Odegaard calls on Arsenal to move on after Fleetwood upset
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard says the team must bounce back quickly after losing to fourth-tier Fleetwood on penalties in the League Cup.
Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard addressed the team's loss to fourth-tier Fleetwood in the League Cup, insisting they must move on quickly following their shocking 5-3 penalty shootout defeat. The Premier League champions were held to a 1-1 draw before Odegaard replaced his manager Mikel Arteta in the second half. Fleetwood scored the winning penalty to eliminate Arsenal, despite Victor Gyokeres and Aaron Loupalo-Bi's efforts to equalize.
Odegaard acknowledged the team's subpar performance, stating they need significant improvement to bounce back. The young defender also faced a red card for a reckless challenge on Harrison Neal, though Arsenal may appeal the decision. Odegaard emphasized the importance of not feeling sorry for themselves and focusing on Sunday's crucial match against Liverpool, where the Gunners are tied with Premier League leaders Manchester City on points.
