Tottenham’s youngest ever player
Tottenham’s youngest ever goalscorer
After scoring Juventus’ third goal in the match against Sassuolo on Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo became the joint top scorer for official goals in football history.
Forget Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski. Tottenham’s Son Heung-min has delivered a statistical anomaly that sets him out as bar far the deadliest finisher in Europe.
The way Son is performing in comparison to his expected goals (xG) is simply remarkable and eclipses all of football’s top marksmen since 2016.
Perceived wisdom is that eventually, players and teams performing above or below their xG will eventually turn the tide and the score will be about average, regressing to the mean.
Interesting way to deduce perceived wisdom with regards to deviation to xG regressing to the mean.
