Brighton Manager Calls for Rule on Set‑Piece Time

Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler has called for a clear rule on the time wasted at set‑pieces after Arsenal took over a minute to take a corner, citing the club’s 16 corner goals this season – a Premier League record.

The call comes amid a wider debate, with Arne Slot saying the league has lost its joy due to set‑piece reliance, and Pep Guardiola acknowledging the issue but stressing adaptation. Brighton will face Arsenal on Wednesday, while other teams prepare for upcoming fixtures.
