Arsenal have scored 16 goals from corners this season in the Premier League - this fact has bothered a section of the public on the Island, so Liverpool manager Arne Slott, Brighton's Fabian Hirtzeler, David Moyes... have all spoken out.
Pep Guardiola said he "has an opinion, but he'll keep it to himself" about the Gunners' way of scoring goals, but Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had something to say after the chase for the leader.
His team is first in the table, five points ahead of City with a game in hand...
"Criticism is part of the game and I accept that. What do I have to say? I'm angry that we didn't score more goals from corners, I'm also angry that we conceded goals in that way," said Arteta.
Arsenal is criticized for influencing the dynamics of football, for its games being full of stoppages, so Hirceler pointed out that the London team sometimes takes more than a minute to make a stoppage.
"The goal of this team is to be dominant in every segment of the game. That's the trajectory we want to follow," says Arteta.
The numbers show that Arsenal have scored the most goals (58) and conceded the fewest (22) this season in the Premier League.
Including penalties, the leader has scored 21 goals from set pieces, the most in the league, second in this segment is Manchester United with 15...
"Football is getting harder and harder from a tactical perspective. Teams are adapting and every break, foul or throw-in has become important, as well as how you enter the action," said Arteta.
