Watch: Arsenal get straight back level thanks to our club captain

Martin Odegaard has put Arsenal back level after his deflected effort beat Bernd Leno moments after falling behind to Fulham.

The Gunners will be relieved to be back on terms having been so dominant since the kick off, and nobody will be happier than Gabriel Magalhaes who had been at fault in allowing our London rivals to get on the scoresheet.

Bukayo Saka’s forward run was integral to our strike, breaking into the final third before laying off our club captain, whose neat footwork allowed him the space to get his shot away, although a mean deflection saw it go into the opposite end of the goal to the one he had aimed.

There is still around 20 minutes to play, which should be plenty if we can continue to dominate proceedings, and it will be interesting to see if the boss brings on Marquinhos who was promoted from the Under-21 side to make today’s bench.

  1. Well, some of you wanted to see Arsenal come from behind to win a match, before you accept something is cooking, now you have it. Another 3point on to the next one.

  2. I didn’t watch the match but followed it online and I am very proud of them boys. Keep flying high boys

  3. Am proud of the team, the way they respond each time an opponent score is promising. We could have scored more to end the game earlier,but a win is a win.

  4. Still look suspect at the back don’t care what anyone says when we play the big boys they will exploit this weakness just look at the chaos fulham caused yes we got the win but not convinced by our defending let’s see what happens when we play top teams!

    1. Which chaos did Fulham cause yesterday at Mark, they were all defending throughout the only on target they got was the error from Gabriel that lead to goal before they had the confidence of making two more on target….. We dominated the game throughout…… We were unlucky not to score early in the first half( Saka chance) and we were far ahead of them and also the better team in the match…..

  5. @Mark If you’re looking for a perfect game, you won’t get one. Every team struggles at times, what is most important is the resort and the desire to do better.

    The so called big teams to, concede goals tell me anyone of them who hasn’t this season.

    What is most important, is the fighting spirit and the winning mentality to get the maximum points.

  6. I thought it was more of an issue with Xhaka who made some bad passes during the match, and Elneny, who did not seem to get a grip in midfield.

    However, It was a team performance that won us the match in the end.

    I must say that I thought this was Odegaard’s best game for the club!!!

    I think he needs his own song!!

    I thought of the song Edelweiss, changing Edelweiss to Odegaard. It scans nicely!

  7. Another 6points from Villa and Man U already. No stopping this team now. Though, we will drop points against Mancity. However, the boyz can proof me wrong.
