Arsenal captain, Martin Odegaard gave out his jersey to a young and emotional Gunner fan after their premier league Match-Day 20 match, Softfootball reports.
The North London team beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Vitality Stadium in a keenly contested match. The home side went in front courtesy a goal from Brazilian Evanilson after he capitalised on an error from Gabriel Magalhães to put the Cherries ahead.
However, Gabriel got the equalizer from a rebound before Declean Rice scored twice in the second half to give the visitor a 3-1 lead but substitute Junior Kroupi ensured for a nervy finish to the game as he powered home a shot from 25yards as the match ended 3-2.
Here is the video as posted by Arsenal’s official X handle of the heartfelt moment when Martin Odegaard gave the match-day jersey to the young fan and his dad was obviously delighted as he thanked the player as he walked away to join the rest of his teammates. Watch video below.

— Arsenal (@Arsenal) January 3, 2026Odegaard turned 27 this month and winning the premier league as captain for Arsenal would be a dream as the last time the Gunners won the title was way back in 2004 under manager Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal are currently top of the premier league with 48 points after 20 matches so far this season. The Gunners return to action on Thursday, January 8 when they host reigning premier league champions Liverpool at the Emirates for the Match-Day 21.
