Arsenal is drawing attention for more than just its Premier League title chase. Following a 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday, the Gunners have now scored 15 and 16 goals from corner kicks this season, securing a crucial win against their London rivals. The team’s success from set pieces is largely attributed to the expertise of Nicolas Jover, Arsenal’s specialist in dead-ball situations, despite facing criticism from some observers.
During a press conference Tuesday, head coach Mikel Arteta addressed the team’s proficiency from corners with a surprising statement. “I am frustrated that we haven’t scored more goals and that we have conceded goals from set pieces,” Arteta said. “We want to be the best team, the most dominant, in all aspects of the game. That is the trajectory and the objective of this team.”
