Odegaard: Arsenal Not Clinical In Front Of Goal Against West Ham

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has attributed the Gunners loss against West Ham to poor finishing in Thursday’s Premier League game.

Recall that West Ham won 2-0 thanks to goals from Tomas Soucek and former Gunners defender Dino Mavropanos.

However, in a chat with the Club’s official website, Odegaard warned the team not to dwell on defeat at home to West Ham.

Odegaard said: “It’s one of those nights. We had a lot of chances and did enough to score some goals, but in the box we were not good enough. We take the good things and learn from the things we didn’t do well.

“We created enough and had some big chances. We’re together as a team. Its not about some players [not scoring]. We have to improve in front of the goal and it’s down to the whole team to do that.

“I guess it was a close call [whether the ball was in play or out for the first goal]. Hopefully they have made the right call there. Still after that we had enough chances to win the game.”
