Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has lavished praise on Martin Odegaard once again.

The captain was at his very best, especially in the second half, as the Gunners romped to a 3-1 win over West Ham United.

Needing to come back from a goal down, Arteta stated that Odegaard's quality and leadership were key to his team's revival.

He stated post-game, “Top performance.

“You will look at everything he did with the ball, but what he did without the ball as well - chapeau!"

Asked if Odegaard showed leadership, he added: “Absolutely. The way he guided the team in many moments.

“The way he had the presence in the way we played today. He had a real impact in that."
