Arsenal will seek in every possible way to stay at the top of the Premier League and thanks to two corners they are already beating Chelsea two to one on this Matchday 28 of the top English circuit, a situation that would leave them for another week as super leaders and with the dream of becoming champions still alive.
The shots from the corner have been the way for both teams to direct the ball into the rival goals. William Salibá appeared first in the 21st minute, taking advantage of a second shot and almost in the six-yard box with a header he was able to momentarily lead his team, this being the ninth time in which the Gunners scored first in this way, something that only Southampton had achieved in the 1994/95 campaign.
Things were even before the end of the first half thanks to an own goal by Piero Hincapié, also from a corner. It seemed that things would end like this, since in the second half the game was very stuck in the middle of the field, but at 66′ Jurrien Timber appeared, again after a charge from the flag, to give his team a break.

This is the 16th goal of those led by Mikel Arteta in this way in the PL, this being the most goals of any team in a single season, a mark that today they share with Oldham, West Brom and themselves, but in the 2023/24 season.
