'It’s a long season': Odegaard sends important message to Arsenal teammates

“It’s a long season,” said Martin Odegaard after Arsenal's 3-2 win over Man United.

“We’re just halfway through, there are many games to be played so we have to stay calm and humble.

“Our only focus is the next game and that’s all that matters. We have to stay focused.”

The numbers are as impressive as the statement victories. Mikel Arteta’s side are now five points clear of second-placed City with a game in hand.

They’ve now scored in 18 of their last 19 Premier League games. In the absence of the injured Gabriel Jesus, no fewer than four players have stepped up to continue scoring goals.
