However, Trossard received the position for the first time while wearing an Arsenal shirt.
He tried hard, but Riznyk’s legs saved him and helped him make up for his mistake.
One angry Gooner said, “Havertz has scored 20 of the 21 penalties he’s taken in his career.” What was it being used for by Trossard?

“You get a penalty and give it to Trossard, but your best penalty taker (Havertz) is on the field,” said someone else.
“We can really take risks and that’s not acceptable.”
“Havertz is way too nice too,” yelled one. Should have grabbed the ball from Trossard right away.”
“Why didn’t Havertz take the pen?” yelled someone else. He is the most likely player on the field to take the penalty for Arsenal. Terrible punishment from Trossard.”
Arsenal won the game with a 1-0 lead, which was good for Trossard, but Arteta said it wasn’t his call for the Belgian to take the spot.
He added: “I dunno the conversation as he [Havertz] is one of the takers, Leo decided to take it, okay he missed it unfortunately.”
