Top 5 Premier League set-piece goal-scoring clubs, with Chelsea pipped by high-flying Liverpool

4) Manchester United – 6 set piece goals

Thanks to Wayne Rooney, United have already bagged three goals directly from freekicks this season! They haven’t scored once yet though from a crossed set-piece, but have scored one penalty, and once from a corner. Last season they scored more goals than any other side in the country from dead ball situations, and will need to do something similar this term if they are to have any chance of winning the league.
