Danger from set pieces

Albion were a side once synonymous with scoring from set pieces.

That has not been the case for quite a while now, but they carried a threat against Swansea.

Darnell Furlong's flick towards goal than went in off the back of Carl Rushworth came from a corner, and there were other occasions where Albion looked threatening.

Given some of the aerial threat Albion have, certainly from centre halves, hopefully it is a source of goals moving forward.
