Arsenal are passing every test - and Odegaard is in form of his life
Another Arsenal win, another Martin Odegaard goal - the Gunners captain looks back to his best, writes Phil McNulty.
Arsenal have returned to form under manager Mikel Arteta, with Martin Odegaard leading the charge. Last season, Odegaard was hindered by injuries and underwhelming performances, missing 36 games in all competitions and scoring just one goal. However, the Norwegian sensation has since transformed his game, scoring crucial goals for both Arsenal and his country, Norway.
In the Champions League opener against Napoli, Odegaard delivered a stunning left-foot strike to secure a 1-0 victory, and has continued to impress ever since. Former Premier League defender Nedum Onuoha praised Odegaard's ability to take Arsenal to another level when he is at his best, and the manager himself has acknowledged Odegaard's growing impact on the team.
With strong form like this, Arsenal has the potential to achieve even greater success in the upcoming season, including a potential Champions League title win.
