Martin Odegaard proved why he's club captain after the midfielder was spotted consoling Bukayo Saka during Arsenal's clash against West Ham. The Gunners launched out of the blocks at the London Stadium and quickly notched a healthy lead, with goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard.
Mikel Arteta's side quickly lost their foothold on the tie after Said Benrahma tucked away a penalty just before the break. Then, shortly into the second-half, the north Londoners were granted the chance to reclaim their two-goal advantage after Michail Antonio was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the box.
Bukayo Saka was trusted with the responsibility of converting from 12-yards but, with the weight of the club's title hopes on his shoulders, the forward missed the target. The Hale End graduate's head dropped in despair but Odegaard was the first on the scene to console him.
