Arsenal star was back to his best on international duty | OneFootball

Norway started their Nations League campaign against Kazakhstan on Friday night.

Martin Odegaard played the full 90 minutes for Norway at the Ortalyq stadıon. He conjured up some impressive statistics despite the game ending in a goalless draw.

The Arsenal captain had 106 touches with a passing accuracy of 89 percent. He won 14 duels, completed eight take-ons and registered four key passes.

The 25-year-old also drew five fouls from the opposition and made two interceptions. It was a wonderful individual display for Odegaard, which should please Arsenal.

The midfielder has not been at his sparkling best during the early part of the season. He squandered big scoring chances against Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Odegaard picked up knocks to his knee and ankle in the first half against Brighton, but he looked in good shape for Norway last night as they shared the spoils on the road.

Norway’s next Nations League game is at home to Austria on Monday night. Odegaard is expected to play the full 90 minutes.

Hopefully, he can deliver a goal or an assist before returning to London. The Gunners visit Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on September 15.

Odegaard has scored twice in the north London derby and ended up on the winning side on five occasions.

Arsenal will be aiming to beat Spurs at their stadium for the third straight season.
