Saka and Odegaard had put Mikel Arteta’s team up 2-0 at the break.

However, less than ten minutes after the break, Bournemouth defender Ryan Christie hauled down Odegaard in the box, giving Arsenal a penalty.NYSC Portal

While Arsenal’s typical penalty takers are Saka and Odegaard, the ball was passed to Havertz, who has failed to score a goal for Arteta’s team in nine matches across all competitions.

However, the Germany international scored his first goal for Arsenal, and Nicol felt the team’s choice to let the former Chelsea player take the penalty was unethical.JAMB Result

“If Arsenal’s life depends on it, Saka takes it or Odegaard takes it,” Nicol told ESPN.

“Havertz doesn’t take it. So at 2-0 the game’s not over. It is a lack of professionalism.”

He added, “What happens if he misses it and Bournemouth get two late goals? That is not what you do. If you are the coach of a team and allow things like that to happen, then it spreads into other things. You have to be precise. And orders are orders.”JAMB Portal
