Mikel Arteta confirms Bukayo Saka decision after Arsenal penalty miss against West Ham

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka will remain as the club's penalty taker despite his miss from the spot against West Ham. The Gunners drew 2-2 against the Hammers as they dropped more points in the race for the Premier League.

Arteta watched his side throw away yet another 2-0 lead just a week after Liverpool came from behind to snatch a point against the league leaders at Anfield. Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard handed the Gunners an early advantage against West Ham, before Said Benrahma grabbed a goal back for the hosts before half-time.

Arsenal were awarded a penalty in the second half but Saka was unable to convert his spot kick as the ball sailed wide of the post. Just minutes later, Jarrod Bowen equalised for David Moyes' side with the Gunners unable to find a winner.
