Marc Guehi makes odd comment about Arsenal’s set-pieces after 5-1 win over Crystal Palace
During two fixtures in less than a week against Arsenal, Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi wasn’t quite able to get to grips with Gabriel Jesus and his forward partners.
After a tight affair at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal were comfortable winners against Crystal Palace in south London on Saturday evening.
Mikel Arteta’s side once again made the most of their set-piece threat, with the cameras constantly turning to Nicolas Jover on the touchline.
Arsenal have a new star emerging in N17, and it’s not just their Brazilian number nine who’s suddenly added a ton of goals to the club’s efforts.
Jesus scored his second goal courtesy of the mayhem Arsenal were able to create in the Palace box from a first half corner – deliveries neither Guehi or the likes of Maxence Lacroix were able to deal with.
Marc Guehi thinks Palace dealt with Arsenal’s set-piece threat ‘quite well’
Therefore, given how the home side struggled from Arsenal’s corners, Guehi’s comments to Premier League Productions following Palace’s 5-1 defeat were slightly surprising.

Guehi was right to say that the game was a tale of two boxes – Arsenal made the most of their chances and the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta didn’t.
