Arsenal once again strolled to a Premier League victory as they hammered lowly Burnley to continue their fine run of form.

As usual, the key players such as Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice came to the party and Burnley were simply nowhere near the level of the Gunners.

The Gunners are looking irresistible at the moment and with Liverpool winning earlier in the day and Man City to come against Chelsea in the evening, it was vital Arsenal took three points.

They did just that, with Bukayo Saka finding his form in front of goal.

However, it was the performance of Martin Odegaard in the midfield that got former Gunner Ian Wright salivating. Taking to social media, Wright lauded the performance of Odegaard, who himself had two assists within the first 50 minutes.

Martin Odegaard is running Arsenal right now

Martin Odegaard is one of the best midfielders in Europe right now and his performance levels at Arsenal in recent months have been brilliantly high.

The £30m Norwegian seems to be taking things to another level and at the moment, Arsenal look unstoppable with him and Declan Rice driving things from midfield.

Yes, Saka got the plaudits with some goals today but Odegaard played his part as well by finding the net and then helping set others up as well.

With Arsenal going along as they are now and simply dismantling teams on a weekly basis, you have to wonder just who is going to slip up in the title race.

Right now, the Gunners are simply relentless and whoever does end up beating them to the title will have had to seriously earn it.
