Players with the most direct free-kick goals in EPL history

#3 Laurent Robert, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sebastian Larsson

Cristiano Ronaldo spent 6 years under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. His exploits at the club run far beyond just direct free-kicks. However, taking a look back at his achievements, this is one list that he would be expected to make.

Sebastian Larsson and Newcastle’s Laurent Robert join him at the same position. They have all hit the jackpot from free-kicks, scoring 11 goals.

Arguably Laurent Robert and Sebastian Larsson seem to have a similar style of approaching dead ball situations and they have perfected the art of beating the keeper from anywhere between 25 to 30 yards – perhaps even more!

Ronaldo differentiated himself with his incredible knuckleball technique. His unique starting position for freekicks have become iconic and several players – both amateur and professional – have attempted to replicate his routine, often unsuccessfully.

However, Sebastian Larsson, who is currently plying his trade at Sunderland is the only one in this list who could increase his tally.
