It took his league tally to 15 strikes, with ten of those being headers. Only three others to wear Arsenal&#8217;s jersey have registered more in the Premier League era: Olivier Giroud (27), Ian Wright (14), and Emmanuel Adebayor (12).<\/p>\n<p>His latest goal wasn&#8217;t from open play but from an increasingly common source. Indeed, no defender has scored more from headers per 90 minutes than Gabriel since the start of last season. He&#8217;s even competing with Premier League strikers in terms out attacking output in this area.<\/p>\n\n<p>To demonstrate this, we used data expert Twenty3&#8217;s Discover tool to create an &#8216;aerial threat&#8217; score. The score factors in headed goals, shots, xG, post-shot xG, aerial duels and aerial duel success. Based on his output in these metrics, there are only two players more effective &#8216;aerial threats&#8217; than Gabriel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1620\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1363930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-66x65.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-999x999.jpg 999w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/09\/18182119\/1363735_1363735_player_ranking-top-ten-20x20.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Chris Wood is one of them. The Nottingham Forest striker has the most goals from headers per 90 minutes (0.25) since the start of 2023-24. Meanwhile, Fulham forward Rodrigo Muniz boasts the most headed shots per 90 minutes and the second-most aerial duels won per 90 minutes (4.33).<\/p>\n<p>In-form Brighton forward Jo\u00e3o Pedro has the second-highest post-shot xG (a metric used to measure the quality of finishing). His figure of 0.17 per 90 is significantly up on his xG (0.09), suggesting he is making the most of difficult chances by steering the ball to harder-to-reach areas of the keeper&#8217;s goal.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Arsenal lead the way for set-pieces<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>But when it comes to set pieces, it&#8217;s the Gunners who rule this method of goalscoring. Since the start of last season, they&#8217;ve scored more goals from set pieces (excluding penalties) than any other Premier League team (23), much to their set-piece coach&#8217;s delight.<\/p>\n<p>Arteta saw firsthand how Jover improved Manchester City&#8217;s dead-ball situations both defensively and offensively and poached him from his former club in 2021. He described Jover as &#8220;someone whose expertise can be incredibly useful and valuable for us&#8221; following his appointment.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a crucial part of the game nowadays,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s something you have to dominate and master, and we are in that process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After the Tottenham win, Arteta elaborated further: \u201cIn his field, in other fields, and as a person. And the relationship that we have \u2013 that\u2019s why I made the decision to bring him to City when I was there and then to Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He and the rest of the staff have injected the belief into the players that there are many ways to win football matches. This is a really powerful one, and he has given us a lot. So a big compliment to all of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&#8216;I told Arsenal players I can increase their salary by 20%&#8217;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Jover was recently profiled in the French daily L&#8217;\u00c9quipe and stressed that set pieces are no longer just &#8220;marginal gains,&#8221; but &#8220;essential gains&#8221; that can significantly impact match outcomes. &#8220;Today, I no longer need to convince the players, but at the beginning, I was telling them, &#8216;We can increase your salary by 20%, what do you think?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jover shed light on how to extend the lifespan of set-piece innovations &#8212;\u00a0 \u201cAfter seven or eight matches, a combination can work again.&#8221; &#8212;\u00a0 and how the effectiveness of particular routines depends on the frequency with which a team faces the same opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Set-piece tactics are no longer an overlooked &#8212; and often boring, from player perspectives &#8212; part of coaching. Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand feels Jover has changed attitudes on that front.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I used to hate standing around in the cold doing set pieces. It\u2019s the worst thing; nobody enjoys it,&#8221; Ferdinand began. &#8220;The difference at Arsenal will be that they\u2019re now seeing the benefits and licking their lips. They will be going, &#8216;Bring it on, give us another set-piece drill, give us something new.&#8217; That guy is going to be walking about like he is the Don. If he\u2019s not a manager within three years, I\u2019ll be surprised. He\u2019ll be a manager somewhere, I bet you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal have a match made in heaven: the Premier League&#8217;s most effective set-piece coach, and one of its deadliest finishers in the air.
