“He’s going to be the guy to make the difference for Arsenal against Bayern Munich next week, I swear on my life,” said an Arsenal legend. Ian Wright believes the 25-year-old Gunners star will assist Arteta in defeating Bayern Munich following a moment of pure magic from the player on Wednesday night against Luton Town.
The great Ian Wright of Arsenal tweeted his happiness after Martin Odegaard opened the score on Wednesday night in the Premier League match against Luton Town.
In order to give players like Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Jakub Kiwior a break, Gunners manager Mikel Arteta made five changes to the starting lineup against the Hatters.
In the 24th minute, Odegaard broke the deadlock for the club, who had not had much of a cutting edge in the first half of the match.
Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, the midfielder, was brilliantly forced to give up possession by Emile Smith Rowe, who then skillfully passed the ball to Odegaard.
After a one-two with Kai Havertz, the team captain scored a low goal into the lower left corner of the net.
At the half, Wright was ecstatic about the situation. The ball crossed his path, and he declared that it was a “really good” finish.
“Luton were doing okay to keep themselves in the game but this is what Arsenal should have been doing anyway – putting them under pressure,” he said to Premier League productions. Coming across him was a really nice way to wrap things off. To help them relax, they required that objective.”
The final score of the match was 2-0 in favor of the Gunners. Smith Rowe contributed by making a pass that set up Daiki Hashioka’s own goal.
Although Smith Rowe’s contributions earned him the title of man of the match, Odegaard outperformed him against the Hatters.
The Norwegian sensation completed 58 of his 65 passes, totaling 77 touches. He completed his long balls and set up two crucial opportunities.
This season, Odegaard has contributed 17 goals, 13 of which have come in the top division.
Since February, 41% of his goal involvements have occurred. The captain’s ability to set a good example will be greatly appreciated by the supporters.
