Fouls, of course, are far from inherently positive, but they do suggest a willingness to fight that Arsenal rarely exhibit. That equates to five points dropped from winning positions for Spurs - the fewest in the entire Premier League. A higher proportion of Arsenal’s shots have been from inside the penalty area than any other team in the Premier League this season. That said, Arsenal’s players are patently discouraged from shooting from distance, despite the fact that they have the players, namely Alexis Sanchez, to score from distance as often as anyone else.
