Former Blackburn Rovers attacker Morten Gamst Pedersen was delighted for Martin Odegaard after his winner for Arsenal at Burnley.

Odegaard became the first Norwegian to score from a free-kick since Gamst Pedersen.

"It was insanely fun to watch. It was a nice goal, which also brings back good memories for my own part," Gamst Pedersen told VG.

"The scores are the same, but mine was probably a little further up the angle.

"He has looked good, and he is incredibly important for Norwegian football. Now we have many who play in the world's best league. In the past, we have had many talents who may not have been able to take the last step, so now we really see who has it in them."
