Forget Rice: Arteta will tear up at 9/10 Arsenal maelstrom who singlehandedly killed PSV



Pundits and commentators alike will be mentally dissecting Arsenal’s ludicrous 7-1 hammering of PSV in the Champions League for years to come.

You could forgive the casual observer for wondering how on earth the Gunners managed to score seven goals whilst their forward line was largely decimated by injuries.

For the record, Mikel Arteta’s men were missing Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli as they took on the reigning Eredivisie champions.

Absolutely no problem for Arsenal who, with a significant helping hand from Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, absolutely blew their opposition away in enemy territory.

It was a great team performance from the visitors, but it would be remiss of analysts not to single out skipper Odegaard for his world-class display on Tuesday night.

The Norway international more than earned his 9.2/10 rating from Sofascore, as he glided across the pitch, providing one assist and scoring twice in Arsenal’s seven-goal mauling of PSV.

The classy midfielder also picked up:
