'Title race on' - how Odegaard & Saka are keeping Arsenal hopes alive

Many Premier League champions feature double acts - essential attacking supply lines which feed the title charge.

If Arsenal are to challenge for the title this season, it will be down to their own deadly duo - Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.

5-2 win at West Ham, during which Arsenal were irresistible for a 25-minute spell in a manic first half, showed what they are capable of when both men are on song.

Most telling was when Saka and Odegaard combined to set up the killer second goal, shortly after West Ham thought they had equalised only for Crysencio Summerville's chipped finish to be chalked off for offside.
