Napoli manager, Antonio Conte, has praised Arsenal’s dominance in set-pieces.

Conte is preparing to face his former side Chelsea in their last fixture of the Champions League group phase.

The Serie A side are hoping to pick up points to qualify for the knockout stages.

But Conte has hailed Mikel Arteta’s men, who have won all seven matches so far and will finish top if they get at least a draw at home to Kairat Almaty on Wednesday evening.

At last 29% of Arsenal’s goals across the Premier League and the Champions League this term, have come from set-pieces.

Conte said: “Today, you see Arsenal dominating and setting an example in set-pieces, we’re all looking at this aspect.

“Having a player who can take long throws is important, because it’s like a corner.

“You have to be good at explaining these changes to clubs in the transfer market, because they may not understand certain things.”20470271
