In the world of football, the art of scoring from corner kicks is a topic that never fails to spark excitement and debate.

The Numbers​

A reddit user made a serious analysis with algorithms to test if corner kicks can significantly increase the chance for scoring a goal or not.

To test this, he examined 134 English Premier League (EPL) matches from the 2010/11 season, encompassing 1,434 corners.

The results were eye-opening for many football fans:

  • Only 20% of corners led to a shot on goal.
  • A mere 10% of these shots resulted in a goal.
  • In essence, a minuscule 2% of corners led to a goal.



Last analysis I saw was 3% resulted in goals. Therefore they’ve got 33% more successful in just over a decade.

It was the contact wasn't that made it a legitimate VAR decision. I think it should have stood but could easily argue the other way.

Don’t think so. Think it was Bernardo interfering with Sa by being so close that made it subjective.

The linesman can’t see how Bernardo has interfered or not, so, very belatedly, put his flag up.

VAR showed he was a yard to Sa’s right and didn’t stop him seeing the ball or diving.

Had the header gone into the far corner, there would have been more of a decision to make.

The numbers game is a good read. Clearly highlights that corners actually hamper a lot of short teams. So susceptible to the counter. We just recycled the ball a lot for years until we bought some big lads
 
Has anybody explained why the busy linesman appeared to put his flag up about 30 seconds after the goal?

Isn’t he just. Never stops bleating. Wasn’t bleating last season when their goalscorer should have been sent off. You just know that every media outlet everywhere will make a massive deal of this all week.

Reminded me a bit of Micah’s goal at Villa for last minute celebration's. Did a couple get arrested for jumping one barrier too many!

This.
Anyone decent in the media, so of course no one, would be pointing out the decisions they have had v us over the years inc last season and the other year where i think was a foul and handball in the build up to a goal for them

FS, was it a foul on the keeper as the corner came in............no,

was Bernie intefering or obstructing keepers view as Stones headed it...............also no,

There are no other ways to disallow the fcking goal.

Sky and them whipping up a hate City storm cos we won and they had prepped the studio for us dropping points lol.

They literally twisted everything to make us look bad, including the way var/ref worked and the offside issue.

Fck them and fck anyone who refuses to see it as it is.

I have already had to argue with someone over it, so well done sky for weaponising oppo fans(again).

But sky employ 3 fucking idiots that failed to differentiate between the contact as corner is taken & where ball is played backwards so obviously not offside to the header and him being in an offside position & clearly not interfering with play. Sky were disingenuous with their bullshit analysis and displaying the offside rules with an implication that he was interfering with the keeper due to the contact when the here’s no fucking way offside was an option at that stage.
Whether deliberate because the 3 of them share a fucking brain cell, or an editorial decision to appease the sky armchair audience of a rag **** in Berkshire or a dipper in Dublin that’s too stupid to formulate their own opinion on something they’ve seen who knows? If sky had any integrity they would be embarrassed by the take those 3 idiots portrayed but we know they integrity and sky don’t go together.
 
Love the Arsenal fan/pundits wetting themselves over the Stones goal. For the last year Arsenal have used their two 6ft+ centre half's to block, impede or restrict a goal keepers movements and scored numerous goals due to this.

One only a few weeks ago against City.

I am delighted that City have come up with a 'dark art' of their own to gain a tiny advantage like other teams do.

It's clearly been planned and worked on, and I would bet they choose Bernie as the one to 'bother' the goalie just so Grealish could say he's 5'2" he's not blocking the goalie.

He gave the goal initially and none of the Wolves players complained. He then put his hand up to disallow it and it went to VAR. I was too busy going bugshit to look at the assistant.

Yeah I was literally jumping round the front room going crazy and offside didn’t even come into my head. Great end.

Im not a fan of players obstructing keepers, but it happens in almost every game. Gabriel’s goal against us should have been disallowed also. So fuck it x

I don’t think Gabriel’s goal should have been disallowed. The corner before that he put over was a clear foul on Ederson. But for their goal Ederson was too soft. It wasn’t much more than what Silva did today.
