Wolves 1-4 Brighton — xTears 22.48 (19/08/23)

Brighton turned the 1-4 over Wolves on 19 August 2023 into a rout during Matchday 2 of the Premier League, although the flow stayed more open than the scoreline suggests. Total damage: 22.48 xTears.

S. March carried much of the damage, with the match first opening through K. Mitoma 15' goal (+1.41 xT); S. March 51' goal (+1.20 xT) then widened it further.

There was no real calm here, just one momentum swing after another. The xTears split stayed shared without one crushing advantage. The bench changed the match in one move: Hwang Hee-Chan and Pablo Sarabia at 61'. The match lost its cool with 11 yellows and 1 red. Matheus Nunes eventually walked for a second booking.
