Right here’s the xG from Leeds. It ended 4-1, but it surely wasn’t that one-sided, in the identical means, that the W Ham sport wasn’t a 4-0 defeat. Leeds began the brighter with two half probabilities for Roca (1 in 11) and Harrison (1 in 9) earlier than we had a shot. Vina had an acrobatic shot (1 in 10) earlier than AFCB went one up, Billing had a shot blocked (1 in 7) which fell to Lerma who used two defenders as a display and bent it into Meslier’s prime left nook (1 in 16). 4 minutes later it was 2-0, Meslier flapping at a nook and prodding it to Lerma 8 yards out who smashed it house (1 in 2). Leeds pulled one again quickly after when Kelly was left with two to mark and Bamford, who Kelly had been marking headed in (2 in 5). At half time the xG was AFCB 0.89 Leeds 0.76. The second half began with fast probabilities Gnonto (1in 10), Christie (1 in 7) and Summerville (1 in 8) earlier than Billing had an opportunity rated at 1 in 2, though the algorithm ignores the very fact it was an overhead kick. 4 minutes later it was 3-1 although, with Solanke working onto a deflected cross to complete (2 in 5). The sport went flat for practically 10 minutes earlier than Leeds had 4 fast probabilities (all within the 72nd minute) with one of the best falling to Koch from a nook (1 in 8). These had been Leeds’ final probabilities within the sport. For a crew preventing for his or her life towards a crew who had let leads slip that is worrying for the crew from Yorkshire. AFCB completed stronger with Moore having a good-headed probability (2 in 5) earlier than Semenyo made it 4, after good work from Anthony, though Meslier will probably be very disenchanted (1 in 20). The choice supply of xG had the sport nearer with AFCB 1.96 and Leeds 1.67.
