Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was happy with his side after a 1-0 win away at Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.

The Gunners had to fight for the group stage points, with a Bukayo Saka goal enough to ensure they got the result they wanted.

Arteta was asked after the match by reporters whether captain Martin Odegaard asked him to start the match.

Post-game, Arteta stated: “Well, verbally he didn't ask me to play. But the way he was preparing the last few days for sure, he wanted to come here and play. It's the contribution of everybody.

“So a lot of players, Reiss [Nelson] for example - he hasn't played for three and a half months. The way he was trying to go with it. Every single player, the ones that they came from the bench - performing better or worse, attitude level (and) willingness to win…top."
