Arsenal Tactics In Defending Counterattacks - Set-Piece Analysis

There’s nothing new to report; Arsenal are the best team in set-pieces in the Premier League, scoring eight goals from set-pieces from 9.01 xG, with the Gunners being the league’s best-ranked side in both categories.

Seven of 34 goals for the Nicolas Jover-coached team come from corner kicks, representing nearly 21% of the total, so teams try to find a way to stop this continuous danger.

Set-piece expert Karim El-shesheiny highlights how Arsenal overcome this defensive tactic with their attacking corners in his latest set-piece analysis article.
