Aston Villa 4-3 Sunderland — xTears 18.73 (19/04/26)
Aston Villa won 4-3 against Sunderland on 19 April 2026 during Matchday 33 of the Premier League, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 18.73 xTears.
Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Aston Villa still ran through O. Watkins 2' goal (+1.41 xT) and W. Isidor 87' goal (+1.84 xT).
The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Aston Villa punished better without fully owning the emotional volume. The bench changed the match in one move: T. Abraham and L. Digne at 90'.
