Chelsea and Cote D’Ivoire legend Didier Drogba has proferred solution on how to stop Arsenal scoring from corner kicks.

No team in Europe has matched Arsenal’s 22 goals from corners since the beginning of last season.

Their clinical execution was on full display during their 2-0 win against Manchester United on Wednesday.

Defenders Jurrien Timber and William Saliba scored from corner routines.

Much of the credit has gone to set-piece coach Nicolas Jover, as well as the accurate deliveries of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice.

Commenting on an Instagram post about their set-piece success Drogba (via Yahoo! Sport) advised: “Put someone in front of the corner taker 10m away and tell him to jump so the corner taker won’t be able to deliver a good ball.

“Then you ask your goalkeeper to take all the sloppy balls and ask your defenders to protect him.”

Despite their efficiency from set-pieces, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta dismissed suggestions that his team is overly reliant on them.

“We aim to be effective from every phase of play, not just set-pieces,” Arteta said.

“Last season, we scored the most goals in this club’s history because of the variety in our attacking approach. We want to create magical, individual moments as well.”

Arsenal trail leaders Liverpool by seven points but remain firmly in the title race.

Up next for them is a London derby with Fulham, who also recorded a win in midweek thanks to Alex Iwobi double.
