Amad Diallo: 'Arsenal has nothing special except corner kicks!'

After Manchester United's dramatic 3-2 win at the Emirates, midfielder Amad Diallo publicly ridiculed Arsenal's dependence on set plays and called on the rivals to "stay humble".

The big match at the Emirates last Sunday witnessed an emotional comeback by Manchester United under new coach Michael Carrick. Despite going behind due to an own goal by Lisandro Martinez, The Red Devils fought resiliently to secure a 3-2 win over the Premier League leaders..

Goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Patrick Dorgu, and a stunning late strike from Matheus Cunha secured full points for the visitors, ending an eight-year winless streak at this stadium in domestic competitions.

Right after the final whistle, winger Amad Diallo—who played an impressive 88 minutes—stirred social media with direct taunts aimed at Arsenal.

Specifically, Amad found a pre-match post from an opposing fan confidently stating: "Arsenal is leading 4-0, they've just sent me the script". The Ivorian star reposted it along with the final score image and the message: "Be humble, kid".

The verbal clash escalated when the fan asked Amad to stop messaging. In response, Amad bluntly mocked Arsenal's style of play: "Arsenal have nothing good except corner kicks".

This comment highlights the fact that Arsenal has scored 26 goals from set-piece routines this season, the highest among Europe's top five leagues. In the recent match, Mikel Merino’s equalizer to 2-2 also came from a chaotic corner situation.

Amad’s taunts also targeted the struggles of the home team's key attackers. Statistics show Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard are all enduring long goal droughts or significant drops in form. Their heavy reliance on set-piece plays has become a glaring weakness exploited by opponents.

Under Michael Carrick’s leadership,Amad Diallo is gradually establishing himself as a key figure in the new tactical setup. Instead of playing deeper as before, he has been moved back to his natural position on the right wing and continues to shine.

This victory propels Manchester United up to fourth place in the Premier League standings, providing a huge psychological boost for the upcoming phase of the season.
