Crystal Palace 1st, Spurs 2nd, Man City 20th
The last article looked at goals for and against from set pieces and we can, therefore, work out how efficient a side is from set-pieces and how inefficient. In other words, how often a side are going to score and how often they are going to concede in percentage terms which a comparison them against each other.
The first table shows goals for divided by shots for registered as a percentage, thus, we score from set-pieces 13.6% of the time.
You'll remember Tottenham have scored the most goals from set-pieces but only have the 6th highest number of attempts, so these figures demonstrate we are the most efficient team for scoring from set-pieces in the Premier League at the moment. That is quite a change from the pre-Bale era when we were utterly hopeless from free-kicks.
We can see that we will have to be vigilant when we play Sunderland under Sam Allardyce on 16 January.
Next we'll see who good teams are defensively from set-pieces by using goals aginst divided by shots against, again registered as a percentage. Tottenham concede a goal 3.4% of the time from set pieces while, as we have seen, we score a goal 13.6% of the time. Crystal Palace top the defensive table having not yet conceded a goal from set-pieces. Surprisingly, Manchester City are the worse team in the league defending set-pieces.
