Bukayo Saka breaks silence after Arsenal penalty miss in West Ham clash with determined message

Bukayo Saka has insisted he will do everything he can to make amends after his missed penalty in Arsenal's Premier League with West Ham. The 21-year-old was handed a golden chance to put the Gunners back in control at London Stadium with the game finely poised at 2-1, but the Arsenal attacker shockingly sent his penalty wide off the target.

In the first half, goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard had put the league leaders in total control with the Gunners dominating the ball. However, a number of mistakes at the back, starting with Thomas Partey gifting possession to Declan Rice, allowed the Hammers back into the game with Gabriel Magalhaes bringing down Lucas Paqueta in the penalty area.

Said Benrahma stepped up and comfortably dispatched his spot kick to drag his side back into the game. Early in the second half, Saka had a chance to score from 12 yards but he fired his effort wide of the target at a crucial time in the game.
