Adrian Clarke analyses the Premier League's most successful teams in creating goals from corner kicks in 2022/23.
Liverpool
Simplicity is the key for the Reds, who have scored seven times from corners this season.
Jurgen Klopp's side focus heavily on outswinging deliveries aimed towards Virgil van Dijk, confident that he will win his aerial duels.
The imperious Dutchman has had the most shots on goal from corners this season.
His team-mate Roberto Firmino is joint-second, with many of his efforts coming from second-ball knockdowns.
Most shots from corners 2022/23
| Player | Total |
|---|---|
| Virgil van Dijk | 14 |
| Aleksandar Mitrovic | 12 |
| Roberto Firmino | 12 |
The big surprise is that Van Dijk has only scored one goal from a corner this season, in the 9-0 home win over AFC Bournemouth.
It stemmed from an Andrew Robertson outswinger, with Van Dijk simply outjumping his marker to head home.
This is Liverpool's go-to delivery and Van Dijk will surely add to his goal tally when the season resumes.
