West Ham are the game’s set-piece specialists right now.
Since the start of last season, they have scored from 21 such situations in the Premier League, more than any other side.
Opponents foolish enough to gift them the opportunity to swing a ball in from a set-piece run the risk of being punished — as Tottenham were on Sunday.
Managers work tirelessly on set-plays on the training ground. They try to come up with creative routines by telling their players to make certain movements.
Watch Sunday’s winning goal and you will see Declan Rice make a distracting run towards the near post as the ball flies behind him to Michail Antonio.
