Cresswell hails quality of West Ham set-pieces this season

West Ham fullback Aaron Cresswell has hailed the quality of their set-pieces this season.

The Hammers have scored a record 32 goals from set-piece situations since David Moyes returned to east London in late December 2019, 12 of which were assisted by Cresswell's inch-perfect corners and free-kicks.

He told the club's website: “We work on it on a Friday and always spend time on it. The Gaffer, Kevin and Nev take a lot of pride in it and we've scored the most set-piece goals of anyone over the last two years. The work is there and we've had some fantastic results off the back of them.

"It always helps when you have got Daws, Angelo, Kurt, Issa, Tomas, Mick… as you've got so many people to aim for and as a defender it's your worst nightmare and not what you wanting to be marking against!"
