Jordan Pickford?s ?best save ever?, Antoine Semenyo?s shifting mentality and Liverpool?s set-piece threat grows


Arsenal won the battle of set pieces, beating Chelsea 2-1 to keep Manchester City at bay. In a game that offered few clearcut chances from open play, it was a familiar story of Arsenal overpowering their opponents from corner kicks. Gabriel bullied Reece James to set up William Saliba for their first goal and Jur?ri?n Timber punished a flailing Robert S?nchez for their second. Mikel Arteta?s side have equalled the record for the most goals scored from corners in a Premier League season (16) with nine games still to go. Meanwhile, Chelsea have conceded seven goals from set pieces in Liam Rosenior?s first 13 games in all competitions. Despite posing a threat offensively through Reece James?s delivery for Piero Hincapi??s own goal, they repeatedly failed to match Arsenal?s physicality when defending. Xaymaca Awoyungbo
