Arsenal have a huge second half of the season ahead of them.
The Gunners are third in the Premier League table, nine points behind leaders Liverpool with 20 games left to play.
Mikel Arteta's side are still in the title race, but Arne Slot's Reds are flying high, and it will take something special from the north Londoners to close the gap over the coming weeks and months.
One of the reasons for Arsenal's solid start to the season has been their impressive record at corners.
In years gone by, the Gunners have typically been more exciting in open play than from set-pieces.
However, since Arteta arrived at The Emirates, that has all changed, with corners becoming one of the most dangerous tools in his team's arsenal.
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at how many goals the Gunners have scored from corners so far this season.
What is behind the success?
Arsenal hired set-piece coach Nicolas Jover and have not looked back since.
He arrived at the club in 2021 and has since received widespread acclaim for driving the club's incredible return from free-kicks and corners.
On top of that, Arsenal have changed the profile of their squad, with sizeable target men like Gabriel Magalhaes creating a huge threat at set-plays.

Gabriel Jesus also found the back of the net from a corner in Arsenal's 5-1 win over Crystal Palace.
On New Year's Day in 2025, Mikel Merino was on hand to fire in a loose ball from a corner to put them 2-1 up against Brentford.
On top of that, Gabriel won a penalty from a corner after being clattered by Lukasz Fabianski in the win over West Ham.
