Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard after scoring two in 3-1 win over Chelsea: We have to fight and keep going - We believe and will fight until the end


Arsenal eased past sorry Chelsea to leapfrog Manchester City back into top spot in the Premier League 

Captain Martin Odegaard scored twice as the lively Gunners keep their title bid alive and return to the summit above Pep Guardiola's City.

Gabriel Jesus grabbed the Gunners third in a one-sided first half prior to Noni Madueke pulling a goal back.

Arsenal captain Odegaard tells Sky Sports:"Especially the first half was brilliant. We came out and showed a different spirit to last time [the 4-1 loss to Manchester City].

"I'm very happy with the first half, the second was a bit messy but three points and a good win and we needed this one.

"Everyone was so hurt after the game [against City]. We used the anger and the disappointment to get back into this game. You can lose games but the way we lost, we didn't play our game and weren't ourselves, that was the most painful thing, and we wanted to show a different side and we definitely did.

"I just try to help the team. This year I've scored more goals, Granit with two good passes and that made it easier. I just tried to be in the right area and as soon as I see him attacking the space I just have to be in the right place.

"In the second half we didn't keep the ball ernough. They went a bit more direct and after the duels we didn't keep the ball.

"We have to fight and keep going. We believe and will fight until the end."
