Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea — xTears 9.81 (16/03/25)

Arsenal won 1-0 against Chelsea on 16 March 2025 during Matchday 29 of the Premier League, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 9.81 xTears.

Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Arsenal still ran through Mikel Merino at 20' goal (+1.41 xT) and Pedro Neto at 52' yellow card (+0.93 xT).

The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Arsenal punished better without fully owning the emotional volume.
