Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his ambition for his team to be "kings of everything" after their impressive performance in set-piece situations.

The Gunners scored two goals from corners in a 2-0 win over Manchester United, bringing their total for the season to 22—five more than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues.

After the match, Dimitar Berbatov compared Arsenal to the "new Stoke City," known for excelling at set-pieces. Arteta welcomed the comparison as a compliment but emphasized his desire for the team to dominate all aspects of the game, including high pressing and attacking.

Arsenal, currently seven points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, will face Fulham next with key defenders Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori returning from injury.
