Craven Cottage- 12 September, 2020
A strong start to the new season from Arsenal, who comfortably beat Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage
Here is a look at the xG stats from Liverpool vs Leeds in the PL on 12 September, 2020. LUFC gave the defending champions a real run for their money, with LFC edging this clash thanks to a late penalty from Mo Salah. Data has been compiled from two different sources- both shown here.
Model 1 | xG Liverpool 3.12-0.33 Leeds (Actual score LFC 4-3 LUFC)
xG of individual goals in LFC v Leeds
Liverpool 1-0 Leeds Salah 4′ penalty goal xG 0.80
Liverpool 1-1 Leeds Harrison 12′ goal xG 0.05
Liverpool 2-1 Leeds Van Dijk 20′ goal xG 0.37
Liverpool 2-2 Leeds Bamford 30′ goal xG 0.06
Liverpool 3-2 Leeds Salah 33′ goal xG 0.07
Liverpool 3-3 Leeds Klisch 66′ goal xG 0.07
Liverpool 4-3 Leeds Salah 88′ penalty goal xG 0.80
Obviously the two penalties (with a combined 1.60 xG) do aid Liverpool’s expected goals stats here, but they did have 22 shots to LUFC’s 6. All of Leeds’ goals had a low xG, indicating how well they were taken.
Leeds however did have more possession (52%) and passes- a fine feat for them against a team of Liverpool’s calibre.
Here is a look at the xG stats from Fulham vs Arsenal on September 12, 2020- the first game of the 20/21 Prem season. It was a bit of a rude reintroduction to the top flight for Scott Parker’s men, who were outclassed by the Gunners.
xG Fulham 0.16-2.21 Arsenal (Actual score Fulham 0-3 Arsenal)
Individual xG of goals in Fulham vs Arsenal 0-3
Fulham 0-1 Arsenal Lacazette goal xG 0.67
Fulham 0-2 Arsenal Gabriel goal xG 0.44
Fulham 0-3 Arsenal Auba goal xG 0.05
Not surprisingly, Aubameyang’s stunner had the lowest xG
Willian had a 8th minute missed chance xG (0.68)- Lacazette scored from his shot rebound. The Brazilian’s 27th minute free kick that struck the post had a XG of 0.15
Not much by way of chances for Fulham- their best was perhaps one that didn’t register on the xG scoreboard (Kamara trying to round up the keeper after a mix up between Gabriel and Bernd Leno in the 2nd minute)
