A continuous problem for Spurs this season has been their set piece defending. This weekend, Spurs conceded another goal from a corner.
This article is fairly old, but it is still so relevant. I’ve checked the data again, and Spurs rank 3rd worst for chances conceded from dead ball situations – only behind Man United and Sheffield.
Was thinking the same when Spurs conceded from that corner.
The two teams in the race for 4th are both pretty bad at defending set pieces. Villa definitely have a physicality issue as they have quite a small team, especially with mings out. Seems like for spurs, the opposition is targeting vicario every time
Oddly enough villa are one of the best teams at attacking set pieces in the league
