Just in 🚨:“97 touches, 77 passes, 3 big chances created, 4 tackles and 6 duels won, he was everywhere last night and the best player on the pitch and is getting back to his best”- Man United Legend Ian Wright praises Arsenal’s ‘engine room’ player who was simply amazing and deserves Man of the Match award last night – Not Declan Rice, not Havertz and not Saliba

In a thrilling exhibition of skill and teamwork, Arsenal’s captain, Martin Odegaard, displayed peak performance during their recent 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday. This win marked Arsenal’s third consecutive league triumph, with the Emirates Stadium witnessing a standout performance.

The game commenced with an early lead as Bukayo Saka scored in the sixth minute. The momentum continued to build, and in the 13th minute, Odegaard contributed to doubling the lead with a magnificent demonstration of coordinated team play.

Despite numerous opportunities in the final third, Arsenal faced a tense finish as Matheus Cunha scored for Wolves just four minutes from time. A defensive mishap from Oleksandr Zinchenko created an opening for the opposition, injecting tension into the closing moments. However, the Gunners managed to secure a well-deserved victory over Gary O’Neil’s side.

Undoubtedly, the standout performer of the match was Martin Odegaard, delivering one of his stellar performances of the season. While he faced inconsistency earlier in the campaign, Odegaard seems to be hitting his stride at a crucial juncture in Arsenal’s title pursuit.

During the Wolves clash, Odegaard dominated the pitch with 97 touches and 77 passes, showcasing an impressive accuracy of 89 percent. Focusing primarily on the offensive end, he shone in his attacking role, creating six key passes and three big chances for teammates Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, and Eddie Nketiah. Despite these opportunities, Arsenal failed to widen the goal margin.

Although the Gunners should have comfortably secured a more substantial lead, potentially with a five-goal margin, they were compelled to endure a hard-fought battle for victory, especially after Cunha’s late consolation goal. Nevertheless, this triumph over Wolves has extended Arsenal’s lead at the summit of the table to a commanding four points, with the club’s supporters reveling in the team’s impressive form and the promising resurgence of Martin Odegaard.
