What Martin Odegaard did after win vs Aston Villa as Arsenal take advantage of Man City slip up

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard made one young fan's day following a late 4-2 win against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners came from behind twice to eventually take all three points against Unai Emery's side.

An early goal from Ollie Watkins was quickly nullified by Bukayo Saka's fierce strike in the first half. Philippe Coutinho put the hosts 2-1 ahead just before half-time before Oleksandr Zinchenko's strike from distance pulled Arsenal back level on the hour mark.

It was a chaotic final six minutes on injury time as Jorginho saw his effort come back off the crossbar, only for the ball to deflect into the back of the net off of former Gunners goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentina World Cup winner looked to redeem himself as he went forward for a last-minute Villa corner, only for Arsenal to counter-attack through Fabio Vieira with Gabriel Martinelli being sent through on goal to pass the ball into an empty net and secure all three points.
