Rating brought into the match, expected goals a match as the rating counts them: Man City creates 1.83 and allows 1.01; Ipswich creates 0.97 and allows 1.43.

The result the chances deserved

From the two sides' shots taken together: Man City win 86 per cent, draw 10, Ipswich win 4. Man City deserved 2.7 points and took 3; Ipswich deserved 0.2 and took 0.

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.
