The scoreline flattered the hosts, as Mikel Arteta’s heavily rotated side controlled proceedings through a familiar strength: their set-piece dominance. A new corner taker and a previously unseen combination proved devastating, ensuring the Gunners’ 26th league win of a remarkable campaign.\n\nWith the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain just six days away, Arteta opted to rest several key figures. David Raya and William Saliba were left out of the matchday squad entirely, while Gabriel Magalhães watched from the bench before entering after halftime. Ben White was sidelined through injury and Jurrien Timber continued his recovery, yet the makeshift defense remained largely unbreached. It underscored the collective resilience and tactical discipline that has defined Arsenal’s season.\n\nThe winning moment stemmed from a corner — no surprise to anyone who has followed Arsenal’s trajectory under Arteta. The set-piece routine featured a new designated taker and an intricate combination that caught Palace off guard. While the exact choreography remains a closely guarded secret, the execution was delivered with the precision of a training-ground drill. It provided the decisive edge and added another chapter to Arsenal’s story of dead-ball proficiency.\n\nArsenal’s goal from the corner marked the latest in a long list of set-piece successes this term. They have now scored more goals from corners than any other side in the division, transforming what was once an occasional threat into a primary avenue for breaking down stubborn opponents. This evolution has been marked by constant innovation: varying delivery angles, decoy runs, and blocking assignments that create space for aerial specialists. Against Palace, the introduction of a fresh taker added a new layer of unpredictability.\n\nThe defensive solidity should not go unnoticed. Even without Saliba from the start and with a reshuffled backline, Arsenal limited Palace to half-chances for large swathes of the game. Palace’s sole meaningful first-half effort came from a Daniel Muñoz header that Kepa Arrizabalaga tipped aside. Only a late consolation from Jean-Philippe Mateta in the 89th minute denied the Gunners what would have been a 20th clean sheet in the league. That stubbornness is a foundational element of their success.\n\nLooking ahead to Saturday’s showdown with PSG, the significance of this set-piece edge cannot be overstated. In knockout football, where the margins are razor-thin, dead-ball situations often prove pivotal. PSG, boasting a star-studded attacking lineup, will be acutely aware of Arsenal’s prowess. Arteta’s men have demonstrated that they do not need overwhelming possession or a catalogue of open-play chances to prevail; a single well-worked corner can tilt the tie.\n\nThe manager’s post-match remarks, while not explicitly captured, likely reflected a quiet satisfaction. Arteta has repeatedly emphasized the importance of maximizing every facet of the game, and set pieces sit at the heart of that philosophy. The integration of a new corner taker hints at the continuous evolution within the squad — an ability to adapt and stay one step ahead. Whether it was Leandro Trossard, Martin Ødegaard, or another player stepping up, the system’s efficacy remained intact.\n\nInjuries and resting players have not destabilized the machine. Ben White’s absence, Timber’s gradual return, and the resting of Saliba and Raya could have been disconcerting, but the structure held. This depth is a testament to Arteta’s coaching and the clarity of his instructions. Every understudy knows their role, and the collective understanding of defensive positioning and set-piece triggers is ingrained.\n\nCrystal Palace, who will contest the Europa Conference League final later this week, provided a meaningful test with their physicality and organization. Yet Arsenal navigated it with the composure of champions. The home side’s late goal was a mere footnote; the visitors had long since asserted control. It was a performance that married grit with a clinical edge, a template for the challenges awaiting in the Champions League final.\n\nAs Arsenal march toward Paris, the question looms: can their set-piece mastery unlock PSG’s defense? The French champions possess pace and flair, but they have shown vulnerability from set pieces in their own domestic campaign. Arteta will be drilling his corner routines with renewed intensity this week, ensuring every detail is refined. The sight of Gabriel rising highest or Kai Havertz ghosting into space at the back post is now a recurring nightmare for opponents.\n\nThe 26th win in 37 matches places Arsenal on the cusp of a points record in the Premier League era. While the championship was secured weeks ago, this relentless pursuit of victories reflects a culture that rejects complacency. It also sends a clear message to PSG: Arsenal arrive not merely as finalists, but as a side calibrated to hurt you from every conceivable angle — especially from the corner flag.\n\nBased on reporting from L'Equipe.","news","Arsenal's 2-1 win at Palace with new corner taker and routine, their 26th league victory, underlines set-piece threat for Champions League final against PSG.","326255037950988288","Crystal Palace","334112024042672129","326135625054949376","Premier League","330893293816647680","Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano","2026-05-24T21:10:32Z","arsenal-s-corner-routines-new-taker-combo-secure-26th-win","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FArticle\u002FEncore-un-but-sur-corner-un-nouveau-tireur-et-une-combinaison-inedite-arsenal-toujours-aussi-dangereux-sur-ses-points-forts-avant-la-finale-face-au-psg\u002F1678644#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257545968619520","Arsenal",[79,68,63,82,83,84,85,86,87,88],"326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255039846813696","326255041625198592","326257536078450688","326222707169431552","326222713142120448",[80,69,64,90,91,92,93,94,95,96],"Paraguay","Lesotho","FK Partizan","Partizani","Paris Saint Germain","Anderlecht","Canada","Arsenal's Corner Routines: New Taker & Combo Secure 26th Win",[99,127,159,182],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":100,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":101,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":102,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":103,"slug":104,"sourceName":77,"sourceURL":105,"teamId":106,"teamName":107,"teamIds":108,"teamNames":117,"title":126},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
