National media praises Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard after top display v Sporting

Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Champions League as they stunned Sporting Lisbon 5-0 at Estadio Jose Alvalade.

The Gunners dominated proceedings from the start and found themselves ahead with seven minutes on the clock.

Gabriel Martinelli tapped home the opener before Kai Havertz extended Arsenal’s advantage with a close-range finish after 22 minutes.

The Premier League giants were 3-0 ahead by the break, with Gabriel Magalhaes heading home another at the stroke of half-time.

Sporting pulled one back early in the second-half, but Bukayo Saka restored the visitors’ big lead by converting his spot-kick.

Mikel Arteta’s men were at their destructive best on Tuesday night, but Martin Odegaard looked to be the most impressive of all.
