Arsenal fans react to Martin Odegaard’s display vs Benfica

A section of Arsenal fans on Twitter were impressed with the performance of Martin Odegaard during the club’s Europa League clash against Benfica last night.

The north London side drew 1-1 in the first leg of the round of 32 at the Stadio Olimpico but they will be bitterly disappointed after squandering clear-cut chances on goal.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who bagged his maiden Premier League hat-trick last weekend, had a poor showing as he squandered two gilt-edged scoring opportunities.

The club went behind in the 55th minute after Benfica were handed a rather fortuitous penalty for an Emile Smith Rowe hand ball which was converted by Pizzi.
