West Brom 2-3 Middlesbrough — xTears 13.37 (16/01/26)

Middlesbrough won 2-3 against West Brom on 16 January 2026 during Matchday 27 of EFL Championship, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 13.37 xTears.

Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Middlesbrough still ran through C. Taylor 42' own goal (+1.92 xT) and J. Wallace 80' goal (+1.65 xT).

The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Middlesbrough punished better without fully owning the emotional volume. D. Burgzorg came off the bench and delivered the winning swing. The knife twist arrived right at the death: late winner (D. Burgzorg at 90').
