Other data stories

Throughout the season, the Bees have continued their seasons-long trend of (mostly) limiting themselves to high value scoring opportunities, taken quite close to the opposing goal. Schade's remarkable chip from outside the box against Bournemouth provides one of the counter-points to the argument. But generally, the Bees have excelled at creating chances, currently sitting third in the league for expected goals. The Bees are tied with Brighton for most shots taken from inside the box (13) and have the second lowest total of shots taken from outside the box (4).

This shot map includes goals from both the Premier League and the EFL Cup. The pattern is clear.
