"Morgan Whittaker scored twice as Middlesbrough routed a poor Southampton 4-0 to move second in the Championship on Sunday. All of Boro's goals at the Riverside Stadium arrived in 22 second-half minutes, with the hosts having failed to score or win in their previous four outings. Whittaker scored from Boro's first shot on target in the 54th minute and, after Sam Silvera celebrated a rare goal, doubled his personal tally when finishing from Aidan Morris' centre."
"Data Debrief: Whittaker and Devine get the shots in Whittaker was a constant thorn in the Saints' side, finishing the match with six shots, four of which came inside the box and two of which were on target, and outperformed his individual expected goals (xG) of 0.93. It was a similar tale from Preston ace Dobbin, who managed five shots in total, four touches inside the opposition box, and three final-third entries in an all-action display."
