Brighton Manager Calls for Clear Set‑Piece Rule

Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler said there needs to be a “clear rule” on how much time is wasted at set‑pieces, pointing to Arsenal’s over one minute just to take a corner. His comments come as Brighton face Arsenal on Wednesday, with Arsenal’s 16 goals from corners this season equaling a Premier League record. On Monday, Arne Slot said the Premier League has become less of a “joy” to watch because of the reliance on set‑pieces, with tactics under scrutiny. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said “in some ways, I agree with Slot” but added that “you have to adapt… it’s part of the game.”
