Arsenal claimed bragging rights in North London on Sunday evening, beating rivals Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
Early substitute Erik Lamela fired Spurs in front, pulling off a ridiculous rabona goal to light up the game and leave Tottenham dreaming of a double against the Gunners this season.
However, Kieran Tierney’s charging run set up Martin Odegaard for an equaliser, and Arsenal managed to snatch all three points in the second half.
Davinson Sanchez was penalised for a challenge on Alexandre Lacazette, and the Frenchman stepped up to score from the spot to give Arsenal the win.
There were a number of important performances for Arsenal in their 2-1 win, and playmaker Odegaard turned in another fine display.
The 22-year-old opened his Arsenal account with a howitzer against Olympiacos on Thursday night, and added to his tally with another goal on Sunday.
On loan from Real Madrid, Odegaard has come in for huge praise having not only provided quality but also work rate and pressing in the final third.
Fans have been taking to Twitter to laud Odegaard, suggesting that he ran rings around Tottenham ace Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in a ’10/10′ performance.
Others branded Odegaard ‘world class’ and ‘the real deal’, seemingly hoping that the Norwegian ends up staying beyond the end of his loan deal.
