Odegaard scores Arsenal's 'tastiest goal this season' after stunning team move

The Gunners had been hoping to get out of the blocks quickly following their stunning Champions League victory over Lens midweek and Mikel Arteta's side didn't disappoint.

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead after six minutes, however it was Odegaard's goal just seven minutes later that really got fans talking.

The Norwegian midfielder was on hand to finish off a wonderful team move that saw Oleksandr Zinchenko play a one-two with Gabriel Jesus before playing it to Odegaard, who swept home from inside the penalty area.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Gunners legend Ray Parlour said: "The link-up was absolutely brilliant.

"The touch from Jesus, the ball from Zinchenko was on the button and it was a great finish from Odegaard - the goalkeeper had no chance.

Another Arsenal fan said: "The free flow by Zinchenko to Odegaard. We're back to the Wenger days."
