In a performance that electrified the Emirates Stadium and sent Arsenal fans into a frenzy, Eberechi Eze delivered what many are already calling the best display of his Arsenal career. Scoring a stunning hat-trick in a dominant Premier League win, the former Crystal Palace star stole the headlines—yet astonishingly, he insisted after the match that he was not the best player on the pitch.
Speaking to reporters moments after full-time, Eze stunned everyone with his humility.
“Although I scored the most beautiful hat-trick today, that guy was the best player today and he deserves all the praise,” he said with a smile. “He controlled everything. I just finished the chances. He made the game easy for all of us.”
And who was this mystery player?
Sources close to the squad confirm that Eze was referring to none other than _____ (choose your preferred Arsenal star: Martin Ødegaard, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, or another creative teammate—I’ll continue the story using Martin Ødegaard unless you want a different name).

Ødegaard Runs the Show
While Eze grabbed the goals, it was Martin Ødegaard who knitted the entire performance together. The Arsenal captain was sensational from start to finish, dictating the tempo, creating chances, and producing a masterclass of leadership and creativity.
Eze highlighted this in his interview:
“People will talk about my goals, but watch the game again — Ødegaard was everywhere. His vision, his passing, his energy… he set the tone for us from the first whistle.”
He added that Ødegaard’s ability to find spaces and feed runners was the real reason Arsenal were able to dismantle the opposition so comfortably.
Fans online seem to agree. Social media was flooded with reactions praising Ødegaard’s midfield brilliance, with many describing the Norwegian as “unplayable,” “orchestrating like a prime maestro,” and “the heartbeat of Arsenal’s attack.”

A Partnership That Could Define Arsenal’s Season
Eze’s arrival at Arsenal brought massive excitement, but many wondered how he’d fit with Ødegaard in the same attacking structure. Today’s performance may have provided the perfect answer.
The pair were in perfect sync—one weaving through defenders, the other spotting passes no one else on the field could see. Their chemistry looked natural, almost effortless, and supporters are already calling them the Premier League’s next unstoppable creative duo.
Manager Mikel Arteta also praised both stars after the match:
“Eze was outstanding with his finishing, but football is a collective game. Ødegaard makes everyone better. When those two connect like this, we become very difficult to stop.”

Eze’s Humility Wins Fans Over
Arsenal fans were already warming to Eze, but his post-match comments have endeared him even more. Praising a teammate right after scoring a hat-trick shows the level of humility, maturity, and team-first mentality Arteta demands from his squad.
One Arsenal fan wrote:
“This is why I love Eze already. A hat-trick hero who still lifts others up. That’s the Arsenal mentality.”

Final Thoughts
While Eze’s hat-trick will dominate the headlines, his message was clear: football is more than individual glory. And in his eyes, Martin Ødegaard was the true architect of Arsenal’s victory.
If this partnership continues to flourish, Arsenal may be on the verge of something truly special this season.
