EPL: We don’t care about other teams in title race – Odegaard

Martin Ødegaard has stated that he and his Arsenal teammates are solely focused on their own goals, with no concern for the other teams in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners missed an opportunity to close the gap on Liverpool after being held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage.

A win would have reduced Liverpool’s lead to just four points, but the match saw Arsenal drop to third place following Chelsea’s thrilling 4-3 comeback win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Commenting on the Fulham game, Ødegaard admitted it was a frustrating result for the team.

“We dominated most of the game,” the Norwegian skipper was quoted on Arsenal News Centra. “The first half wasn’t great. We were a bit sloppy and lacked energy and power. The second half was a lot better. It’s frustrating not to win. We were close in the end with the goal.

“They’re a good team. They know how to defend. A solid block. We didn’t do enough today. We have to learn from that and straight back in for the next one. We have to focus on ourselves. We don’t care about the other teams in the title race.”
