“He had 109 touches, 6 key passes, and completed 4 dribbles against West Ham last night despite losing”- Arsenal Legend Robin Van Persie was quick to give fliers to £30M Arsenal star who was Arsenal’s best player last night and deserves better- Not Saka, Not Saliba and not Rice

In the recent football match between Arsenal and West Ham United, Arsenal’s midfielder stood out as the best player, despite their disappointing 2-0 defeat.

Even though Arsenal had their first loss at the Emirates Stadium this season, Odegaard’s performance shone brightly. He made an impressive 109 touches and completed 70 passes during the game. What stood out the most was his creation of six key opportunities for the Gunners, showcasing his pivotal role on the field.

Despite Arsenal having 30 attempts to score, they couldn’t find the back of the net. Odegaard made noteworthy crosses to Gabriel Jesus, but unfortunately, they weren’t converted into goals. The team missed five significant chances to score, with both Jesus and Bukayo Saka unable to find the target.

Looking ahead, Arsenal needs to bounce back in their upcoming match against Fulham on New Year’s Eve at Craven Cottage. Fulham has been performing well, scoring 13 times in the league this month, making it another challenging London derby.

The Gunners aim to return to their winning ways, striving to climb back to the top of the table. Their performance against Fulham will be crucial in putting pressure on Liverpool, who will be hosting Newcastle United on New Year’s Day. It’s a chance for Arsenal to learn from their recent experience and respond with a strong performance on the field.
