Mikel Arteta said he has been masterminding Arsenal’s set-piece success for the past 10 years, starting from when he was a player at the club.
Since the beginning of the 2023-24 season, Arteta’s side have scored a mammoth 43 Premier League goals from set-pieces, 10 more than next-best side Everton (33).
This season alone, the Gunners have struck 10-set-piece goals, excluding penalties, from 12 matches across all competitions as they have blown opposition away with the help of specialist coach Nicolas Jover, who joined in July 2021.
Arteta retired as a player at Arsenal in the 2014-15 campaign but had cottoned on to how set-pieces would revolutionise the game whilst doing his coaching badges.
