I miss you like Arsenal missed Odegaard.That should definitely be the line for you in cases when you feel like missing someone crucial in your life. Because with and without him/her it’s just not the same.Odegaard is a football genius.— Sash ~ (@ltarsenal) November 10, 2024 Dozens and dozens of tweets of Arsenal fans on Sunday night were addressed to the Norwegian midfielder, whose return to the pitch is so significant for the Gunners. The proof of it was seen at Stamford Bridge, in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, as Martin Odegaard shone in the London derby.His attitude on the pitch, accurate passes, vision of the game, and leadership he kept showing were embellished with the spectacular assist for Gabriel Martinelli’s second-half opener.The returning captain produced one of the passes of the match to find the Brazilian inside the box. Martinelli did his best to nail it from a very tight angle, but what a pass that was, too! Odegaard singlehandedly unlocked Chelsea’s defence with a gorgeous ball to the far post, and it’s no wonder Arsenal fans chanted his name at the stadium.Alas, that was just not enough for Mikel Arteta’s side to celebrate a much-needed victory, as Pedro Neto equalized shortly after with a powerful, low shot from mid-range. However, he was allowed a lot of free space in the dangerous area. Leaving such a player unmarked was a decisive defensive mistake, and the Blues’ midfielder had no problem with making the most of it.Earth to Thomas https://t.co/sXeELdpskj pic.twitter.com/loOpnDZpwD— Footalyse (@footalyse) November 10, 2024 Both teams pushed then for the winner, but Trossard and Havertz – whose first-half opener was rightfully disallowed due to offside – couldn’t find the back of the net. Caicedo, on the other end, did score, though, but once again, the VAR review voided it.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 11SaturdayBrentford – Bournemouth 3-2 (1-1)/Wissa 27, 58, Damsgaard 50 – Evanilson 17, Kluivert 49/Crystal Palace – Fulham 0-2 (0-1)/Smith Rowe 45+2, Wilson 83/West Ham – Everton 0-0Wolverhampton – Southampton 2-0 (1-0)/Sarrabia 2, Cunha 51/Brighton – Man.City 2-1 (0-1)/Joao Pedro 78, O’Riley 83 – Haaland 23/Liverpool – Aston Villa 2-0 (1-0)/Nunez 20, Salah 84/SundayManchester United – Leicester 3-0 (2-0)/Bruno 17, Kristiansen 38 og, Garnacho 82/Nottingham Forest – Newcastle 1-3 (1-0)/Murillo 21 – Isak 54, Joelinton 72, Barnes 83/Tottenham – Ipswich 1-2 (0-2)/Bentancur 69 – Szmodics 31, Delap 43/Chelsea – Arsenal 1-1 (0-0)/Martinelli 60 – Neto 70/
