Arsenal just love scoring from corners in the north London derby but that’s only a recent thing.
The Gunners took the lead in Sunday’s game at Tottenham thanks to Gabriel’s towering header just after the hour mark.
And as Opta confirmed, that was Arsenal’s third goal in their last four against Spurs that have come from a set piece.

What’s more remarkable though, is before that, the Emirates outfit had only netted three of their previous 88 north London derby goals from corners.
It’s also, as the BBC revealed, their 23rd set piece goal since the start of last season.

Whatever they’re doing on the training ground, it’s working.
