“I swear on my life, he’s going to be guy to make the difference for Arsenal against Bayern Munich next week”- Arsenal Legend Ian Wright predicts 25 years old Gunners star is going to help Arteta beat Bayern Munich after a moment of pure magic from the player against Luton Town on Wednesday night.

Ian Wright, a beloved figure at Arsenal, expressed sheer delight as Martin Odegaard scored a graceful goal against Luton Town during Wednesday’s Premier League match. Under the strategic direction of manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal made significant tactical changes by fielding five new players in the starting lineup, offering a break to regulars like Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Jakub Kiwior.
Although Arsenal initially struggled with their offensive precision, their persistence paid off when Odegaard broke the deadlock in the 24th minute. Emile Smith Rowe played a crucial role by skillfully stealing the ball from Luton’s Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu and setting up Odegaard for the goal, showcasing excellent teamwork with Kai Havertz.
During halftime, Wright expressed his elation, describing Odegaard’s goal as “remarkable,” particularly given the challenging trajectory of the ball. Speaking to Premier League productions, Wright praised Arsenal’s proactive approach, noting that Odegaard’s goal was a result of their relentless pressure, which ultimately paid off with a superbly timed finish.
Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Luton Town, with Smith Rowe’s incisive pass leading to Daiki Hashioka’s own goal, further asserting Arsenal’s dominance. While Smith Rowe was named the man of the match for his significant contributions, Odegaard’s performance against Luton was also commendable.
The Norwegian midfielder showcased his skill by orchestrating 77 touches and completing 58 out of 65 passes with finesse. He created two key chances and delivered precise long balls throughout the game. Odegaard’s season tally now stands at an impressive 17 goal involvements, with 13 occurring in top-flight competitions.
Notably, Odegaard’s contributions have surged since February, accounting for 41 percent of his total goal involvements. Arsenal fans fervently hope that their captain continues to lead by example, inspiring the team to greater achievements.
