Mikel Arteta praised Martin Odegaard's influence after Arsenal's 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest on Saturday ended their five-game winless run. Goals from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri reignited Arsenal's title challenge.
Saka opened the scoring in the 15th minute, exchanging passes with Odegaard before striking into the top corner.
Partey doubled the lead early in the second half, and Nwaneri sealed the win in the 86th minute. Arteta highlighted the team's strong start and Odegaard's impact, noting the team "flows in a different way" with him playing. Arsenal's win lifts them to 22 points, level with Chelsea in third place.
Arteta also commended Nwaneri's bravery and potential for the future.
