Define 'from midfield' though
Only Xhaka and Ødegaard have scored in the League this season amongst our midfielders.
Saka is a midfielder. When he played LWB did that count as defence or midfield? Also, what do wingers count as? I just don't think modern formations are simple enough to compare. Technically we play 4-5-1 meaning pepe, saka and sometimes auba could count.
Wingers count as forwards.
The only midfielders to have scored goals for us in the League are the two I mentioned.
If you want to amp up the stat based on technicality, Lacazette has scored when he played as a false 9. Auba might as well qualify as a LAM.
If that brings you solace, so be it.
We can count Martinelli, Lacazette, Auba, and Pepe as midfielders. Would defo show how we're overperforming. Willian too, I guess.
