What Pep Guardiola told Man City stars about Martin Odegaard before Arsenal Premier League clash

Arsenal lost further ground in the Premier League title race on Wednesday night as they lost 3-1 against reigning champions Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners fell behind early on before Bukayo Saka equalised from the penalty spot.

Goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland saw Pep Guardiola's side replace the north Londoners are the top of the table due to their superior goal difference. An error from Takehiro Tomiyasu in the 24th minute allowed Kevin De Bruyne to open the scoring with a brilliant lobbed finish past Aaron Ramsdale.

Mikel Arteta remained positive after the match and admitted he has more belief that his players can go on to win the title despite the devastating defeat. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard failed to have a big impact on the game but fans did notice the Norwegian playmaker sharing a brief exchange with his international teammate Haaland at half-time.
