'You can't miss that in a title race': Martin Odegaard's horror miss late-on against Aston Villa may be costly for the Gunners as they look to keep the pressure on Man City at the top of the table

Martin Odegaard missed a horror chance to give Arsenal the winner during their game against Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Gunners had fought their way back from going 2-1 down in the first half with the Norwegian setting up Oleksandr Zinchenko who leveled the scores at 2-2 for the London side.

In a must-win game to keep the pressure on Manchester City as the title race heats up, Odegaard found himself in acres of space on the edge of the box, but uncharacteristically, for a player who has been superb for Arsenal this season slid the ball wide of the uprights.
