Arsenal secured yet another crucial Premier League victory over the weekend, defeating Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Granit Xhaka and a Bukayo Saka brace secured all three points for the home side, who now lead second-placed Manchester City by eight points going into the international break. Now, the Gunners' official YouTube channel has released the latest Bench Cam video which gives fans an insight as to how animated manager Mikel Arteta can be on the touchline.
At around the 4:19 mark, Arteta can be seen kicking his foot up in the air at an invisible ball, seemingly mimicking what he wanted midfielder Xhaka to do following a cutback from Saka. Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale performed an extremely similar action for Martinelli's opener, swinging his left foot as if he was taking the Brazilian's shot himself.

There was also a moment, 5:24, where set-piece coach Nicolas Jover was visibly frustrated at the Arsenal defenders as Palace scored from a corner. The Gunners have traditionally been exceptional from dead-ball situations since Jover's arrival from Manchester City two years ago, although they have found themselves in a slight slump defensively since the tune of the year.
In fact, the north London outfit have now conceded six times from set-piece situations in 2023, something that Arteta himself has admitted needs to improve sooner rather than later. When discussing the goal his side conceded on Sunday, the Spaniard said: "Yeah, I am not happy with that. Again it is from a set piece. We need to improve that."
