Arsenal captain Odegaard: I try to lead by example

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard says he's enjoying his leadership role.

Though he wasn't on the scoresheet, Odegaard was named man of the match in their 4-1 thrashing by Newcastle.

Odegaard told ViaPlay afterwards: "We are living the dream. We want to be on the biggest stage in the best league in the world.

"We want to fight for trophies, and that is what we are doing.

"I try to lead by example. I try to do the right things, always have a good 'mindset' and push those around me. Doing what is best for the team is the most important thing."
