Southampton 3-2 Watford — xTears 15.01 (13/04/24)
Southampton won 3-2 against Watford on 13 April 2024 during Matchday 43 of EFL Championship, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 15.01 xTears.
Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Southampton still ran through W. Smallbone 1' goal (+1.41 xT) and I. Koné 85' goal (+1.84 xT).
The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Southampton punished better without fully owning the emotional volume.
