Ian Wright identifies the key Mikel Arteta decision that has boosted Arsenal


Arsenal legend Ian Wright has hailed Mikel Arteta for the choice to hire Andreas Georgeson as a set-piece coach at the club last summer. The Gunners have experienced an uncertain season once again but secured a victory over Leicester City on Sunday, with a 3-1 score. One of the goals was a well-executed system straight from the training ground. The Swiss coach moved to Arsenal from Brentford, tasked with improving a side who had struggled to be effective from set-pieces at both ends of the field. "It’s no secret Arsenal have a set-piece coach. When you look at how that [Luiz’s goal] was worked, it was worked brilliantly," he told Premier League Productions. "You can see that Lacazette was there to clear out the space and pin their best header of the ball which is Jonny Evans. "And that is the space where you see David Luiz definitely waiting for the space to be cleared. The ball has to be pinpoint and it’s fantastic. That’s why you get a set-piece coach, to get those things working on the training pitch." Arsenal's victory over Leicester has provided a timely boost ahead of the final months of the season.
