I don’t have any data, but besides Saliba’s goal vs Burnley I can’t remember when was the last time we scored from set piece. Many times Saka and Martinelli corners are cleared on the first post which is frustrating.

I have heard on some local tv praise for Arsenal’s set pieces and now read Kompany saying something similar about them being the best at it.

Based purely on eye test, I find West Ham way more dangerous. Ward-Prowse is perhaps the best set piece specialist and Soucek, Antonio, Zouma etc are real aerial threat.

Which team you find best in set pieces?

      Arsenal are the team with most corners taken in the league.

      And at least half of the goals are from rebounds, which is something I have been overlooking, so it’s my bad, but still I think the corners aren’t taken very well, but I should give more credits to the positioning of the team and to the rebound ability.
