Odegaard later told arsenal.com: “Yes, it was a tough one.

“It’s really tough physically to play in this heat, and against a strong side, a physically strong team. It was a good challenge, but we got there in the end and we got the win. Two out of two now, so we're happy.

“In the first half we played some really good football. They scored on probably the only chance they had, after that we played good football, we controlled the game.

“The second half was a bit too open, but we managed to get the win. Some really good performances again. Max coming on, making the difference. There are a lot of positive things to take with us.”
