Arsenal’s efficiency from corners has been a standout feature this season, with the two goals against Chelsea taking their total to 16 in the league.
This equalled the joint-most corner goals in a single Premier League campaign, matching records set by Oldham Athletic in 1992-93, West Brom in 2016-17, and Arsenal themselves in 2023-24.
With nine games remaining in the 2025-26 season, Arsenal are on the verge of setting a new outright record.
