Martin Odegaard showed Arsenal exactly what they've been missing with talismanic display in 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest
Daily MailAs the well-worn saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Having spent two months in stuttering form as Martin Odegaard recovered from an ankle injury, the sight of their talismanic captain in top gear on Saturday was a very welcome one indeed for the Gunners. The Norwegian’s passing, dribbling and pressing are crucial to Mikel Arteta’s blueprint, which was brought into even sharper focus as Arsenal won just three of seven Premier League matches in his absence. Martin Odegaard put in a man of the match display as Arsenal returned to winning ways The sight of their talismanic captain in top gear on Saturday was a very welcome one While Saka opened the scoring with a fine strike and set up Thomas Partey’s second, it was Odegaard’s man-of-the-match display which took the plaudits. His clever, intricate passes around the box ripped Nottingham Forest apart and his subtle, off-the-ball run created the space for Partey’s long-range strike.
