One of the hallmarks of Napoli’s title-winning side was their dead ball prowess – both when attacking and defending. Luciano Spalletti’s team scored from more set pieces in Serie A 2022/23 (26 times) and only conceded from five free kicks, corners or throw ins. Corner kicks were Napoli’s most potent weapon in this regarding, scoring from 17, a record in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
Napoli also hold the all-time record for goals scored from headers (both from dead balls and from open play): 17 goals in Serie A 2022/23, a record for the club in a single Serie A season since their return to the competition in 2007/08 and seasonal record in the major five European tournaments.
Here's the full list of teams who have scored the most headers:
| Team | Headed goals |
| Napoli | 17 |
| Tottenham Hotspur | 16 |
| Fulham | 15 |
| Brest | 14 |
| Frieburg | 13 |
| Liverpool | 13 |
| Union Berlin | 13 |
| Mallorca | 13 |
