Explained: Why England are so good at set pieces at World Cup 2018

The Three Lions have scored more goals from dead-ball situations than any other side this summer in the finals – how have they been so successful?

England booked their place in a World Cup final for the first time since Italia '90 by seeing off Sweden 2-0 comfortably, thanks to an opening goal scored from a corner by Harry Maguire.

The Three Lions have been lucky with their successes with netting from dead-ball situations this summer, scoring just three out of their 11 total goals in open play.

Harry Kane has helped with their goal tally after converting all three penalties that England have been given, and it is the first instance since 1966 that England have scored more than 10 goals in a World Cup.
