Martin Odegaard nets winner as league leaders Arsenal extend unbeaten run

The Gunners were frustrated for most of the encounter but skipper Odegaard popped up to score the winner with 18 minutes remaining to extend his team's lead at the top of the standings to six points.

It was also a fifth consecutive league win for Arsenal since their 3-0 defeat by Brighton in September - still the only time they have dropped points so far this season.

The home side went close through Declan Rice's first-half header, saved by visiting goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis, while Noni Madueke also went close from a tight angle.

Mikel Arteta's team also had a penalty shout turned down in the first period after Kai Havertz's shirt was pulled in the box.

The decision was not given on the field although the Video Assistant Referee told referee Farai Hallam to look at the pitchside monitor.

Hallam then informed the crowd Havertz had been fouled, but no penalty would be awarded as the forward had been in an offside position.
