Leeds United currently boast one of the more prolific goalscoring records in the division this season, with 24 scored in 17 games, it averages out at 1.4 per game.
That falls some way off Liverpool's 36, but remains on par with the likes of mid-table regulars Southampton, who themselves have netted 25 times.
The Saints and the Whites share more than that in common though, they are two of three clubs to have scored five or more goals from outside the penalty area this season - a surprising statistic.
Aston Villa lead the way on six, although that is little surprise due to the attacking wonder at Dean Smith's disposal with complete forward Ollie Watkins, maverick Jack Grealish and nifty Anwar El Ghazi to count on.
To the same degree it is unsurprising Southampton are also high up in this table, owing to the dead-ball proficiency of James Ward-Prowse, who it can be argued is the best free-kick taker in the Premier League.
Leeds United though, are not blessed with a bumper attacking roster, or a set-piece specialist. Their five goals from outside the area have come from four different players.
In fact, two of Stuart Dallas' three Premier League goals have been from outside the 18-yard area, most recently finding the net against Manchester United. The other came in the 4-1 defeat by Leicester City as his cross looped all the way in past Kasper Schmeichel.
Jack Harrison's strike against Newcastle United last week was perhaps the pick of the bunch of long-rangers Leeds have netted, but none has been more important than Raphinha's; the solitary goal in a 1-0 triumph at Goodison Park.
Patrick Bamford is the other player to have scored from outside the area, a neat shimmy and finish against Aston Villa.
It is perhaps surprising that under a manager famed for his diligence and minute assessment of where his side can improve, Leeds have scored so frequently from low xG opportunities.
Teams are more likely to score inside the box, from positions closer to goal, and many managers stress this to their players, discouraging long-range efforts in favour of shooting from better positions.
It is a concept observed in basketball, with the shot locations in the NBA changing considerably in the past 20 years as players began to understood where they would have a better chance of scoring from.
This led to an eventual reduction in players taking on what was known as a 'mid-shot' which can be easily blocked or intercepted.
In the same way, footballers tend to prefer shooting from closer to goal nowadays as there is a greater understanding of the likelihood of scoring.
This makes Leeds' current status as long-range hotshots an interesting observation, and one that bucks the trend.
