Odegaard on Wolves win: 'We have to come back even stronger and better'

"It’s a good way to go into the break," explained Martin Odegaard in his post-match interview with club media.

"We said before the game we wanted to finish strongly and we wanted to bring this good feeling into the break and we did that.

"We talked about it before the game and we talked about it at half-time – it’s difficult to play against these teams with five at the back. We had to stay patient. I think we did, and, in the end, we got the goals."

The Arsenal captain continued: "It was a tough one, we had to dig deep. The first half was a bit slow – we were struggling on the ball to create chances really.

"They defended well and we know they’re always dangerous on the counter, so it was a difficult game.

"Then we changed a few things. We sped up the game a little bit in the second half and we know we have quality, so we’re always going to create something, but we did good to get the win."

Arsenal defeated Wolves 2-0 to go into the World Cup break on a strong note. The Gunners are clear five points at the top of the Premier League table, leaving the rest behind.
