Martin Odegaard was superb

Odegaard was one of the best players on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium and was superb for Arsenal.

While the likes of Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka have been hogging the headlines, we must also praise Odegaard for his effort

The 22-year-old was a creative force for Arsenal and was pulling the strings.

The former Madrid star was very decisive in the final third and worked extremely hard to keep Mikel Arteta’s side on the front foot.

Odegaard played three key passes, had a pass accuracy of 88%, took 64 touches, made one tackle and one interception, and put in three crosses.

For Arsenal to have a successful season, Odegaard will have to be on top of his game.
