In the current Premier League season, opponents have scored four own goals in games against "Arsenal".
Idman.Biz reports that yesterday, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez scored an own goal in the 3-2 victory against the "Gunners". Previous own goals were scored by Sam Johnstone and Erson Mosquera from "Wolverhampton", and Jorginho Rutter from "Brighton".
In total, "Arsenal" has scored 42 goals in the English Premier League this season, with an own goal rate of 9.5%, which is higher than other Premier League winners.
It is worth noting that in the 1996/97 and 2012/13 seasons, Manchester United's opponents scored six own goals – in the same seasons that the "Mancunians" won the English Championship. In the first season, the own goal rate was 7.89%, and in the second season it was 6.98%.
"Arsenal's" second goal in yesterday's game was scored from a corner kick. This is the 15th goal scored by the Londoners from set pieces in the current Premier League season, accounting for 35.7% of all goals scored by the "Gunners" in the competition. Like their own goals, this indicator is also higher than that of previous Premier League winners. The record was set by Manchester United in the 2007/08 season, when they scored 27.5% of their goals from set pieces.
Currently, "Arsenal" is in first place in the league table with 50 points. "Manchester City" and "Aston Villa" are four points behind.
