'We practised that a lot': Martin Odegaard admits Thomas Partey's wonder-strike in the North London Derby against Tottenham came straight from the training ground

Martin Odegaard has revealed that Thomas Partey's jaw-dropping goal for Arsenal that broke the deadlock during their 3-1 win over Tottenham on Saturday was planned on the training ground.

The Ghana international put the Gunners ahead inside twenty minutes at the Emirates Stadium, arriving on the edge of the box to curl in a stunning 25-yard strike that Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris had no chance of reaching.

But after the match, the Arsenal skipper told arsenal.com that the move that led to Partey's goal had been heavily choreographed in training.
