Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was visibly frustration during his team’s 1-1 draw against Brighton has sparked admiration among fans, who see his reaction as a testament to his winning mentality.
The 25-year-old endured a challenging match at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, missing a crucial opportunity to put his side ahead while also struggling with a knock that required multiple visits to the physio.
Odegaard, far from his best in the match, was substituted in the 74th minute for Gabriel Martinelli. As he left the field, the Norway international was visibly distraught, burying his head in his hands—a moment that quickly circulated on social media.
His disappointment was compounded by the controversial red card shown to Declan Rice, which allowed Brighton to equalise through Joao Pedro shortly after, forcing Arsenal to settle for a point.
