Martin Odegaard admits Arsenal 'were not at the level' they needed to be against Everton and claims the Gunners were 'afraid to lose the win' as they slipped to last-minute defeat

Martin Odegaard insisted that Arsenal only had themselves to blame for the 2-1 defeat to Everton on Monday night as he claimed they 'were not at the level they needed to be'.

The Gunners led through the 22-year-old at the end of the first-half but conceded twice as the Toffees secured their first win since September.

Mikel Arteta's side wilted as Richarlison levelled in the second-half before Demarai Gray's screamer in the 92nd minute snatched all three points for the Blues.
