      Odegaard misses OPEN GOAL on second Arsenal debut… as fans joke they hope Gunners kept receipt after £30m transfer

      by

      MARTIN ODEGAARD fluffed an open-goal on his second Arsenal debut in tonight’s 6-0 Carabao Cup thrashing of West Brom.And the miss prompted Gunners fans to joke that the club should have kept a receipt for the £30million man.

      Odegaard, 22, rejoined Arsenal last week from Real Madrid, having spent the first half of 2021 on loan at the Emirates.
      The Norwegian playmaker was unable to make his first appearance as a permanent player in the 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.
      And Odegaard was instead thrust into Wednesday’s starting XI for the second-round win at West Brom.
      Arsenal started well as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired them ahead after recovering from coronavirus.
      But Odegaard could have the Gunners 2-0 up at the Hawthorns after taking advantage of a Baggies mistake at the back.
      Odegaard found himself in front of goal with the ball at his feet after a defensive mix-up.

      But instead of playing a square ball across the box which would have absolutely guaranteed a successful strike, Odegaard instead decided to try his own luck.
      However, despite not being at a tight angle, the midfielder was unable to direct his shot into the back of the net, instead feebly hitting the side netting.
      And Arsenal supporters were quick to deride the effort from their new man.
      One quipped: “How am I going to tell my kids Odegaard missed from there?”
      Another said: “We spent £30million on Odegaard who’s just there for vibes.”
      One noted: “Ain’t no way Odegaard is being right now, my guy you played for Real Madrid.”
      Another tweeted: “Odegaard can’t be the same guy that played pro ball with Ronaldo at 15, he just can’t be.”
      One added: “Quick, get the receipt, this Odegaard guy is sus.”
      Odegaard’s miss was soon forgotten though when Aubameyang grabbed his second of the night before half-time.

      And there were still seconds left for Nicolas Pepe to make it 3-0 ahead of the interval.
      Odegaard then bagged a sublime assist in the second half as Bukayo Saka hit the target.
      And Aubameyang netted his third hat-trick in a Gunners shirt with 30 minutes still on the clock before Alexandre Lacazette made it 6-0 with the final goal of the game.

      Mikel Arteta could name a strong Arsenal XI for the Carabao Cup second round tie, according to reports.
      According to The Times, Arteta will take no chances in his selection when the Gunners travel to Championship West Brom.
      It is claimed the Emirates hierarchy have shown understanding towards their boss, who has seen five of his players sidelined with coronavirus.

      Among them were forwards Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, who did come off the bench in the 2-0 loss to Chelsea.
      Lacazette will now be back in contention to play in the cup tie, and so too will the returning Martin Odegaard, who arrived in January on loan.
      And he has recently made his move from Real Madrid permanent for £30million but missing paperwork saw him ruled out against Chelsea.
      Arsenal also announced the signing of £30m keeper Aaron Ramsdale, and the England international could be set to make his debut. More

      Chelsea flop Kepa blames Wembley fans and apologises for amazing bust-up with Sarri in Carabao Cup final in 2019

      by

      KEPA ARRIZABALGA has blamed fans at Wembley for his astonishing Carabao Cup bust-up with Maurizio Sarri – and apologised for refusing to come off.The Spanish goalkeeper, 26, incredibly stayed on in the 2019 League Cup final, despite his manager calling for him to be substituted.
      Kepa Arrizabalaga has lifted the lid on his sensational bust-up in the 2019 Carabao Cup finalCredit: Reuters
      Willy Caballero was ready to come on during extra-time after Arrizabalaga stayed down apparently injured.
      But when the board went up, the club-record £71.6million signing shouted towards Sarri and assistant Gianfranco Zola on the touchline, insisting he was fine to carry on between the sticks.
      Team-mates even begged him to go off but Arrizabalaga stood his ground while Sarri momentarily stormed down the tunnel.
      Kepa continued as Chelsea lost to Manchester City in the penalty shootout – and now he has shared his recollections of that eventful afternoon at Wembley.
      He told The Players’ Tribune: “It was all a big misunderstanding.
      “Manchester City were dominating the game in extra-time and there was barely any time left until penalties.
      “After making a save, I felt something in my leg and I called for the physio to make sure it was nothing. Above all, though, I wanted to make sure that we as a team could catch our breath.
      “Suddenly, I saw that the coach, Maurizio Sarri, had sent Willy Caballero to warm up. He thought I couldn’t go on.
      “My intention, right or wrong, had only been to waste time to help the team. I didn’t have any serious problem that was going to keep me from continuing to play.
      “I tried to signal that I was okay, that I wasn’t injured. But we were at Wembley in front of more than 80,000 people, so of course Sarri didn’t understand me.

      “When the fourth official raised the board, clearly I should have come off, and I’m sorry I didn’t.
      “I was wrong, and I am sorry for everyone who was involved: for Maurizio Sarri, who it seemed like I had undermined in public, for Willy, a team-mate and a great professional, and for all my team-mates and Chelsea fans who had to put up with everything — all the noise that was generated during the game and then in the days after.”
      The situation was cleared up inside Chelsea pretty quickly.
      But Arrizabalga – now behind Edouard Mendy in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge – was vilified for his stubbornness, with many insisting he should have respected the manager’s decision.
      He added: “Inside the club, it was no big deal. I had a chat with the boss, we talked about how we had each seen the situation, and we cleared the air.
      “After that, I got dropped for one game, but a week later I was back in the team.
      “I remember playing a great game against Fulham, and that was it. A couple of months later we knocked Frankfurt out of the Europa League semi-finals and I saved two penalties in the shootout.
      “Internally, everything was fine again. But outside the club, it got out of control.
      “When I picked up my phone in the dressing room after the League Cup final, I realised that I had become worldwide news.
      “For the next three or four days it didn’t stop. It was overwhelming. And clearly, most people who saw the pictures thought that I had disrespected Maurizio.

      “I felt misunderstood because it had never been my intention to snub the coach. I had only tried to tell him I was okay. I tried to explain this to the press, but I couldn’t.
      “Luckily, now it is just an anecdote from the past. I still have a fantastic relationship with Maurizio.
      “And next time, in a similar situation, I will know what to do. But it is an example that not everything is what it seems from the outside.”
