Arsenal once again capitalized on their set-piece expertise, with William Saliba scoring the decisive goal against Chelsea. From the Sky Sports studio, Gary Neville criticized the predictable nature of Arsenal's set-piece tactics, stating, 'The art of the set piece has been mastered by Arsenal. It was men against boys.'
The Gunners have now scored 23 times from set-pieces across all competitions this season, with nine of those opening the scoring - more than any other team in Europe's top five leagues.
