'A pleasure to be part of' rampant Arsenal - Odegaard

Watching Arsenal play in recent seasons is a pleasure for football-loving fans but without doubt the Gunners' recent performances have been their best in recent years. 

The Gunners, who have become the first team in Premier League history to score five or more goals in three successive away games, claimed another emphatic 6-0 win over Sheffield United in the domestic championship. 

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, speaking to 'Sky Sports', praised the work of his team-mates and the team's form.  "We know it is a tough place to come. We have been really good and controlled the game. We knew what their game was like and when we had the ball we were in a good mood and created a lot – a solid and nice performance.

"We wanted to keep the momentum going and wanted to start strong. Places like this can be tricky if you don’t start well and we didn’t stop from there. I think it's unbelievable the work we do without the ball. We won 6-0 and recently we have won a lot, but the work we do without the ball from the front to the goalkeeper is really good and it is a pleasure to be a part of," he added.

The Norwegian international was also keen to stress the importance of the winter break, which has undoubtedly been a turning point in the Gunners' fortunes. "We needed a break, to be honest. We were in a tough moment before. We were tired and we needed a restart," he said.

"We worked on some details and had some time off and came back strong. We just need to keep it up as the end of the season is when it matters. Every game is crucial. The top is a good fight and every game is important," concluded the playmaker.
