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) of the English language in its whole name! A fact of the most useless, but which has the merit of making everyone laugh.
When is the first English player with five vowels to win a major title? (Do not look in the 1966 workforce, we checked.)
