Martin Odegaard has proven Gary Neville following Arsenal's 3-1 win over Chelsea. The 24-year-old midfielder reignited his side's Premier League title hopes with two excellent strikes just days after he was criticised by the former Manchester United defender.
With Odegaard's help, the Gunners leapfrogged Manchester City and secured a two-point lead at the top of the table. While the reigning champions have two games in hand, the title race is far from over and the Norway international certainly led by example against the Blues.
Last month, Neville questioned the leadership qualities of Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Thomas Partey – who are all regarded as senior figures at the club. The 48-year-old admitted that the trio are admirable professionals, but doubted their ability to lift the performances of their inexperienced teammates such as Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
