Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has apologised to supporters for missing a crucial penalty in his side’s 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday. The England international had the chance to put the Gunners 3-1 up against the Hammers from the penalty spot early in the second half of the game at the London Stadium. But he completely fluffed his lines and sent the penalty well wide of the post. David Moyes’ West Ham side took advantage of that miss and grabbed an equaliser almost immediately, forcing the Gunners to settle for a point. The result gives title rivals Manchester City fresh impetus in the race for the trophy as Arsenal now sits just four points ahead, with a game more.
