Finishing vs expected goals

1 goals · 1.38 xG · -0.38 goals vs xG

5 matches with both lineup and xG data in this overall split. This compares the same games, not unmatched full-season totals.

League averages use players in Premiership · 2026/2027 with at least 270 minutes in this overall split, and only those whose provider recorded that stat. Percentile is shown when this player also has 270 minutes and at least five players qualify; it is the share with a lower per-90 rate. “Top” is the remaining share, including tied rates. Badge colours mark top 10%, 25%, 50% and the rest; the number is the result. Missing stats are never treated as zero.
