Arsenal fans spot Ben White's new corner tactic and it's going to rattle the entire Premier League

Ben White was up to his usual tricks.

Fans have spotted Ben White's new corner tactic, and it's certain to ruffle a few feathers in the Premier League.

The European Championship and Copa America only finished a week-and-a-half ago, but pre-season is already well underway for Premier League clubs.

After pushing Manchester City all the way in the title race in each of the last two campaigns, this season Arsenal are looking to become champions for the first time since 2004.

Fabio Vieira opened the scoring in the first half with a well-taken volley, before Antoine Semenyo scored a late equaliser via a fortuitous deflection.

Arsenal won the subsequent penalty shootout 5-4, but what fans on social media were more bothered about was the role Ben White played during corner kick routines.

The 26-year-old was not part of England's Euro 2024 squad, so he has had all summer to rest and recharge. He clearly looked full of energy during his first outing of the new season, so much so that he treated fans to his goalkeeper-harassing antics normally reserved for competitive matches.

Fans behind the goal at Dignity Health Sport Park in LA captured footage of White pushing and shoving in the box, trying to obstruct Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto and generally just being a nuisance.

"Death, taxes & Ben White s***housery from corners," one fan commented on X, with another replying: "White is back to rattling goalkeepers lmao, Arsenal are fully back at their best."

A third fan wrote: "That's why he was pumping iron... now I get it," while another said: "The guy is an OG at this. No one else comes remotely close. Elite s***houser."

One fan noticed that on the next corner kick White started 'rubbing the back' of Neto, while another joked that Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover "studied set pieces and came up with a crazy tactic."

Arsenal will face Manchester United and Liverpool before returning to London to take on Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon at the Emirates Stadium before their Premier League opener against Wolves on August 17.
