The Gunners suffered their first defeat in the Premier League against Manchester United on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta side have on a five games winning streak but Erik Den Hag side dent the Gunners record.
Antony Santos who joined Manchester united this summer put the Red Devils in the lead in the first half.
Prior to the goal, Gabriel Martinelli scored for Arsenal but the goal was disallowed following a VAR check, with Odegaard deemed to have fouled Christian Eriksen in the build-up.
Speaking after the game, Odegaard was adamant that Paul Tierney's decision to rule out the goal was 'very, very soft'.
Paul Tierney who was the match official was seen watching the VAR screen before he ruled out the goal for a foul.
Odegaard said: 'In my opinion it is never a foul. A soft challenge and for VAR to come in it has to be clear and obvious. Very, very soft. You can make it look worse on camera. Never a foul, the referee said play on.'
Bukayo Saka equalised for Arsenal in the second half of the game but Marcus Rashford scored brace to ensure that victory remains at Old Trafford stadium.
