'Teams do their homework' on set-pieces - Gabbiadini

Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini says set-pieces have "always been important," but "teams do their homework" now to minimise the threat of them. How clubs score and defend set-pieces has been an ongoing topic of conversation this season, with the majority of teams now having a dedicated set-piece coach and style. "You used to rely on the commitment of players, in terms of putting their bodies on the line and jumping into situations," said Gabbiadini to BBC Radio Newcastle.
