Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates in the central match of the English Premier League's game day.

The Gunners took the lead after 20 minutes of play. Mikel Merino scored with a header following a corner delivery from Martin Ødegaard. This confirmed that for the Gunners, a corner is more dangerous than a penalty.

Since the start of last season, Arsenal have scored 27 goals in the Premier League from corners. That's 10 more than any other team in the elite English division.

It's worth noting that Merino has already scored his fifth goal in the EPL, equaling the injured Bukayo Saka. Mikel Arteta is using the Spanish midfielder as a center forward due to the severe personnel situation.

By the way, Chelsea's leader Cole Palmer misses the match against Arsenal. He will not play in the EPL for the first time in 11 months.
