Burnley manager Scott Parker has defended Arsenal against criticism of their set-piece style.
He also suggested that they are a quality team and that they are not completely dependent on set pieces.
Arsenal have been overly criticized this season for their reliance on set pieces. They have been exceptional in that area and it has produced valuable goals.
However, Parker believes set pieces are not the only reason why Arsenal are top of the table. He thinks they are a top team and have performed at a high level. There is no doubt that Arsenal have a talented team, and they have been exceptional this season.
Scott Parker about Arsenal
Parker said: “Arsenal is not just about set pieces. If you think they are at the top of the league only because they score from corners then you don’t understand football.”

Arsenal are favorites for the title
Based on their performances so far, there is no doubt that they will be the favorites to win the league title. They have come close to winning the Premier League in recent seasons and this looks like a golden opportunity for them to go all out.
Defending champions Liverpool were quite poor, and Manchester City were inconsistent. Arsenal are certainly the best team in the country at the moment and they will do everything they can to win the title.
Regardless of the criticism of their football style, they have managed to achieve important results and have been very difficult to break defensively. There’s no doubt that they deserve to be at the top of the table right now.
