Brighton Calls for Set‑Piece Time Rule Amid Arsenal Record

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has called for a clear rule on set‑piece time after Arsenal’s record‑tying 16 corner goals, sparking a Premier League debate on tactics.

Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler has demanded a rule limiting the time spent on set‑pieces after Arsenal used over a minute to take a corner, a tactic that helped the Gunners reach a Premier League record of 16 corner goals this season.

Arne Slot said the league has become less enjoyable because of the reliance on set‑pieces, a view echoed by Pep Guardiola, who added that while tactics must evolve, they are part of the game.
