It has been a tiring autumn and winter for Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard, who has been injured and has noticed a slightly weakened capacity afterwards.
You have to go all the way back to April 20 and the game against Wolverhampton the last time Ødegaard scored a goal, since there has only been one goal on penalties. Arsenal will probably have to settle for second place in the Premier League against surprise side Nottingham Forest. League leader Liverpool are too superior and far away.
Ødegaard scored in injury time in the 3 – 0 win at Emirates Stadium against Dinamo Zagreb. It is Arsenal’s fifth win in the group stage.
After just over a minute, Declan Rice got off to a flying start for the London side. He scored the first goal of the game after a nice cushion from Kai Havertz. The rest of the first half was a tame affair, with the biggest tension being related to goalscorer Rice’s corner kick. He was peppered with plastic cups from the away corner.
Arsenal secured the lead after just over an hour of play. Havertz, who facilitated the first goal of the evening, had the honor of heading in 2-0
In overtime, Martin Ødegaard poked in 3-0.
The win puts Arsenal in a comfortable position going into the final game of league play. They are in third place, only behind Barcelona and Liverpool, before the final game where Arsenal face Spanish side Girona
