The Premier League’s new plan to end corner chaos

This includes where a player is: Only focusing on the opponent (not looking at the ball) Making no attempt to play or challenge for the ball Holding an opponent with both arms Committing sustained and/or impactful holding of an opponent or their clothing That means a defender who has their back to where a set-piece is coming from and whose only intention is to prevent an attacker's movement will be penalised.

How set-pieces will be refereed differently Players holding on to a goalkeeper's arm as they try to play the ball will continue to be considered a clear foul The fabric of the laws has not changed but the focus on player behaviour has.

The Premier League saw 269 goals scored from set-pieces last season - excluding penalties and direct free-kicks.
