Madueke subbed in first half as PSV Eindhoven thump Groningen

The young Super Eagles hopeful struggled to assert himself, but his side claimed a convincing win in the Dutch top flight regardless

Nigeria prospect Chukwunonso Madueke, commonly referred to as Noni, featured for 45 minutes as PSV Eindhoven claimed a 5-2 win over Groningen in an Eredivisie match played at Philips Stadium on Saturday.

The 19-year-old struggled for consistency in the first half and at the start of the second, coach Roger Schmidt opted to replace him with Yorbe Vertessen.

It took the hosts just seven minutes to make an impact when Cody Gakpo's individual brilliance saw him swirl around several players before unleashing a good strike that found the back of the net via the upright.
