Ethan Nwaneri is Arsenal's 17-year-old prodigious academy prospect - he will learn from the best, too, after Odegaard puts an end to the brief Big Sam tribute act
Ethan Nwaneri is Arsenal's 17-year-old prodigious academy prospect - he will learn from the best, too, after Odegaard puts an end to the brief Big Sam tribute act. On Saturday, their starting line-up was missing five regular starters: Ben White will be out “for months” after undergoing knee surgery, while Declan Rice, Thomas Partey, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli were all named on the bench, for reasons both fitness and tactical. They coped just fine.
Arsenal’s first goal was brilliantly worked. It featured two moments of individual inspiration from both goal scorer and goal creator.combined poise with power, tiptoeing his way past three in sky blue before lashing an emphatic drive into the roof of the net. Odegaard set him on his way with a clever flick of his left boot.
Odegaard played a key role in the third goal too, finding Saka out wide before sprinting into the box and dragging Ryan Yates with him. When Thomas Partey received Saka’s square pass he had ample time to take a touch and pick his spot beyond Sels’ reach, benefiting from the space that Odegaard had created for him.
