– man, Ødegaard was very angry with him, notes one Twitter user.

– I’ve never seen Odegaard so angry before. Another responds: He has developed a “we must win” mentality.

Hundreds of Arsenal fans around the world have commented on the incident on Twitter.

– Look how exasperated Ødegaard was at Lokonga’s lack of vigilance and at his poor gradations, someone comments.

– Ødegaard is the calmest, most supportive man you’ll have as a leader. But here he can’t hold back his anger at Lokonga, another Arsenal fan wrote on Twitter.

Arsenal played well in the first half, keeping City at bay, while creating plenty going forward. In the second half there was some setback. Ødegaard was, like many players from the presumptive eleven, benched for the cup match.

With a quarter of an hour remaining, Ødegaard entered. This time did not help. But he felt a little frustrated on the road.

City, who lost Haaland without goals, advanced to the fifth round with a 1-0 victory.
