Arsenal’s mastery of set-pieces was on full display during their 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Wednesday night, with the Emirates Stadium erupting into cheers as the team earned corner after corner.
For Arsenal fans, these situations are as promising as penalty kicks, a testament to the team’s remarkable effectiveness from such plays.
The crowd’s chants of “set-piece again, olé olé” highlighted the confidence and excitement Arsenal’s set-piece prowess inspires.
