And then in the 11th minute of injury time, Brazil international forward Jesus made it 3-1 to Arsenal.
Jesus did not start the match.
The former Manchester City striker replaced Eddie Nketiah in the 76th minute.
It was Fabio Vieira who provided a wonderful ball to Jesus.
The striker got through on goal and then had the composure to get the ball past United goalkeeper Andre Onana.
And Odegaard was impressed.
Odegaard said on the drama-filled late stages: “It was mad.
“I don’t know what happened but Gabi [Jesus] did so well in the end and scored a great goal and we got the win.”
