The reverse statistic is also available – the number of goals conceded in first and second halves.
Arsenal are second from bottom with 43% of their goals conceded in the second half with four and three.
Birmingham City are top with 88% of their goals conceded in the second half with one and seven. They clearly drop their performance level after half-time.
