Brighton Manager Calls for Set‑Piece Time Rule Ahead of Arsenal Clash

March 3, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has called for a clear rule on how long teams can waste at set‑pieces after Arsenal's record 16 corner goals this season. The debate comes ahead of Brighton's clash with Arsenal on Wednesday.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has urged the Premier League to introduce a rule limiting the time teams spend on set‑pieces, citing Arsenal's record 16 corner goals this season, which took over a minute to take each corner.

Arne Slot criticised the league for becoming less enjoyable due to set‑piece reliance, a view echoed by Man City’s Pep Guardiola, who said adaptation is necessary but the tactics are part of the game.
