‘We gave them the game they wanted…we gave them hope’: Martin Odegaard denounces Arsenal for doing ‘a lot of STUPID things’ after throwing away another two-goal lead in West Ham draw

Martin Odegaard has slammed his Arsenal teammates for giving away a two-goal lead against West Ham United on Sunday.
This comes just a week after The Gunners dropped points against Liverpool at Anfield despite leading by two goals.
Gabriel Jesus and Odegaard gave Mikel Arteta’s side a two-goal lead against the Hammers on Sunday before Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen saw the Irons come back and grab a point.
Mikhail Antonio missed a late chance that could have seen Arsenal go empty-handed, with Odegaard now criticizing his teammates for the performance.
He told Sky Sports after the game: “Last week there were a lot of the same things, we started well but then we stopped and let them play to their qualities.

Odegaard admitted that they ‘then gave the game they wanted’ after the disappointing draw
“We gave them the game they wanted, we gave them hope, and that’s up to us. We must now look ahead.
“Besides, we started doing a lot of stupid things with the ball, we let them play long balls.
“We must remember that we are still on top with everything in our own hands.
“Now we have to have the same mindset, the same mindset to make sure we win the next one.”
The Gunners take on Southampton on Friday as they look to get back to winning ways before meeting Manchester City mid-week in what could be a title decider.
Arteta will hope his side have learned from their collapses in the past two games as the Premier League title race has gathered pace in recent weeks.
