Practice set out with Y shape. Players on each cone and goalkeeper in.
1 plays to 2 who checks away and receives side on, 2 then drives towards 3 before slipping the ball into 3s path after he bends his run.
Variation- 1 plays to 2 who bounces a pass back and bends run, 1 plays into 2s path who then combines with 3 for shot.
Timing of pass, good body shape to receive, timing of runs, quick tempo play in 2/3 touch max. Quick finishing 1st time finish
