In a dramatic match on Sunday at the Emirates, Arsenal stunned Manchester United with a pair of late goals.
Declan Rice and Gabriel both scored goals as the Gunners triumphed 3-1.
When Marcus Rashford beat Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with a right-footed shot in the 27th minute, United had taken the lead.
However, Arsenal quickly equalized as captain Odegaard fired a powerful shot into the bottom corner, keeping the score even going into halftime.
The Gunners thought they had gotten a penalty in the second-half to take the lead but it was over-turned by the VAR after referee Anthony Taylor originally ruled Havertz had been fouled.
Another glorious opportunity then fell to Bukayo Saka but the England international shot straight at keeper Andre Onana.
The drama then switched to the other end as substitute Alejandro Garnacho broke free to score with three minutes left, only for a close VAR offside call denied him his moment.
With United celebrations cut short, Arsenal produced two devastating blows in eight added minutes.
Rice’s deflected shot gave Arsenal the lead before substitute Gabriel Jesus raced clear to wrap up the win, sparking wild celebrations among the home fans.
The result moved Arsenal to fifth place, while United fell to 11th in the early standings.
