Newcastle 5-0 Crystal Palace — xTears 18.33 (16/04/25)

Newcastle turned the 5-0 over Crystal Palace on 16 April 2025 into a rout during Matchday 29 of the Premier League, although the flow stayed more open than the scoreline suggests. Total damage: 18.33 xTears.

The rout started to open through J. Murphy 14' goal (+1.41 xT) and widened for good with H. Barnes 45+3' goal (+1.20 xT).

This was a proper rollercoaster, with the game swinging all over the place. The xTears split stayed shared without one crushing advantage. The pain was self-inflicted, and it stung: missed penalty (E. Eze at 36') and own goal (M. Guéhi at 38').
