Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea — xTears 15.67 (01/03/26)

Arsenal won 2-1 against Chelsea on 1 March 2026 during Matchday 28 of the Premier League, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 15.67 xTears.

Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Arsenal still ran through W. Saliba 21' goal (+1.41 xT) and J. Timber 66' goal (+1.61 xT).

The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Arsenal punished better without fully owning the emotional volume. The pain was self-inflicted, and it stung: own goal (P. Hincapié at 45'). The match lost its cool with 6 yellows and 1 red. Pedro Neto eventually walked for a second booking.
