In a season where Arsenal clinched headlines for scoring the most corner goals, it was Crystal Palace who quietly stole the show with superior efficiency.

Nottingham Forest: The Unsung Set-Piece Specialists


Close on Palace’s heels, Nottingham Forest delivered a 6.3% conversion rate—scoring 10 goals from 159 corners. Their surgical accuracy reinforces how refined execution can bridge the quality gap between big clubs and determined underdogs. ([Eurosport Espana][1])

Arsenal’s Set-Piece Paradox: Volume Without Pinnacle Precision


Despite topping the charts with 14 corner goals from 251 deliveries, Arsenal’s efficiency stood at just 5.6%, placing them third overall. Their dominance in volume didn’t translate to precision, underscoring room for tactical fine-tuning in high-stakes moments. ([Eurosport Espana][1])
