EPL: Why I gave Odegaard penalty against West Ham – Saka

Arsenal winger, Bukayo Saka, has revealed why he handed over the team’s penalty to captain Martin Odegaard, during their 5-2 win at West Ham on Saturday.

The Gunners were already two goals up thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes and Leandro Trossard when Saka was fouled inside the area.

The 23-year-old opted to allow Odegaard to score his first goal of the campaign.

Saka however took the second penalty that was awarded before the break to score Arsenal’s fifth.

When asked about his gesture, Saka replied: “Odegaard wanted to take the penalty… I’m more than happy to give him the ball.

“He always gives me the ball, so we have a good connection.

“Martin is a top player, he’s been playing so good since he came back.”
