Wilshere: West Ham knew all about this Arsenal weakness

West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere has questioned Arsenal's set-piece defending after Saturday's win.

For Rice's winning goal, the corner was cleared out of the box before the ball was worked back out to Felipe Anderson for the cross.

“I think it's the second phase," former Arsenal midfielder Wilshere said, as he worked as a pundit for the game.

“Sometimes it's the most important phase in a set piece.

“You've done your job and sometimes people switch off.

“It goes wide and the second ball goes in and there's someone free.

“Declan was free there and he tucked it away nicely."
