£30m Arsenal player told he did something ‘phenomenal’ against Nottingham Forest

Arsenal cruised to a victory over Nottingham Forest as they breathed new life into their title push after a miserable few weeks.

The Gunners put three ♏past Forest to ensure they give Man City something to think going into their game with Tottenham.

Goals from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and Ethan Nwaneri late on made sure of a fine win, much to the delight of Mikel Arteta.

Of course, Arsenal’s upturn in form has coincided with the return of Martin Odegaard. ♓The Norwegian produced a masterclass in midfield performance against Forest and crucial🦩ly, played a massive role in the opening goal for Bukayo Saka.

And discussing the goal, ꦓBBC pundit Pat Nevin lauded Odegaard for his impact🍎 in the goal.

Martin Odegaard praised for his assist v Nottingham Forest

Speaking about the opening 𒁏Arsenal♏ goal from Saka, pundit Nevin lauded the finish and in particular, called out Martin Odegaard for the assist.

“Two international class players linking-up and working together. The sneak ball in from Martin Odegaard was phenomenal, him and Bukayo Saka were never out 🅘of the play,” Nevin comme♈nted.

“Saka goes across the box and it looked as if he went too far, but he comes back across himself ꩵand what a finish. You’re going to enjoy that on Match of the Day to💛night!”

Odegaard has to stay fit for Arsenal to have any title hopes

While Manchester City seem to be able to cope with the loss of key players, Arsenal don’t quite have that depth to play w🔥ith and Odegaard’s return is vital.

Ho🌄wever, it’s not just his immediate return but the fact he now needs to remain fit for Arsenal to h🎶ave any chance at all of winning a trophy.

For Odegaa༺rd, he’s not just the best midfielder at the club but also Arsenal’s leader, who the rest of the players look to for inspiration.

His assist for Saka today was a prime example of his class 🎉and quality and over the season, his availability is going to be crucial.
