Arsenal secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League. The Gunners dominated possession and capitalized on set-pieces, scoring two crucial goals from corners. Despite missing one of their primary aerial threats, Gabriel Magalhaes, who was injured, other players stepped up to secure the win.
The match showcased Arsenal’s ability to capitalize on set-pieces, a key feature of their season. Since the start of last campaign, they have scored 22 goals from these scenarios, the most in the Premier League. Dimitar Berbatov, a former Manchester United player, likened them to Stoke City, who were known for their set-piece specialists under Tony Pulis.
Berbatov’s comments echoed the team’s dominance from set-pieces, which can often make or break games. He joked that Arsenal’s ability to score from corners is so effective that it’s like having a “foul” on the other side of the pitch, allowing them to push forward and create chaos.
Looking ahead, Arsenal will face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, aiming to maintain their momentum and put pressure on leaders Liverpool.
