Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero may have hit a hat-trick against Chelsea in his team’s 6-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium but he also missed an absolute sitter.Found at the back post, all the Argentinian had to do was slot home with Kepa Arrizabalaga towards the other side of his goal and no defender near him.Yet in trying to control his effort and place it close to the near post he ended up rustling the side netting.

What is expected goals?
- Expected goals (xG) is a statistic used to work out how many goals should be scored in a match.
- Every single shot is awarded an xG value based on the difficulty of the attempt, with factors including distance from goal, type of shot and number of defenders present affecting the value.
- The higher the xG of a particular shot, the more likely a goal should be scored from that shot.
- The xG value of every shot in a game is then used to calculate the expected goals in a particular match.
