Breaking up play, making interceptions and dominating midfields are just some of the well-documented qualities of Christian Norgaard, but there's a unique Premier League record the Danish international holds.
Our new number 16 enjoyed his best output in front of goal in 2024/25, netting five league goals to help Brentford to a top-half finish, and in doing so, he took his tally of Premier League goals to 11.
Nine of those efforts have come from set pieces, which means that 81.8% of Christian's goals have come from dead-ball situations, the highest of any midfielder in the competition's history with more than 10 goals to their name:
Name | Goals | Set Piece Goals (excl pens) | Percentage |
---|---|---|---|
Christian Norgaard | 11 | 9 | 81. |
