“Corners are back,” writes England icon Peter Crouch just now on his X account. The goal stork hits the nail on the head. In the London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea, it’s the set pieces that pose the greatest danger.
It’s well known by now that the Gunners make good use of corners. William Saliba already gave Arsenal their ninth 1-0 lead of the current league season with a corner kick variant.
Overall, the Gunners have already been successful 15 times after a corner, thus equaling the Premier League record set by Southampton in the 1994/95 season, with nine games still to go.

But it’s not just Arsenal that can handle corners. Despite having a lot of possession, Chelsea struggled against the league leaders from the neighborhood. Just before the break, however, they hit the Gunners with their own weapons. After a James corner, Pierro Hincapie inadvertently nudged the ball into his own net. The Blues are back in the game.
