Arsenal news: The Gunners were off to a quick start against Newcastle through Martin Odegaard's long-range strike
A huge challenge for the Gunners is a trip to St. James' Park as they face a Newcastle side that put their top-four hopes to rest last season. The Magpies have been in form this year, transforming themselves into a top-four team themselves under Eddie Howe and a host of new signings.
Many fans went onto social media to compare the two after Odegaard's strike with their reaction:
@mistaremi: "My Captain."
@kobiwaynejr: "Martin Odegaard deserves every praise he’s getting. He’s better than any version of De Bruyne."
@pal_bijit: "Arsenal have got a gem of a player in their hands, Martin Odegaard can go on to achieve big things. Very reminiscent of Kevin De Bruyne."
@teqfnbr1: "Is odegaard the second best midfielder in the prem behind Kevin de bruyne?"
@WillianSaliba: "He is single-handedly keeping us in this title charge."
