Arsenal manager proud of his side’s set-piece record‘We want to the best at everything,’ says Arteta
Mikel Arteta has said it is a compliment for Arsenal to be compared to Stoke under Tony Pulis for their set-piece prowess but warned their rivals that they still have room to improve in that area.
Arsenal scored twice from corners in Wednesday’s win against Manchester United to take their tally to 22 goals via set pieces since the start of last season. Their total of 16 in the previous campaign matched the Premier League record set by West Brom under the management of Pulis in 2016-17, with the former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov joking that Arsenal are the “new Stoke City” while working as a pundit for their win over United.
