Liverpool manager Arne Slot revealed that most Premier League games are “not a pleasure” for him to watch given the reliance upon set pieces exemplified best by current league leaders Arsenal.
Slot’s aesthetic idealism ironically surfaced after his Liverpool side defeated West Ham United with the help of three goals from corners. The style debate was intensified by Arsenal’s 2–1 win over Chelsea on Sunday which also featured a trio of goals from set-piece bundles.
