Softfootball understands that the Gunners delivered a commanding performance, controlling proceedings from start to finish, with Norgaard at the heart of midfield.The Denmark international anchored the side effectively, dictating tempo and shielding the defence with composure.
Norgaard, signed from Brentford F.C. in July 2025 for an initial £10 million fee potentially rising by £2 million in add-ons has steadily grown into a key figure at the Emirates. Fans were quick to draw comparisons with elite midfield controllers such as Martín Zubimendi, praising his positional awareness and distribution.
Arsenal’s investment appears to be paying dividends as they continue their pursuit of silverware and squad quality.
