Dissecting Tottenham Hotspur’s deadly near-post corner routines – set-piece analysis

[mawspurs]

Tottenham Hotspur have had a mixed start to the current Premier League campaign. After inconsistent performances from game to game, the only constant has been their ability to cause chaos during set-pieces.

Spurs have scored 12 goals from corners this season in the league, with those goals having earned them an additional 11 points, being the difference between a UEFA Champions League spot and mid-table mediocrity. Tottenham have particularly attempted one specific corner routine more than any other; a delivery towards the near post, flicked on towards the back post.

Thought we were a bit lucky v Chelsea with Dier flattening Mason Mount at the near post for Kane's goal, but I guess that's on Chelsea for having such a lightweight trying to deal with him.
