Bukayo Saka told penalty miss may be pivotal as Arsenal accused of "taking foot off gas"

David Seaman believes Bukayo Saka's missed penalty at West Ham will be remembered as a "pivotal" moment if Arsenal fail to win the Premier League this season.

The Gunners raced into a two-nil lead at the London Stadium thanks to Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard before Said Benrahma's strike gave West Ham hope. However, Mikel Arteta's side were offered the chance to regain their two-goal advantage from the penalty spot moments after the break - but Saka fired wide.

That gave the Hammers some optimism to grab a point and they found an equaliser through Jarrod Bowen, who slotted home to earn a 2-2 draw in east London. It was a result that kept Arsenal top, however, four points ahead of Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola's men have a game in hand.
