"Man of the match performance! Even without any G/A," one fan tweeted.
While another Twitter user added: "Exposed [Declan] Rice and Soucek so many times with quick and clever balls down the middle. Then changes and dragged in the full-back, then played in [Calum] Chambers. MoM, in my opinion."
Odegaard was on another planet though - Arsenal should definitely make it a permanent deal.

A third posted: "Technical security! Need more of that at Arsenal."
And a fourth fan added: "His reverse passes are a thing of beauty."
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta praised Odegaard by saying that the Madrid loanee is "now giving us a different level on certain things that we didn't have."
Speaking after the 3-3 draw, the 38-year-old Spaniard told Arsenal's official website: "I think he had an incredible performance, he was very intelligent the way he read the game, the way he affected the game and again he showed how much he wants to win.
"When everyone was a little bit trembling, he gave us that composure on the ball and he created chance after chance.
"I love talented and creative players that all the time are willing to take that ball and make things happen, that are mobile and also hard-working. He is one of them.
"We have some others with different qualities but it's true that Martin is now giving us a different level on certain things that we didn't have."
