Arsenal captain Odegaard scores landmark goal from midfield

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard's strike against Newcastle United was his 15th of the season.

The Norway international scored a low effort from long-range to give his side the lead in an eventual 2-0 win.

Odegaard's feat meant that he has now reached 15 league goals this term, joining Gabriel Martinelli on that list.

"Martin Odegaard always has so much time," former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"The best players in the world make time stand still on the football pitch and slow things down. It's such an art."

Arsenal are still second in the Premier League and will need leaders Manchester City to slip up before the season concludes.
