Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, said he wants his side to be “kings of everything” after the Gunners were heavily praised for their strength at set-pieces this week.
Arsenal scored two goals from corners in a 2-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday.
Those strikes took Arsenal’s tally of goals from corners this season to 22 – five more than any other side in Europe’s top five leagues.
After the match, former Manchester United and Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov labelled Arsenal the “new Stoke City” – a side who excelled at set-pieces during a 10-year spell in the Premier League from 2008 to 2018.
Speaking on Friday Arteta said he took Berbatov’s words as a “big compliment”, but urged his side to dominate all aspects of football.
“We want to be the kings of everything”, he said.
“On set pieces, the best in the world; on high press, the best in the world; attacking in open spaces, the best in the world. Best atmosphere and stadium – the best at everything.
“Before it was we didn’t score enough, we didn’t challenge, we didn’t win big games for 20 years. We want to be the best at everything”,
