I watched the game and thought Chelsea thoroughly deserved the victory. Not just on balance of play, but on quality of chances too. I like stats, but that one isn’t a reflection of the game I watched.You can mock for this sort of stuff - but xG is an interesting stat because basically what that’s telling you is that Burnley were wasteful with their chances and Chelsea scored from areas you wouldn’t expect.
Watch the highlights and that’s exactly what it was. It’s a much better reflection on the game than shots or possession, that’s for certain.
