Summary

Will Smallbone is the main corner-taker at Southampton, while several players are on free-kick duty, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis being the prime target, having shown his aerial aptitude with his debut goal for England against the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League.

Southampton are yet to score from a corner, despite firing nearly two-thirds of their attempts in and around the goalkeeper, with another 19 per cent played short. More than a third of their free-kicks are played in the central area, 12 yards from goal.
