Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has cleared the air over his second goal against Bournemouth, where he appeared to snatch the ball from teammate Gabriel Jesus.
Captain Odegaard scored twice for the Gunners inside the opening 15 minutes on Saturday, setting Mikel Arteta's side on their way to a comfortable 3-0 victory. William Saliba rounded off the scoring, and Jesus thought he'd added a fourth only for the goal to be ruled out for offside following a VAR check.
Arsenal's number nine had looked ready to pounce after Ben White's low ball into the box, but was left waiting to add to the two goals he scored last weekend against Leicester City. However, Odegaard shut down any efforts anyone might have made to turn it into a bigger issue than it was.
