[Saba Sports News] In the 7th round of the Premier
League, Arsenal achieved a 4-0 victory against Bournemouth in an away game.
During the match, Arsenal were awarded two penalty kicks. Surprisingly, Bukayo
Saka, who is usually their designated penalty taker, relinquished both
opportunities, allowing Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz to take the penalties
instead. Fortunately, both Odegaard and Havertz successfully converted the
penalties, justifying Saka’s selfless gesture. From a positive perspective,
this incident highlights the strong cohesion and team spirit within the Arsenal
squad. However, from another angle, it suggests that Saka may be lacking in
self-confidence and has yet to overcome the disappointment of his previous
penalty miss.
