Odegaard was the star of the show in the win against Brighton.
Arsenal are doing wonders this season and Paul Merson was fully delighted after another win on Sunday. He has heaped praise on Martin Odegaard after his superb performance for Arsenal.
The Norway international was the star man as Arsenal beat Brighton to continue their domination at the top spot. The skipper provided one assist and scored a goal as well.
Martin Odegaard made arguably the best pass of the season to Gabriel Martinelli to score his goal in the 4-2 victory.
After the game, Merson said via The Daily Mail:
‘When you talk about people seeing pictures, Martin Odegaard knows what he is doing before this ball comes he knows what he’s doing and Martinelli knows what he is doing and he’s away. He is running with pace full pelt with the ball.
‘That is Ronnie O’Sullivan in football, he’s looking at the pots and that is what Martin Odegaard. A lot of people don’t see that pass, he is probably the only player on the pitch who sees that.
‘Kevin de Bruyne sees it, Odegaard sees it but I don’t think any other player in the Premier League sees it open up.’
Odegaard was the star of the show in the win against Brighton and he deserves all the praise he is getting now from pundits and fans.
