Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta gave a gleeful response when asked whether Martin Odegaard was better than Erling Haaland after the midfielder picked up Norway’s best player award.
The Gunners’ draw with Southampton on Sunday means the gap at the top has been cut to two points thanks to City ’s win over Brighton on Saturday. Haaland bagged a brace in the 3-1 victory to take his tally for the season up to 22 goals, 17 of which have come in the Premier League.
He is on course for the Golden Boot and the Player of the Year award after his phenomenal start. Both he and Odegaard will be resting during the World Cup after Norway failed to qualify for the finals.
