Arsenal scored twice from corners in the first half. In both cases, it was the stopper Gabriel, who first got a header in the 11th minute and in the 37th minute got the ball into the net by bouncing off the back of the falling goalkeeper Henderson.
Coach Arteta’s men scored nine goals from corners in the league season, which is the best balance in the competition. “We practice the standard situation a lot, it’s our big weapon. We have the right types of players for that in the team, which we confirmed today,” said Brazilian defender Gabriel.
Arsenal did not score in the previous two league matches, but they managed to clear the fourteenth place in the table and after the change of sides they even increased the score. After an hour of play, Trossard finished off a fast break, and substitute Martinelli added two hits in the set-up.
“That’s exactly the kind of win we needed. Not only did we score five goals, but we also kept a clean sheet,” noted the two-goal scorer. His team partially made up for the last defeat in the English Cup with Liverpool (0:2) and after more than a month they won the competition.
