Brighton 1-1 Leeds: Vušković levels after Bogle's early strike

Key numbers

  • xG per shot 0.11 v 0.25: Leeds had better chances
  • Leeds led for about 56 minutes; equalised in 71'
  • Brighton possession 67%, below 73.3% season average

Leeds struck first, Brighton answered late

Jayden Bogle put Leeds ahead in the 15th minute, and Luka Vušković did not level for Brighton until the 71st. Leeds spent about 56 minutes in front across the 90, and the draw leaves each side with a point. Brighton, in other words, were chasing the match for most of it.

Brighton's 20 shots carried little threat

Nine of Brighton's 20 attempts came from outside the box, and their average shot was worth just 0.11 xG. Leeds took ten, all inside the area, at 0.25 xG each. Volume belonged to Brighton, quality to Leeds. Brighton's 67% possession was also below their average of 73.3% across four matches this season, and their 522 passes fell short of a usual 673.5.

Leeds got more from far fewer shots

Half of Leeds' ten shots were on target, against five of Brighton's 20. Even so, Leeds' 2.49 xG produced a single goal, so neither finished well enough to take the win. Bart Verbruggen made three saves and James Trafford four. Olivier Boscagli's five key passes show how much of Brighton's creativity ran through him.

One goal reset the afternoon

Vušković's equaliser, set up by Maxim De Cuyper, was worth +1.0 FN xPts to Brighton. Leeds' opener was worth +0.8, with Bogle the player most responsible for it. A point apiece was the outcome: Brighton climb to eighth on four points, Leeds to seventh on five.

Player of the match
Luka Vušković 8.1Dominant

He scored once, won 6 of 11 duels and completed 56 of 63 passes.

Most of his FN Score came from attack: his only shot was on target and became the 71st-minute equaliser, ending roughly 56 minutes of Brighton trailing. He also made two tackles, an interception and a block across 90 minutes. Few defenders contribute at both ends of the pitch so clearly in a single match.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

15' Jayden Bogle Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Ao Tanaka +0.2 +0.8
71' Luka Vušković Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Maxim De Cuyper +0.3 +1.0
Brighton Expected (last two seasons) 1.9Own moments +1.0Opponent moments −0.8Time effect −1.1→ League points won 1
Leeds Expected (last two seasons) 0.9Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.4Time effect +0.7→ League points won 1

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
