From the Telegraph today:
Stat #4: Norwich v Hull: No Premier League team has conceded more headed goals than Hull this term (seven)
Although Norwich’s headed goal - scored by came from a corner, it typified the problems Hull have had in defending long balls into the box. In open play, Norwich were afforded 40 crosses, and should have done more with the freedom allowed for Robert Snodgrass, Jonas Gutierrez and latterly Anthony Pilkington. Snodgrass in particular was given opportunity to roam out wide - he had the second-most touches in his team after Russell Martin (who played behind him), attempted 18 crosses, took five shots and created five scoring chances.
