Martin Odegaard has urged his Arsenal teammates to ‘stick together’ after the Gunners’ Champions League hopes took a brutal blow against Crystal Palace on Monday evening. Aiming to reclaim fourth in the table from north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Mikel Arteta’s men were blown away at Selhurst Park.
Goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Jordan Ayew and Wilfried Zaha sealed an emphatic victory for the Eagles - a result that hugely damages the Gunners’ top four hopes. They now sit fifth in the current standings on goal difference - albeit with a game in-hand.
However, Odegaard has appealed to his side to not let the embarrassment at Selhurst Park take their focus on their long-term targets for the remainder of the season and has called on them to bounce back sooner rather than later.
