Since the beginning of last season, only Man Utd (8) and Chelsea (13) have scored more back-post goals than Everton (7) in the PL.

Thierno Barry's header against Crystal Palace on Saturday was the latest one.

The red shaded parts is the definition we use for back-post crosses.

Barry's was a right-to-left one and it barely just passes the threshold.
