"Nothing wrong with scoring from set pieces"

Premier League: this legend backs Arsenal
The debate surrounding Arsenal’s style of play shows no sign of slowing down, but Alan Shearer has stepped up to back the Gunners. The club remains top of the Premier League after their 2-1 victory over Chelsea FC, a derby defined by goals from corners.
Arsenal have scored 16 goals from set pieces this season, matching the league record. Some critics see this as a lack of attacking variety, but Shearer insists that winning is what really matters:
There’s nothing wrong with scoring from set pieces. If they win all their matches, they’ll be champions.
The Gunners are five points clear of Manchester City and continue their march towards the title. Their next challenge comes against Brighton. The title race remains wide open, but Arsenal’s resilience is truly impressive.
