The German scored his first goal for the Gunners since his summer transfer from Chelsea.
Footage has shown that Gabriel Jesus was the one originally due to take the spot kick, but Odegaard spoke to the Brazilian international and convinced him pass the opportunity on to his new team-mate.
Havertz will hope it is the start of a run of form for him in front of goal, but what a great act from Gunners skipper Odegaard and fair play to Jesus for giving up the chance of adding another goal to his tally.
