Rating brought into the match, expected goals a match as the rating counts them: Sunderland creates 0.96 and allows 1.32; Brighton creates 1.35 and allows 1.18.

The result the chances deserved

From the two sides' shots taken together: Sunderland win 25 per cent, draw 33, Brighton win 42. Sunderland deserved 1.1 points and took 0; Brighton deserved 1.6 and took 3.

Each shot scores with its own probability, independently; two shots in one passage of play both count although only one could have scored, so a match with rebounds is slightly overstated.
