Arsenal's Set Piece Leads Saliba and Gabriel
December 2, 2025
It's no surprise that Arsenal have been the team that has scored goals from all angles this season. Arteta has been building his team for a long time. They have won trophies in between, but they have not been able to overcome Pep's Manchester City. Bale and Arteta have been in charge of Arsenal for six seasons. Under Arteta, Arsenal have improved significantly from season to season and have become a difficult team to beat this season.
Arteta was a major challenger for the Premier League title in recent years, but this season Arteta's team has transformed into a team that can win the title. Arsenal's defense has become noticeably more compact and the attack can score goals almost constantly. Even if the attack can’t score, Arsenal have one weapon that they have been using for years. That is set piece goals. Arsenal’s set pieces have been structured differently than any other team in recent seasons. This year, Arsenal’s set pieces have improved, and their handballs have become more dangerous. Another thing to note is that Arsenal’s set pieces are led by Saliba and Gabriel. Gabriel is a central defender who can almost always score goals from set pieces. Arsenal’s set pieces didn’t work as well as they thought they would in the last London derby against Chelsea.
In this match, Arsenal's two main defenders, Saliba and Gabriel, were not allowed to play due to injury, and only the substitutes, Hincapie and Mosquera, played in the defense of Arsenal. This is also part of Chelsea manager Enzo Maradona's game plan to protect Arsenal's set pieces. It was clearly seen that Hincapie and Maresca, who came in place of Saliba and Gabriel, were not as scary as Saliba and Gabriel in set pieces. That's why Saliba and Gabriel are the main leaders of Arsenal's set pieces. Thank you very much to everyone who read until the end.
