Bukayo Saka's Arsenal team-mates have no concerns over the winger’s mindset after he missed a crucial penalty in Sunday’s draw at West Ham, with Granit Xhaka insisting: ‘He’s so strong mentally. We are not worried about him.’
Saka had the chance to give Arsenal a 3-1 lead at the London Stadium on Sunday, only to miss the target from 12 yards. Two minutes later, Jarrod Bowen equalised for West Ham to put a huge dent in Arsenal’s title ambitions.
It was Saka’s first penalty miss for Arsenal and his first setback from the spot since the Euro 2020 final with England.
