Premier League club Liverpool has announced that the team's set-piece coach is leaving.

No team in Europe's top five leagues has conceded more goals from set pieces than Arne Slot's Liverpool this season, while the team has scored just three goals from set pieces.

Wolverhampton's corner goal against Liverpool on Saturday was the twelfth time in 18 league matches that the Merseyside team has conceded a goal from a corner, free kick or throw-in.

On Tuesday, the club announced on its website that Aaron Briggs, the set-pieces coach, is leaving Liverpool.

"He leaves the club with appreciation and the best wishes from everyone at the club," Liverpool wrote.

According to statistics from Opta, Liverpool average 2.4 goals per 100 set pieces; only Brentford is worse in the Premier League.

"It's impossible to be in the top five with our set-piece statistics, and even harder to win the league. It's very special that we have as many points as we have considering that," Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said a week ago.

The team is fourth in the table, and next faces Leeds on New Year's Day.
