Bukayo Saka usually takes Arsenal’s spot kicks but he handed the ball to Odegaard, the captain.Arsenal is keeping pace with likely title rival Manchester City, the defending champion, by earning back-to-back wins. The first — 2-1 at home to Nottingham Forest — didn’t come easy, either.“We know Man City are the best team in the world at the minute and they are tough to stop,” Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice sai...
