The Gunners were 3-0 down in the first half but managed to come away with a creditable 3-3 draw against the Hammers. The Norwegian played the full 90 minutes and impressed many onlookers with his work-rate and pinpoint passing, attributes that had many in Madrid surprised when Zinedine Zidane was so reluctant to use him.

“He has done brilliant,” the English defender began after Odegaard had been voted Man of the Match. “He is a great lad if you speak to him. I get on well with him. He feels at home here. He feels good.

“He’s doing well in training. He works incredibly hard - in training and games. I think everyone is really pleased and I hope he continues the form he’s on.”

Later Chambers replied to the Norwegian’s Instagram post with a single descriptive word: “Wizard!”
