After the game, it was quite surprising to see what Chelsea’s xG was. Chelsea scored five times, yet the chances they had were not clear-cut ones.
By the full-time whistle, the Blues had amassed an xG total of just 1.17! It is incredible to think they could score five goals from a bunch of shots worth just 1.17 xG.
With ball strikers as good as Henderson, Rogers and Joao Pedro, though, maybe it should not be too much of a surprise.
