Arteta lauds in-form Odegaard as ‘remarkable’ Arsenal edge Napoli
Martin Odegaard's sensational start to the season includes four goals in five games and winners against Chelsea and Napoli.
Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard for his match-winning goal in Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Napoli in the Champions League. Odegaard, who has been in remarkable form recently, scored a 75th-minute bullet strike to secure the win for the Gunners. Arteta noted that Odegaard's increased productivity is a positive change from last season, when he scored just once in 36 appearances due to injuries.
He emphasized that Odegaard's new mindset and relationships around him have elevated his performance, making him a dangerous player in the attacking phase. Arteta also highlighted Arsenal's strong start to the season, winning all three Premier League games so far. He felt the scoreline undervalued the quality of his team's display in Naples, recognizing their aggressive attacking style and numerous chances generated.
The victory marked a significant improvement for Arsenal, who previously struggled against Napoli in previous encounters. For Napoli, the defeat marked another setback for new coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has lost three consecutive games in all competitions.
