Arsenal were one of the best sides in the Premier League, if not the best, from attacking corners last season. But it felt like today their plans from corners were over-complicated or poorly executed.
Bukayo Saka shanked the first straight to the first man, and with Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario still looking anxious and jittery in coming for the ball, Arsenal won the corner… then played it short and lost it.
The next one was a high, floated one to the back post which saw Martinelli crowded out.
Without wanting to undermine the elite set-piece coach Nicolas Jover, and while you can use your full range of different routines in the second half maybe, surely with Vicario looking nervous, just swing it in right underneath the crossbar and put him under genuine pressure?
