Burnwinter Big win on xG as well, they can have no complaints. We are and were far better.
Did we? I thought we outplayed them for long stretches but I don't recall much chance creation, apart from that one for Saka, which he really should have buried. If ever there was a game to highlight the fine margins in football, this was it.
This game kind of had me wondering about our pre-season because we looked absolutely gassed after 70 minutes, and it's not like we were gegenpressing them for 70 minutes.
I said after the Liverpool game last week that that's the sort of win that can really give a side a lot of belief, and this one is definitely the same. Naturally, our next game is at fucking Goodison Park. Maybe Havertz can score the winner there, that'd be apt for this strange season so far.
