“A while back, I wrote about the goal value of corners. Turns out that more corners don’t equal more goals. Across the big leagues, the correlation between corners and goals is essentially 0 (it’s strongest in the EPL at .06, and weakest in Serie A and La Liga at less than .01). ”
“The yield from corners ranges from 0 to .07. On average, the data show that a corner is good for (drumroll ….) 0.022 goals. This means that the average EPL team scores 1 goal from a corner about every 10 games. And this helps to explain the lack of a correlation between the number of corners and goal scoring. The infrequency of the goals from corners combined with a lack of dispersion between teams in corners per game lead conspire to make corners mostly, well, useless when it comes to scoring goals.”

I read somewhere that, on average, teams score from 1 in 7 corners.
I don’t think its as often as that generally. But, whatever the average, we are way below

Johansen is a great bet to score on the anytime basis
He is also a good bet to score in the second half as teams tire ….
Good shout……
The clean shots that Virgil has managed were being blocked when Commons, Forrest, Guidetti and Bitton attempted them earlier.
First, wear them down…

Sounds like a stat from old time football.
I quickly googled the following:-
