Welcome!

Over the last week I went over every single Chelsea game this season to analyse corner kicks in Chelsea games, this took a long time but there isn't much for me to say - The numbers speak for themselves so take a look. I will break down the goals conceded from corners at the end of the year along with other reviews.

Chelsea have played 46 games - 30 in the league - 16 in Cups

277 corners in all competitions - 14 goals - 5.054% of all of our goals have come from corners

No. of Chelsea Corners in PL matches (185 all together)

Interesting numbers and facts to note

We average 6.16 corners per game in the league above the league average of 5.35 a game

277 corners taken - 5.054% of our corners result in goals

14 of our 99 goals this season are from corners - 14%

3 goals scored from short corners - 21.4% of our goals from corners were short corners

Willian has only taken 2 corners which have led to goals and both of them were short, This shocked me considering how often I see him taking corners.

4 goals from corners conceded (10% of all our conceded goals) with only one conceded in the league, That is phenomenal. 1 goal out of 127 corners conceded or 0.79%.

That is phenomenal. Most corners in any game came against West Brom when we had 15 - Least was 0 against Liverpool.

We had scored 8 of our 14 goals from corners by the 25th of November. 3 of the 6 goals since that point were short corners, maybe teams became used to our routines - good to see we mixed it up.



Thank you very much for reading, I am aware that some of these stats aren't great without context but I still think that there are some very interesting stats in there. Check out my other fanposts if you like. I'll answer any questions you have in the comments and hope to release the next Tactics Talk a bit earlier than this one came around.
