Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard insists they're not worried about Manchester City.

A resurgent Manchester United had arrived in north London hoping to assert their own championship credentials, but defeat leaves Erik ten Hag's men 11 points off the top, having played a game more than Arsenal, with the title race now appearing between the leaders and defending champions City, who must still meet twice.

Asked whether that brought additional pressure, Odegaard said: No, honestly, we don't care about City or any other team.

We expected them to win [against Wolves], so that was not a big surprise, and we just focused on our game, to win and that's what we did. The way we won this game gives us a special feeling that will help as well."

Marcus Rashford continued his fine form with a stunning opener for the visitors but, as has been a theme at the Emirates this season, Arsenal came roaring back, with Edde Nketiah's header levelling before the break and then Bukayo Saka's terrific low strike edging Mikel Arteta's men ahead.

I think the fans as well did an amazing job again," Odegaard said. We went 1-0 down and they just started to applaud and cheer, helped us to get back into the game.

It says a lot about the fans and also the mentality in the team to keep going and keep trying and believing until the last minute."
