Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has revealed the reason for his recent goalscoring form, having scored his fifth and sixth goals in the Premier League this season against Wolves on Saturday. The Norwegian's brace was the difference between the two sides, earning the Gunners all three points.
It meant that the North Londoners go into the World Cup break top of the Premier League, building a gap on second-placed Manchester City to five points. While the form has been key in the early stages, manager Mikel Arteta has claimed that the mid-season break may halt the momentum.
"When a team is in that moment, you want to carry on playing, of course, but that's not possible. We have to use that time as best as possible. Those not participating in the World Cup they will have some time off, which they fully deserve, and the rest can just fulfil a dream that every kid has to have the chance to represent their team in a national cup. It doesn't get better than that."
