Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he and his side want to be kings of everything in football.

Arteta stated this after his Arsenal were labelled corner kick specialists.

The Gunners defeated Manchester United 2-0 with both goals coming from corners.

The London club had 13 corners to United’s zero in the midweek game at the Emirates.

Following the win, Arteta’s side have been criticised for their focus on getting corners with many calling them out for antics inside the box.

On Arsenal being labelled corner kings, Arteta replied: “Well we want to be the kings of everything.

“On set-pieces we want to be the best in the world. High press, the best in the world. Attacking open spaces, the best in the world. Best atmosphere. The best at everything.

“Before it was we weren’t scoring enough goals. We were soft when defending. We didn’t have mentality. We weren’t physical enough. We could not challenge the top teams, 22 years, 17 years without winning away from home in big matches.

“We want to be the best at everything now. The best academy. The best individual development for players. The best recruitments. The best coaches. The best players. The best of the best. That’s the aim.

“If that’s not the objective then we should be working somewhere else.”
