Mikel Arteta has responded to criticism of Arsenal's tactics from rival managers by saying he is "upset" they "haven't scored more" from corners. Fabian Hurzeler, whose Brighton said host the Premier League leaders on Wednesday, has called for stricter rules around set-pieces and criticised Arsenal for time-wasting. "I am upset we haven't scored more and that we have conceded [from set-pieces] as well," Arteta told a news conference. Arsenal have scored the most goals (58) and conceded the fewest (22) in the Premier League. They are way ahead on goals scored from set-pieces, including penalties, with 21 compared to Manchester United's 15 in second.
