Former Norway coach Nils Johan Semb hailed the performance of Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard at West Ham on Sunday.

Odegaard was outstanding as Arsenal fought back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 at London stadium.

Semb said on TV2: "It bodes well for the three international matches that the two biggest aces in Ståle Solbakken's squad, Martin Ødegaard and Erling Braut Haaland, are on fire. That could mean a lot of points in the first round."

Fellow pundit Øyvind Alsaker also said of the performance: "It is he who swings the baton in that Arsenal team. He is always playable, always safe with the ball, and what I like very much, which Norway will need, is that he seeks the complicated.

"When he is in shape he very often looks for the exciting solutions."
