Havertz: Set Pieces Were Key to Arsenal’s Premier League Triumph

Kai Havertz says Arsenal’s work on set pieces was a major factor in their Premier League title-winning campaign. Arsenal reportedly scored more set-piece goals than any other side in the division, including a record haul from corners. Those goals often gave the team the lead or proved decisive in tight matches, while Arsenal also conceded very few from dead-ball situations. “Set pieces have become a huge part of our game,” Havertz said. “We treat them like penalties; every time we get one, we feel like we can score. We work on them tirelessly in training, and it shows in matches.” Although some critics called Arsenal “Set Piece FC,” Havertz believes their dead-ball strength complemented their defensive discipline, open-play quality and consistency throughout the season.
