Rosenior's side conceded both goals from corners in their narrow 2-1 defeat away to league leaders Arsenal on Sunday. ‌But Chelsea also scored their goal from a set piece, as Reece James' corner was put in by Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie. ‌Arsenal's second of the day, scored by Jurrien Timber, was a record-equalling 16th goal from a corner kick this season. It's since emerged that Arsenal coach Nicolas Jover has a bonus in his contract for every set-piece goal they score.
