Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has been offered some words of comfort by Mikel Arteta after missing a decisive penalty against West Ham in Premier League action. The Hale End graduate stepped up to the spot at a key moment in the London Stadium clash, with Arsenal 2-1 in front, but his effort from 12 yards was fired wide.
The Hammers then equalised just moments later through Jarrod Bowen, with the momentum shifting drastically in favour of the hosts. Michail Antonio went closest to a winning goal, but it was another two points dropped for the league leaders in their title battle with Manchester City
Likely feeling his role in the game could have cost the Gunners, Saka responded to his penalty miss with a determined message on Instagram. He wrote: "Regardless of the outcome, I’ll always accept my responsibility. Apologies Gunners, I’ll do everything I can to make it right."
