Last season Arsenal got off to a terrible start, losing their first three Premier League games, but now everything is ready for the team to stand up with nine points from as many as possible.

Just over four minutes later, he easily scored a six-meter rebound after superb preparation by Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli. Six minutes later he used the same left foot to put the ball in the top corner to the right of Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers.

Bukayo Saka and Ben White then did the preparatory work before Jesus hit the ball and Odegaard curled into the net from 11 metres.

It is the first time that Ødegaard has scored two goals in the same match since October 19, 2014, When he was 15 years old and played for Strømsgodset against Lillestrøm:

After the two goals, Arsenal completely controlled the match, and goalkeeper William Saliba hit 3-0 after the break.

Ødegaard thought he had sent it 4-0 to Jesus in the 72nd minute, but it was called off for good offside. Three minutes later, Ødegaard was substituted for Emile Smith-Rowe.

Ødegaard was also excellent in this first half. A great footballer who paid tribute to Sky Sports expert Jimmy Redknapp during the break.
