Emi - How I forced Jeff to miss his penalty

Emi Martinez counts penalty shoot-outs as one of his biggest strengths - so it was no surprise he was the hero against Angers.

Our goalkeeper saved the decisive spot-kick from former Gunner Jeff Reine-Adelaide, and told Arsenal Media afterwards why he was confident he could make the difference.

"When he was coming up to the penalty spot I was saying, 'Jeff, I know you, I know you so well'," Martinez told us. "I was guessing the wrong side for the first three pens and I think for the fourth pen I forced him to miss because I waited so long for him.
