Brighton Manager Calls for Set‑Piece Time Rule Ahead of Arsenal Clash

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has called for a clear rule limiting the time teams spend on set‑pieces, after Arsenal took over a minute to take a corner and have scored 16 goals from corners this season – a Premier League record.

Arne Slot also criticised the reliance on set‑pieces, while Pep Guardiola said he partly agrees but that adaptation is part of the game. Brighton will face Arsenal on Wednesday, with Haaland to be assessed and Woltemade doubtful for the upcoming match.
