Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard insists he and his teammates aren’t paying attention to rivals in the Premier League title race, choosing instead to focus purely on their own performances.
The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage, a result that saw them miss the chance to cut Liverpool’s lead down to just four points.
Softfootball understands Arsenal slipped to third in the table after Chelsea’s dramatic comeback win over Tottenham later in the day.
Reflecting on the draw, Odegaard admitted the performance had plenty of positives despite the frustrating outcome. He said:
We dominated most of the game. The first half wasn’t great. We were a bit sloppy and lacked energy and power. The second half was a lot better. It’s frustrating not to win.
The Norwegian skipper praised Fulham’s defensive resilience while insisting Arsenal must quickly refocus. He added: “
They’re a good team. They know how to defend. A solid block. We have to learn from that and straight back in for the next one. We don’t care about the other teams in the title race.
