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.
