Captain Ødegaard's first goal of the season helped Arsenal secure their third consecutive Premier League victory.

In Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Brighton in the Premier League, captain Martin Ødegaard not only scored his first goal of the season but also demonstrated the team's spirit with a tenacious win.

With this victory, Arsenal have secured their third consecutive win in the Premier League. Early in the game, Ødegaard received a brilliant pass from Bukayo Saka in his signature attacking area and fired a precise low shot into the opponent's goal.

After scoring his long-awaited first goal of the season, Ødegaard was deeply moved. He revealed, "I've been waiting for this goal and have been working very hard to improve my finishing ability."

“I like to be in that area, and Bukayo and I know each other very well; he always finds me in that position. There was just the right angle in the corner of the goal, so it was a great goal.”

"It feels amazing. Like I said, we've worked so hard to score, and now we've finally done it, so we're very happy."

Beyond their attacking highlights, Arsenal's self-sacrificing spirit in defense was equally remarkable. Due to tactical adjustments, midfielder Declan Rice was deployed to right-back for the first time in his career. Facing this unfamiliar defensive role, Rice demonstrated the adaptability and defensive intensity of a top player.

Ødegaard praised the new full-back's performance, believing that Rice's appointment in a crisis was a microcosm of the team's current cohesion. He pointed out that Rice's performance on the defensive line was incredible, and this dedication to the team, willing to do anything for them, was the key to Arsenal's victory.
