Jover celebrated as Arsenal set-pieces key for win against Burnley

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany admits they were undone by Arsenal's set-pieces in defeat yesterday.

Gunners set-piece coach Nicolas Jover is being praised today for influence.

Kompany said, "Even against a top side, I think it's something that will make us even sharper, even more aware of the threat of the level of this league.

"I have to give credit to Arsenal as well, it's not a coincidence. These teams that have high possession and play around your box, they create set-pieces because of it, dangerous set-plays too.

"You have to deal with them but it's one of the best teams in the league at doing that. Let's not forget they are the best team on set-plays, I think. They keep testing you. If it's not through the middle or through the shots they have on target, it's through set-plays. The best will test you in every way and for us it's just a reminder of staying sharp and alive on everything."
