Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has revealed that he does not talk "too much" to Manchester City striker and fellow Norwegian Erling Haaland about the Premier League title race, while admitting that the former Borussia Dortmund ace is "smashing it" this season.
After drawing 1-1 at home to Everton, Pep Guardiola's side have lost ground in their bid to overtake league leaders Arsenal since the start of the New Year. Haaland yet again found the back of the net as City took the lead against the Toffees, but a wonder-strike from Demarai Gray saw the visitors snatch a point.
It was a bitter blow in their pursuit to claw ground back against Arsenal, only made worse when the Gunners went on to beat Brighton 4-2 later that evening. The recent results mean that City find themselves seven points adrift of Mikel Arteta's side and only two points clear of Newcastle in third place - albeit with a game in hand on the Magpies.
