Arsenal have been dealing with a similar problem for some time now. In games against low block defences like Newcastle, Everton and Brentford the Gunners struggled to create chances, and ultimately failed to claim victory.
"When they block everything and the ball doesn’t go into the net it’s great if you win 2-0 then you played the low block really well," Mikel Arteta told football.london when asked if his side had been figured out. "It is always going to depend on certain things, there are always things that we have to improve and our efficiency in the box has not been as good as it was to win football matches and tomorrow it will have to be really high to beat them."
As they were faced up with yet another deep defence in a crucial match against Leicester on Saturday, there were some fears that they may surrender the lead they had re-established at the top of the Premier League table only last week. This time though, the Gunners found a solution.
