With Spurs generating an expected goals figure of 4.59 at Old Trafford, it’s evident Manchester United's defense faltered significantly, allowing more quality chances than typical.
Everton’s fortunate 2-1 win over Crystal Palace revealed the disparity in quality, with their 0.89 xG underscoring their luck amid Palace's superior 17 shots.
Brentford’s struggle to secure even one point against West Ham, evidenced by an xG of just 0.37, demonstrates their reliance on an early goal.
The clear trend this matchday shows teams like Everton and Brentford benefited from luck rather than skill, while Manchester United's struggles revealed systemic issues.
