Five Premier League players who impressed during the midweek games
The Premier League brought a midweek schedule this week and delivered some brilliant games, including a five-star performance from Arsenal against Chelsea and an Everton upset in the Merseyside Derby.
Following the midweek action, we’ve picked out five players who impressed.
Martin Odegaard – Arsenal
Arsenal turned up the heat on Manchester City with a stunning performance to thrash Chelsea this week, as the Gunners thrashed their London rivals 5-0 at the Emirates.
Kai Havertz haunted his former side with a brace and Ben White was also on target twice, though it was Martin Odegaard who ran the show in north London.
When in this mood, few players in the Premier League come close to the Arsenal captain, whose passing at times was exquisite. Odegaard’s assist for Havertz was one of the passes of the entire season, while he added another assist for White.
The assist. The finish

Odegaard ended the game with eight ground duels won, eight key passes and two big chances created, while his work rate out of possession sets an example for others to follow. No player in Europe’s top five leagues has created more open-play chances than the Norwegian this season, who is entering the genuinely elite bracket.
