Arsenal have built a reputation as masters of the set piece on route to a place at the top of the Premier League table.
The Gunners extended their lead at the top of the table to four points on Sunday, following a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Eberechi Eze’s goal came via another set piece, after an Arsenal free-kick fell invitingly to the midfielder inside the area.
Arsenal have now scored 11 goals from set pieces in the Premier League this season, in just nine games. For context, fourth-placed Sunderland have scored just 11 goals in total all season.
