In their most recent away game against the Hammers, Arsenal played poorly throughout the opening five minutes of the second half. The Gunners, who were leading 2-1 after Michail Antonio handled the ball in the 18-yard area, were handed a fantastic chance to reclaim their 2-goal advantage from the penalty spot.
Bukayo Saka went up to take the shot even though Gabriel Jesus converted the team's most recent penalty goal against Leeds United football Club at the Etihad Stadium.
Although the England international correctly chose his location, his penalty shot was off-target.
Arsenal fans have received an apology from Bukayo Saka for the missed penalty, and he has promised to make things right in future contests.
Arteta said that he had decided not to relieve Saka of his penalty responsibilities at a pre-game news conference before to Friday's match against Southampton football club. Saka continues to be the team's penalty taker, according to Arteta, despite the forward's defeat against West Ham last weekend.
When Arsenal hosts Southampton at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night, they will be looking to extend their advantage at the top of the Premier League standings to seven points.
The Gunners have squandered crucial points in their previous two home games, enabling Manchester City, which is now in second place, to close the deficit to four points with a game remaining. Southampton, meanwhile, is currently lowest in the league standings with 23 points after 31 league games.
