Joe Hart: Positioning at corners
Everything a goalkeeper needs to know about commanding the penalty box, courtesy of Manchester City's and England's No.1
Any goalkeeper worth their salt commands the penalty box at a corner. Whether it’s an inswinger or an outswinger, they charge through the traffic and send the delivery flying clear with a well-timed punch, or grab it with both hands and lay on it like a blanket.
Flap at it, spill it or get blocked by a carefully positioned opponent and they present the opposition with a goalscoring opportunity.
