David Beckham, a Manchester United legend, is the best player in English Premier League history in terms of free-kick goals. During his time at Manchester United, the Englishman was a free-kick specialist, scoring 18 goals in the English Premier League.


James Ward-Prowse, a Southampton midfielder, has scored 16 goals from direct free kicks in the English Premier League. The Englishman is arguably the best set-piece specialist in the world right now. He scored a free kick goal against Fulham on December 31, 2022, before repeating the feat against Everton on January 14, 2023.

Cristiano Ronaldo, a Manchester United legend, is the third-best player in Premier League history in terms of goals from direct free kicks. The former Manchester United star scored 12 free-kick goals for the Red Devils in the English Premier League. The current Al-Nassr superstar scored a stunning free-kick against Norwich City in his second spell. This was his final free kick in the English Premier League.


Gianfranco Zola of Chelsea and Thierry Henry of Arsenal both scored 12 free-kick goals in the English Premier League.

Gabriel Magalhaes trolls Bruno Fernandes after Arsenal beat Man Utd

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes trolled Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes.



The Gunners stepped up their attempt to clinch the Premier League title by beating United at the Emirates to stay just five points behind champions Manchester City.


The 25-year-old Brazilian centre-back posted a photo of himself facing Fernandes on his social media after the win.


"JASS... no victory without a fight," he wrote on Instagram. Thank God. '


Gabriel has appeared in all of his 19 Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season, with Mikel his Arteta-led side topping his flight, where he has only lost one.


Since joining the Gunners from French club Lille in 2020, he has made a total of 96 appearances for the north London club.


Arsenal, on the other hand, have not recorded a top-four finish since his 2015/16 season, but are likely to clinch their first Premier League title since 2004.




Bukayo Saka, who scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over United, believes the Gunners "have to stay humble" as they try to lift his trophy at the top in May.


"We can be proud [of Arsenal's best start in the Premier League] but we have to be humble," Saka told Sky Sports. "The season is still halfway through and things can change quickly.


"But if we keep playing the way we have been, we will be in a good place at the end of the season. We just have to keep going.


"You can see how much [a win against United] means to everyone. They're the only team to beat us this season, so I wanted to beat them for the fans.


"We know how important this win is to us. It wasn't easy and definitely not the best start, but it showed a lot of character to come back and come out victorious.
