After an enthralling Premier League season, we have analysed the key stats powered by Oracle and will show you in a series of articles revealing which players have run furthest or fastest, had the most shots or displayed ruthlessness in front of goal over the course of the last 10 months, not only overall but at each of the 20 clubs.
Underperforming on Expected Goals
In terms of underperforming from Expected Goals (xG) Everton striker Dominic Calvert Lewin endured a tough season.
Not only was it hit by injury, but when he did play, Calvert-Lewin’s seven goals were almost six fewer than the goals he was expected to score from the chances he received. In second place was Brennan Johnson, in his debut season for Tottenham Hotspur, while third was Darwin Nunez, who hit the woodwork nine times for Liverpool in 2023/24.
