Arsenal didn\u2019t score a set-piece against Brighton, but Nicolas Jover was still in full celebration mode, piling praise on Piero Hincapie for his monstrous performance at the Amex. <\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s coaching staff<\/a> will be sensing that a Premier League<\/a> title win could be on the cards after the Gunners\u2019 statement win at Brighton. <\/p>\n

The job is far from done, but as the victory was accompanied by Manchester City dropping points, the ball is in Arsenal\u2019s<\/a> court. <\/p>\n

The best part? Arsenal did it all without a set-piece goal, but that didn\u2019t stop Jover<\/a> from celebrating jubilantly at full-time, as in the tunnel, he reserved special praise for Hincapie<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Have you ever seen a reaction like this from Arsenal fans during Mikel Arteta\u2019s reign? <\/p>\n

This felt very significant \ud83d\udd1c\ud83c\udfc6\u2753<\/p>\n

Nicolas Jover was right to praise Piero Hincapie after Arsenal\u2019s win over Brighton<\/p>\n

Arsenal don\u2019t allow Jover to take part in media duties<\/a>, keeping their set-piece coach under wraps to avoid the secret recipe being shared. <\/p>\n

After the win at the Amex, the Frenchman couldn\u2019t avoid the spotlight, as Arsenal\u2019s social media team<\/a> posted a video of the players passing through the tunnel into the dressing room. <\/p>\n

Heading into the changing room, Jover was with Hincapie and said, \u201cQue partido!\u201d to the Ecuadorian, which translates to \u201cWhat a match!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jover has given a lot of match-winning feedback to the Arsenal squad, but not a truer word has been spoken than his evaluation of Hincapie\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n

The defender was instrumental to Arsenal\u2019s win, taking Gabriel Magalhaes to the wire to contend for the Man of the Match award. <\/p>\n

With a monstrous 16 defensive contributions, the left-back was untouchable at the Amex, putting up a fight to win every ball and impose himself whenever he could. <\/p>\n

The icing on the cake was when Hincapie put Fabian Hurzeler in his place<\/a>, clearly tired of the Brighton manager\u2019s attempt to rouse the media against Arsenal\u2019s playing style. <\/p>\n

The genius detail about Piero Hincapie\u2019s transfer to Arsenal<\/p>\n

Andrea Berta\u2019s ability to sign a player of Hincapie\u2019s calibre on an initial loan is becoming more and more mesmerising. <\/p>\n

Prove me wrong: Piero Hincapie was Arsenal\u2019s best signing of the summer transfer window <\/p>\n

What\u2019s even more incredible is that, as per Hand of Arsenal\u2019s<\/a> understanding, it was always the plan for Hincapie to become a permanent member of the squad. <\/p>\n

What makes the loan even more impressive is that the \u00a345m fee that Arsenal will hand Bayer Leverkusen will come out of the 2026\/27 budget, rather than the 2025\/26 one. <\/p>\n

In an incredible deadline day deal, Berta secured a top-quality defender who ticks all boxes, being a key part of Arsenal\u2019s title-contending form and a player whom the Gunners did not need to break the bank for. <\/p>\n
