Odegaard pulls off incredible skill

While he was on target away at the Amex Stadium, it was his amazing skill at one point of the clash that got fans talking.

The Norway international left three Brighton players chasing their tails with an amazing move.

Tariq Lamptey, Adam Lallana and Lewis Dunk were all in close attention for the ball, only for Odegaard to take them out of the game with a single move.

In a video doing rounds on social media, the Arsenal anchorman can be seen threading the ball between Dunk’s legs to set up the onrushing Martinelli, but the Brazilian was unable to convert.

Arsenal/Brighton: Fans slam VAR

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that a section of Premier League fans has expressed their displeasure, after VAR disallowed a Brighton goal to deny them a chance of staging a comeback.

The Seagulls and Arsenal played out a six-goal thriller on Saturday, December 31, at the Amex Stadium, with Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard playing starring roles.

Mitoma thought he had got Brighton right back into the game at 4-3, only for VAR to chalk off the goal. The decision taken sparked angry reactions from fans, with many suggesting the goal should have stood.
