No need to take action at all; Arsenal's last three wins have all come from opponents' own goals and penalties conceded. From another perspective, their attack lacks potency.

In the early hours of December 24th Beijing time, Arsenal played Crystal Palace to a 1-1 draw in the League Cup quarterfinals, advancing 8-7 on penalties. They will meet another London side, Chelsea, in the semifinals. Arsenal took 25 shots but couldn’t find the net, once more depending on an opponent’s own goal and penalty shootout success to progress—very lucky!

Can you believe it? The Premier League leaders and Christmas champions Arsenal have won or progressed in their last three matches without scoring a single goal from open play by their own players, relying entirely on opponents’ own goals and penalties to claim victory.

• In the 16th round of the Premier League, a battle at the bottom of the table was expected to be one-sided, but Arsenal eked out a 2-1 home win thanks to two own goals by Wolves, narrowly securing 3 points.
• In the 17th round of the Premier League, Arsenal managed a hard-fought 1-0 away victory over Everton. The Toffees conceded a penalty, and Yacoules finally ended his goal drought.
• In the League Cup quarterfinals, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace and advanced 8-7 on penalties. During regular time, Arsenal relied on an opponent’s own goal, firing 25 shots without scoring. Notably, Madueke missed three clear chances, and Jesus had five unsuccessful attempts!

Over the past three seasons, Arsenal have finished as Premier League runners-up each time, twice being Christmas champions but failing to win the title. It appears that in their last three matches, Arsenal have won without any open-play goals from their own players, relying solely on opponents’ own goals and penalties. From another angle, this shows Arsenal’s attacking weakness. As a title contender, lacking a consistent scorer in the number 9 position means their frontline can falter at any time. Compared to Manchester City, Haaland might be the player Arteta most desires!
