Arsenal inflicted a crushing 6-0 on West Ham on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League, and Martin Odegaard, the Gunners playmaker, created seven chances in the game to become the leader in this statistic in Europe.

During the London derby on the program for the 24th day of the Premier League on Sunday, Arsenal left West Ham no chance, winning with a decisive score of 6-0 in the den of the Hammers. Buyako Saka scored twice, central defenders William Saliba and Gabriel scored from a corner and Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice also scored from Alphonse Areola.

Martin Odegaard was the decisive passer on two Gunners goals and the Norwegian playmaker created seven chances in the game in total. If he is not the best passer in PL (he has five assists, Ollie Watkins and Kieran Trippier have double that number), the former Real Madrid player is the first player to exceed the mark of 50 chances created in the game in the major European championships this season. Outstanding.

Before this weekend, Leverkusen crack Florian Wirtz led this ranking of chance creators ahead of other Premier League players, Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Dejan Kulusevski (Tottenham) and Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), as well as Leroy Sané (Bayern) or Ilkay Gündogan (Barça).
