Messi brace fuels Miami over Nashville in MLS Cup series opener
MIAMI: Argentine superstar Lionel Messi scored twice to lift Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory over Nashville SC on Friday in the opening game of their MLS Cup round one playoff series. Tadeo Allende also scored for Inter, who took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series, with game two in Nashville on November 1. Eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi was presented with the Golden Boot award before the game after topping the regular-season scoring chart with 29 goals in 28 games. He wasted no time in demonstrating how he earned it, putting Miami up 1-0 with a diving header off a pass from Luis Suarez in the 19th minute. Sergio Busquets had gained control of the ball near the sideline and passed to Rodrigo De Paul. De Paul found a charging Messi, who handed off to Suarez on the right and pressed forward to connect when Suarez fed it back. Allende’s header from a pass by Ian Fray put Miami up 2-0 in the 62nd minute. “We know that playoffs are tough, so we wanted to start with a win at home,” De Paul said. “Hopefully, this is just the beginning.

Arteta’s deadly set-piece plan hatched 10 years ago
LONDON: Mikel Arteta said Friday that Arsenal’s set-piece prowess has been a decade in the making. The Gunners have scored 10 goals via set pieces in the Premier League this season — the earliest into a campaign any side has reached double figures for such goals in the history of the competition. Arteta finished his playing career at the Emirates in 2016 before he joined Pep Guardiola’s coaching team at Manchester City. And when the Spaniard, who is now approaching six years in charge at Arsenal, was asked at what point he thought it would be smart to hone in on the importance of set-pieces, he replied: “Ten years ago. “I started to have a vision and try to implement a method and try to be surrounded by the best people to deliver that. “I went to City with the best manager in the world and I could see where we could have improvements, and it was clear because at some point I was doing that and I wasn’t the best person in the world to do it. “So if I’m not the best person in the world to do it and the best method to do it, there are ways to improve it.” Ahead of Crystal Palace’s visit to Emirates Stadium this weekend, Arteta admitted he knew set pieces — including free-kicks and corners — would be essential to any success during his Arsenal reign. Crucially, Arteta was doing his coaching badges when he met Nicolas Jover, who would later become set-piece coach at Brentford before joining Arsenal in 2021. Jover has been instrumental in Arsenal’s remarkable ability at set-pieces. “You could see straight afterwards when it started to happen,” he said. “We have created the culture, giving that part of the game (set-pieces) the importance that it has.
