"This was the ninth time in the Premier League this season that Arsenal have scored a match-winning goal from a corner, now the outright most by a team in a single campaign (overtaking Manchester United's eight in 2012-13)."
"Arsenal's 16 goals from corners in the Premier League this season is the joint-most by any side in a single campaign, alongside Oldham in 1992-93, West Brom in 2016-17, and the Gunners themselves in 2023-24."
"It is no secret that Arsenal are the best team in Europe from set-pieces, and this game was all about dead-ball situations."
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Emirates Stadium, with Jurrien Timber's 66th-minute header proving decisive. All three goals came from corner kicks. Arsenal opened scoring in the 21st minute when William Saliba headed in from Gabriel Magalhaes' corner setup, with the ball deflecting off Mamadou Sarr. Chelsea equalized before half-time when Piero Hincapie scored an own goal following a corner. Timber restored Arsenal's lead with a header from Declan Rice's delivery. Pedro Neto received a red card for fouling Gabriel Martinelli, leaving Chelsea with ten men. Arsenal's set-piece dominance continues, having now scored nine match-winning goals from corners this season, breaking Manchester United's previous record of eight.
