This Premier League Expected Goals report on Brighton 3 Newcastle 1, very revealing stats.
Liverpool 2.73 v Villa 0.62 In all of these last four Premier League games, the teams with the superior expected goals stats, picked up all three points.
The Expected Goals stats show 1.32 v 0.90 in Brighton’s favour, which pretty much summed up how I felt the match went. Newcastle not great but still created a fair few decent situations, whilst for much of the game Brighton were their typical selves, playing a lot of good football but when getting in the final third they struggled to create clear chances. Indeed, it was poor defending from both Pope and Tonali that gifted the opening goal, then a wicked deflection off Schar for the third.
Once again, it isn’t that I think Newcastle United deserved anything out of this match, but I do think the scoreline doesn’t reflect the game overall in terms of chances created and goal threat. It was a poor to mediocre away display from Newcastle but if they had taken one of their chances in the first half then certainly I don’t think we would have lost, similarly I think it would also have been at least a point for NUFC if they hadn’t gifted that opener.
