Reece James, captain of Chelsea, stated that Arsenal’s dominance from set-pieces was decisive in their Premier League clash on Sunday.
The Gunners secured a 2-1 victory over their London rivals at the Emirates Stadium.
William Saliba opened the scoring, before an own goal by Piero Hincapie brought both teams level.
Jurrien Timber then headed in the winner for Arsenal from a corner.
“This is football now in 2026,” James told reporters.
“90 per cent of goals are probably set pieces and they are probably one of the leaders in terms of goals for and defending them. Arsenal are difficult to stop. They scored two today. Disappointed.”
