Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has likened Arsenal to the new Stoke City and insists they are the only team in the Premier League to gang up on goalkeepers during corners.
The Gunners scored twice from corners as they beat Manchester United 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Since last season, Arsenal
have scored 22 goals from corners – more than any other side in the league – and they have emerged as their biggest weapon.
Ruben Amorim’s side, who were unbeaten until their trip to north London, were difficult to break down for the majority of the first half, and it took the Gunners to score both of their goals from corners to break the deadlock and then add a second.
Jurrien Timber and William Saliba were both present in the six-yard box to feed off their side’s set-piece dominance in the 54th and 73rd minute, respectively, as they ran out 2–0 victors at the Emirates. They now sit in third place in the Premier League table.
“Maybe the Premier League is the only league in the world where you put players around a goalkeeper, pushing and causing chaos,” Berbatov said to สมัคร ufabet . “Normally
it would be a foul, but not here. “
You have to be strong and maybe that’s why he (Amorim) was looking from the sidelines like ‘what happened to my goalie?’
“So they have to work on that because of course, as we joke, Arsenal are the new Stoke City in terms of set-pieces, aren’t they? You can win games like you did today.”
