‘He has given us belief’ — Arteta reveals secret to Arsenal’s set-piece success

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed the key to Arsenal’s set-piece dominance after their 1-0 win over Tottenham in the North London derby.

‘He has given us belief’ — Arteta reveals secret to Arsenal’s set-piece success, The importance of set-piece expertise cannot be overstated and Arsenal’s set-piece coach Nicolas Jover is one of the best in the business according to manager Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners boss paid tribute to one of his most trusted staff after watching his side win 1-0 against bitter rivals Tottenham in a heated North London derby.

The winning goal came from a beautiful Gabriel Magalhaes header off a Bukayo Saka corner in the second half.

That’s 17 goals from corners since last season, and a whopping 42 from set pieces since they brought in coach Jover from Manchester City in 2021

Arteta praises Nicolas Jover for set-piece magic

After the game, Arteta praised Jover saying; “He is the best in his field, in other fields, and as a person. And the relationship that we have – that’s why I made the decision to bring him to City when I was there and then to Arsenal.

“He and the rest of the staff have injected the belief to the players that there are many ways to win football matches.

“This is a really powerful one and he has given us a lot. So a big ­compliment to all of them.”
