March 3, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has called for a clear rule on how much time is wasted at set‑pieces, citing Arsenal’s record‑setting corner time. The Seagulls will face the Gunners on Wednesday.

Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler has urged the Premier League to introduce a clear rule limiting the time spent on set‑pieces, after Arsenal took over a minute to take a corner. The Seagulls’ comments come as Arsenal’s 16 corner goals this season equal a league record, and the match is set for Wednesday.

Arne Slot and Pep Guardiola have also weighed in on the growing reliance on set‑pieces, with Slot calling the trend a loss of joy and Guardiola acknowledging the need to adapt while accepting it as part of the game.
