Arsenal maintained their grip on the Premier League title race with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Wolves, secured by two late own goals after a frustrating performance at the Emirates Stadium.
The win was overshadowed by claims from Eberechi Eze, who revealed he was left upset by comments made by captain Martin Ødegaard as he was substituted in the second half. Eze admitted he was wasteful in the first half but said the words from Ødegaard crossed the line from constructive criticism into something personal, leaving him disappointed in the club captain.
The incident reportedly occurred as Mikel Arteta prepared the substitution, with cameras later showing Eze visibly frustrated on the bench. Arteta downplayed the situation after the match, insisting emotions run high during games and that the matter would be handled internally.
Ødegaard declined to address the specifics, stressing unity and describing Arsenal as a family where teammates push each other to improve.
The revelation has divided opinion among fans, with some questioning Ødegaard’s leadership and others defending his approach as tough but necessary. As Arsenal head into a demanding run of fixtures, the episode highlights the pressure and internal competition within a squad chasing the league title
