Martin Odegaard sends message to Liverpool and Man City after Arsenal thrash West Ham
Martin Odegaard has urged his Arsenal side to focus on their own games after a stunning 6-0 victory over West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners' biggest away win in the competition was thanks to goals from William Saliba, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka (2), Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice. The impressive result puts Arsenal just two points behind Liverpool at the top of the table.
However, reigning champions Manchester City could return to the top if they win their game in hand. Despite this, Odegaard insists that Arsenal are not paying attention to other teams.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Arsenal and Norway captain said: "We are focusing on ourselves and what we do every day.
"We do not care too much about the other teams, we focus on ourselves and we keep working hard. It was a good win and we move on."
He then added: "A brilliant performance. From start to end we dominated and controlled everything. Today, we were really sharp in front of goal. I'm proud of the team. Coming from a big game [against Liverpool] and a big win and backing it up with a great performance."
For Arsenal, the result leaves things as they started heading into the weekend, albeit with a much improved goal difference. Liverpool remain top after their 3-1 win over Burnley at Anfield, although City had briefly gone top earlier on Saturday with a 2-0 victory of their own at home to Everton.
Title outsiders Tottenham just about kept up their feint hopes of gatecrashing the party. Spurs came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 thanks to a 96th-minute winner from Brennan Johnson.
