Only one man beats Harry Kane in list of worst 10 PL finishers owned by their xG

We’re talking non-penalty G-xG, which is basically how many more or less (non-penalty) Premier League goals a player has scored above or below the xG of his chances. So in short, who is scoring more goals than he should and who is scoring less?

We have the over-achievers here so it’s time to look at those who are not hitting the heights they should. We start with the best of the worst and end with the real wasters.

Statistics are taken from the brilliant FB.Ref

10) Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City)

Non-penalty goals: 7

Non-penalty xG: 9.4

Non-penalty G-xG: -2-4

And he would be much higher/lower down this list had he not scored four goals v Watford from an xG of 2.0. He could be missing chances for Arsenal next season.

9) Jakub M0der (Brighton)

Non-penalty goals: 0

Non-penalty xG: 2.4

Non-penalty G-xG: -2.4

Two seasons in the Premier League without a single goal and an anterior cruciate ligament injury means that is unlikely to change any time soon.

8) Mathias Jensen (Brentford)

Non-penalty goals: 0

Non-penalty xG: 2.5

Non-penalty G-xG: -2.5

A whole load of long-distance shots ending up in the crowd for the Dane, whose last league goal came in February 2021.

7) Jay Rodriguez (Burnley)

Non-penalty goals: 2

Non-penalty xG: 4.7

Non-penalty G-xG: -2.7
