Known for humorous football commentary across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, X and YouTube, Young Noble Commentary shared a screenshot of an artificial intelligence response highlighting Mikel’s only goal in the Premier League.

According to the information shared, the goal came during the 2013–14 season when Chelsea defeated Fulham 2–0 at Stamford Bridge.

Mikel Obi only Premier League goal came from a CORNER KICK.
Some observers believe the post may be a subtle response to recent comments made by Mikel regarding Arsenal.
In recent discussions about the 2025/26 season, Mikel suggested that Arsenal rely heavily on set pieces. According to his remarks, when watching Arsenal play, the team appears to depend significantly on corner kicks as a major attacking strategy.
The viral post has therefore raised questions about whether the content was meant as humor, a reminder of an unusual statistic, or a lighthearted response to Mikel’s recent criticism of Arsenal’s tactical approach.
Regardless of the intention, the post has successfully reignited conversation among football fans about one of the most unusual goal records in Premier League history
