Conceding 9% of all corners confronted, when in comparison with all Premier League keepers who confronted greater than 20 corners final season, locations 15 keepers as having a greater share and 12 as having worse.
Curiously, Aston Villa's Martinez ranked second finest, solely conceding two objectives from corners having confronted 60. Lammens' 9%, nonetheless, is an enormous enchancment on United's first-choice keeper final season, Andre Onana, who conceded 17.2%.

United's team-wide defending of corners has been questionable at instances and the Premier League's physicality, creative nook routines and use of people to use bodily contact on keepers, could trigger Lammens' numbers to turn out to be barely worse as he learns to adapt to the league.
His confidence, aggression and peak do give him helpful uncooked instruments to enhance in these conditions if coached round when to come back and how one can place himself.
