Martin Odegaard underlined his leadership credentials by jumping to the defence of his Arsenal team-mates during their friendly win vs AC Milan.
The Premier League leaders are ramping up their preparations for the return of club football with a string of high-profile matches in the Dubai Super Cup. Having already thrashed Lyon 3-0 last weekend, the Gunners took on the Italian champions on Tuesday afternoon.
And they ran out victorious as first-half goals from Odegaard and Reiss Nelson helped them to a 2-1 win. But while Mikel Arteta will be pleased with the result, the overzealous approach from their opponents won’t have gone down well.
