    Martin Odegaard Equals Cesc Fabregas Record After Fine Long-Range Goal Against Newcastle

    Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard scored his 15th Premier League goal of the season to put his team 1-0 up 14 minutes into Sunday's away game at Newcastle United.

    Odegaard beat Newcastle keeper Nick Pope with a fierce low strike from 27 yards.

    The Norway international is only the second central midfielder to score 15 goals for Arsenal in a single Premier League season.

    Cesc Fabregas is the other, having got 15 in 27 appearances in the 2009/10 campaign.

    Arsenal went on to beat Newcastle 2-0 - a result that guaranteed that the Gunners will finish either first or second in this season's EPL.
