Brighton 2-0 Burnley β€” xTears 10.01 (03/01/26)

Brighton won 2-0 against Burnley on 3 January 2026 during Matchday 20 of the Premier League, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 10.01 xTears.

Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Brighton still ran through G. Rutter 29' goal (+1.41 xT) and Y. Ayari 47' goal (+1.20 xT).

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