Who needs set pieces when your opposition defend like this?
Arsenal took a major step towards qualification for the Champions League knock out rounds here with a vital win over Monaco.
But they were gifted this victory by the Ligue 1 side. Much has been made of Arsenal’s reliance on set-pieces in recent weeks.
They didn’t need to dip into their dead ball arsenal here thanks to Monaco’s amateur rearguard. This was far from convincing from the Gunners, one of those nights when huffing and puffing overtakes technical quality.
Mikel Arteta would argue his team created enough chances during a 20 minute hot spell in the first half to have had this sewn up before half-time.
