Alan Smith has said on Twitter that Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard was superb against West Ham United this afternoon.

The former Arsenal striker, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Odegaard, signed on loan from Real Madrid in the January transfer window, was superb for the Gunners in their 3-3 draw with West Ham at London Stadium.

Smith has also said that Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette had his best game for the Gunners, and believes that Calum Chambers was superb as well.

French striker Lacazette scored the third goal for the Gunners in the 82nd minute, as Mikel Arteta’s side came from 3-0 down to draw 3-3.

Odegaard has been superb for Arsenal in recent games, and the 22-year-old Norway international did well against West Ham in the London derby.

The Madrid-owned youngster did not have the best of times in the first half, but he stepped up his game in the second period, played some lovely passes and linked up well with his fellow attacking players.

According to WhoScored, Odegaard took three shots and one was on target, played four key passes, had a pass accuracy of 93.4%, took 95 touches, attempted four dribbles, and put in nine crosses.
