Yes, I realised that once the euphoria of Hojlund scoring the winner had settled. Does anyone know the previous time we scored from a corner?

I remember the awful run we had a couple of years ago when we went something like 140 corners before we scored. There was a guy who sits in East Stand Upper Tier who used to shout the updated number, in his best Darts commentators voice, after every failed attempt!
Does Lindelof v Luton count as being from a corner?

Maguire, Varane and Lindelof have all scored this season, so the problem isn’t getting the centre backs scoring. It’s perhaps the quality of corners and corner routines.

Evans scored v Burnley but Højlund was offside.

May be a set pieces coach on defending corners and scoring from them.?..

EtH seems to not even cross the ball from open play even.. ? Feck knows what he would have done with Beckham.

If Bruno is the best corner taker we can manage, the results will continue to be similar.

He's just so bad at it. He doesn't give them an opportunity in the box because he can't clear the first man. It should be Eriksen for all corners if he's on the field.

No threat from corners or free kicks, that's 15-20 goals per season less.
