Odegaard wants Arsenal to be on guard in title race
Martin Odegaard challenged Arsenal to improve further after they moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The skipper’s second-half double sealed a 2-0 win at Wolves on Saturday to extend their lead over Manchester City.
City’s surprise 2-1 home defeat to Brentford allowed Arsenal to take control at the summit ahead of the World Cup break.
“We have to come back even stronger and better but at the moment, it’s looking good,” Odegaard told the club’s official website.
“It’s a good way to go into the break. We said before the game we wanted to finish strongly and we wanted to bring this good feeling into the break and we did that.
“We talked about it before the game and we talked about it at half-time – it’s difficult to play against these teams with five at the back. We had to stay patient. I think we did, and, in the end, we got the goals.”
