Arsenal duo Martin Ødegaard and Jurriën Timber recorded the highest number of successful passes into the penalty area in the Premier League in game week 10, according to an X post by Squawka on November 9, 2026. Both players completed five such passes during the weekend's fixtures. Their performances placed them ahead of several other notable players in the statistical ranking.
Ødegaard and Timber jointly occupied the first position. This underlines Arsenal's attacking creativity and their ability to penetrate opposition defences through intelligent passing. These Arsenal guys are followed by Iliman Ndiaye. This Manchester City winger came third place with four successful passes into the penalty area.
Next on the list is Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes who took credit for 3. Interestingly, this Portuguese midfielder is level with Fulham's Alex Iwobi and Bournemouth's Marcus Tavernier and Newcastle United's Amar Dedić.
Brighton and Hove Albion had two representatives in the top 10, with Mats Wieffer and Chema Andrés recording two successful passes into the penalty area each. These Seagulls duo are level with Crystal Palace's Quinten Timber.
Arsenal's presence at the top of the passing chart highlights the importance of Ødegaard's creativity and Timber's contribution to the team's attacking build-up.
It should be noted that match day 10 produced 30 goals across ten Premier League matches. Interestingly, Manchester United and Aston Villa contributed eight of those goals in an entertaining 4-4 draw.
