Mikel Arteta addresses worrying Arsenal trend after Gary Neville's concern rears head again

Arsenal may have brushed aside Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon with relative ease as they ran out 4-1 winners, but manager Mikel Arteta wasn't convinced by every aspect of his side's display.

The Gunners attacked the Eagles with remarkable confidence, with Gabriel Martinelli opening the scoring before Bukayo Saka bagged a brace either side of a Granit Xhaka strike. However, while the scores was 3-0 to the hosts, Palace pulled back a consolation goal courtesy of Jeffrey Schlupp which came from a corner.

In what is a concerning development for Arteta, Arsenal have started to concede an alarming amount of goals from set-pieces. Dating back to the 1-0 defeat by Everton last month, the Gunners have shipped goals from corners against the Toffees, Brentford, Bournemouth and Sporting CP.
