A DEAD CERT...Fine margins in set-piece success can be decisive

A DEAD CERT...Fine margins in set-piece success can be decisive

It was only last month when a setpiece from the Gunners blocked Ederson from getting to the ball and was (correctly) deemed clever rather than unfair.

Arsenal have made a name for themselves from dead balls, with former City set-piece coach Nicolas Jover hailed by some as the most important coach in the Premier League beyond the 20 managers.

City are not quite on Arsenal’s level but are still capable of innovating, as Bernardo Silva’s actions at Molineux showed.

That skill, plus the high number of free-kicks and corners they way, has meant that Arsenal have only scored one more set piece goal than them this season.
