Arsenal’s reputation from set-pieces gives them an edge before games even begin. 

That is the view of Jurrien Timber, who admits that he is relishing taking on teams in this way.

The right-back and his teammates beat Manchester United 2-0 on Wednesday, with Timber scoring the first goal of the game. 

Asked about this skill, Timber said: “I think so (gives an edge), I hope so. I hope so, because we are scoring a lot out of it. So I hope so, definitely. 

“They (Arsenal’s set-pieces) look really dangerous and we feel really confident when we go into a set-piece as well, which is a nice feeling. We showed again how dangerous we are from set-pieces. 

“I think that’s the most important thing, building different ways of winning games, and I think we did that this time.”
