The Premier League is really blessed with lots of talented and creative free kick takers. These players take free kicks effortlessly by landing the ball at the back of the net in no time. Some players have over the year developed styles and techniques that allow them to constantly find the top corner or baffle keepers by making the ball swing through the air. Most times, luck often plays a role in deciding whether a free-kick ends up in the back of the net.
Chelsea's Marcos Alonso and Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho are currently topping the chart of highest goals scored through free kicks in the Premier League this season with two goals each. Marcos Alonso's stunning free-kick earned Chelsea a 1-0 victory against Southampton in their last Premier League encounter last Saturday to level points with second-placed Manchester United.
Here is a list of the Top Free Kick scorers, team and number of goals.
Marcos Alonso Chelsea 2
Philippe Coutinho Liverpool 2
Nacer Chadli West Bromwich Albion 1
Kevin De Bruyne Manchester City 1
Ashley Young Manchester United 1
Owkai. Let's see if the record can be defeated
Well, it is still an early stage of the season and it is possible that the record is defeated but free kicks are not easy to score, most especially if there is a good goalie in front of the net. #OWB
Premier league is making brains ...
Having a defender top the chart is inspiring. I'm sure Alonso has more in stock for us and all Chelsea fans. Thanks for your comment. #OWB
