Premier League : Tottenham égale Arsenal dans un record historique sur corner
Tottenham Hotspur a rejoint Arsenal dans l’histoire de la Premier League. Grâce au but inscrit par Mathys Tel face à Leeds United lors de la 36e journée, les Spurs ont égalé le record du plus grand nombre de buts marqués sur corner au cours d’une même saison de championnat. Tottenham rejoint Arsenal au sommet L’ouverture du score de Mathys Tel à la 50e minute, sur un corner parfaitement exploité, a permis à Tottenham d’atteindre la barre des 17 buts inscrits sur corner en Premier League cette saison. Un total déjà atteint par Arsenal lors de l’exercice 2025/26. Les Spurs ont ensuite été rejoints au score par Leeds après l’égalisation de Dominic Calvert-Lewin (74e), mais ce but sur phase arrêtée permet au club londonien d’entrer un peu plus dans l’histoire du championnat anglais. Un record historique battu Avant Arsenal puis Tottenham, le record était fixé à 16 buts sur corner sur une saison de Premier League. West Bromwich Albion avait atteint ce total en 2016/17, tout comme Oldham Athletic lors de la toute première saison de Premier League en 1992/93. Avec 17 réalisations, Arsenal et Tottenham établissent donc une nouvelle référence historique dans l’élite anglaise. Les coups de pied arrêtés, une arme clé des Spurs Cette saison, Tottenham s’est montré particulièrement dangereux sur phases arrêtées. Le travail effectué sur les corners porte clairement ses fruits et constitue l’une des grandes forces offensives des Spurs. Avec encore plusieurs journées à disputer, Tottenham peut désormais dépasser Arsenal et s’emparer seul de ce record historique.

Young Africans SC interim head coach Abdi Hamid Moallin has expressed confidence in the team’s readiness ahead of their crucial NBC Premier League clash against Dodoma Jiji FC, insisting the team is fully focused on securing maximum points despite a demanding fixture schedule.

Speaking before the encounter, Moallin admitted the short period between matches had forced the technical bench to prioritize player recovery and fitness, but said preparations had gone according to plan.
“We have prepared well. The gap between the previous match and this one is very short, so we had to do everything possible to ensure the players got enough time to rest and be ready for tomorrow’s match,” said Moallin.
“We expect another difficult game like the previous one, but I believe we are ready.”
The interim coach also predicted a highly competitive encounter against Dodoma Jiji, describing the hosts as a strong side capable of causing problems, especially at home.
“It will be a very competitive match against a good Dodoma Jiji team. I think the stadium conditions will help us a little because they are similar to the environment we are used to playing at KMC,” he explained.
“Despite the tough schedule, we know the job we have to do here and we have come for three points.”
Yanga head into the fixture in impressive form, sitting comfortably at the top of the league standings after 22 matches. The defending champions have recorded 16 wins and 6 draws while remaining unbeaten throughout the campaign.

The Jangwani giants have also been dominant defensively and offensively, scoring 50 goals and conceding only five, statistics that underline their strength as they edge closer to another title.
However, pressure continues to come from rivals Simba SC, who remain five points behind in the title race. As a result, Moallin emphasized the importance of every remaining fixture this season.
“Every match from now until the end of the season is very important for us. The technical bench, players and club leadership are all working hard to ensure we get three points in every game,” he said.
The coach also provided an update on squad fitness ahead of the encounter, revealing that most players are available for selection.
“All players are safe and ready for the match except Mohammed Hussein, who has started returning to training after injury. We will depend on the final assessment from the doctors to see if he will be ready to play tomorrow,” Moallin noted.
He added that the return of midfielder Mudathir, who had been serving a suspension, was another positive boost for the squad ahead of the busy run-in.
History favors Yanga going into the fixture, with the defending champions having won their last five meetings against Dodoma Jiji, including a 3-1 victory in the first-round meeting earlier this season.
Despite that record, Dodoma Jiji will be eager to produce an upset in front of their home supporters as they continue fighting to maintain their mid-table position in the league standings.
