And this goal saw the Arsenal captain overtake one of Frank Lampard‘s own records.

Lampard saw his best single-season return for open-play goals come in 2009-10 when he scored 12.

With the goal, the 24-year-old now has 13 goals from open play this season.

Reacting to news, fans online lavished praise on Odegaard.

One said: “I’ve said it before many people underrate him.

“He is the real deal @Arsenal.”

A second wrote: “Big baller idk how [Real] Madrid only sold him for 30[million].”
