The captain showed why he wears the armband!
Premier LeagueOdegaard converted the 53rd minute penalty, sending Sam Johnstone the wrong way, after Eddie Nketiah had been felled by the Palace goalkeeper.
Saka took all of Arsenal’s Premier League penalties last season but infamously missed a crucial spot kick during the costly 2-2 draw at West Ham – which sparked his side’s collapse during the run-in. The England international also fired wide in a pre-season friendly against Barcelona last month and although he was on target in the Community Shield victory over Manchester City, Odegaard decided to pull rank at Selhurst Park following a string of his own successful conversions against the likes of Manchester United, Monaco and City.
