Arteta makes penalty decision on Aubameyang
Mikel Arteta insists that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will remain on penalty duty for Arsenal despite missing his last two efforts from the spot.
The Gunners captain fluffed his lines from 12 yards during a narrow 1-0 victory over Watford, having previously done likewise in a 3-1 win against Aston Villa on October 22.
Questions have been asked of whether the Gabonese striker should be made to step aside, allowing Alexandre Lacazette to take over, but Arteta says he has no intention of tinkering with his plans.
Asked about whether Aubameyang will remain Arsenal’s go-to man from the sport, Arteta told reporters: “He will stay on penalties if he's happy to do so.
“It's part of your career and job to miss penalties and we will try to help him.”
