Arteta Relaxed Over Arsenal's Lack Of Open-Play Goals
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is adamant that his side are capable of scoring goals from open play in the Premier League.
The Gunners are gradually gaining a reputation as a side reliant on set-pieces for breakthroughs.
Since the start of last season, Arsenal have scored 23 goals from corners, more than any other Premier League side, including four goals in their last three top flight matches.
On Wednesday, Arteta's side beat AS Monaco 3-0 in the Champions League, with all three goals coming from open play.
As they prepare to face Everton on Saturday in the Premier League, Arteta says he is not worried about their lack of open play goals.
"No, I don't worry [about the lack of open-play goals] because when I watch the game, the situations we have in open play and what the opposition has created in open play, I don't know if we can do much more than that," Arteta said.
"Set-pieces are a consequence of what we do in open play and how we do defensively. It's a phase that is part of that.
"I know that you see this as set-pieces and that as open play, and I see set-pieces and open play all together, but I respect that a lot. I don't agree, but I respect it!
"We want to create more from every angle and from set-pieces as well, so always trying to evolve and be better."
