Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed Bukayo Saka will continue to be the club's penalty taker.

The young winger missed a spot kick against West Ham United in a 2-2 draw in the Premier League.

Arsenal could have taken a 3-1 lead in the game had Saka put away his spot kick.

Instead, they were pegged back and had to settle for a draw, which puts a dent in their title ambitions.

"If I had to pick one player to do it, it would be him again," Arteta told reporters.

"In that moment we missed it and this is football."

Saka is enjoying a terrific season, scoring 12 goals and managing 10 assists in the Premier League.
