5 Highest Quality Chances from Premier League Week 2

I really liked how this turned out last week so I am going to go through this again.

These are the top 5 highest quality chances produced in the Premier League this week with the inputs that went into them and the xG for each chance.

5. Richarlison vs Bournemouth




0.60 xG: Shot from feet, from very close range, from open play, classified as a big chance.

Not all high quality shots are pretty, this helps prove it.

4. Ben Mee vs West Brom



0.61 xG, Shot from head, from very close range, from a corner, assisted with a cross, classified as a big chance.

Headers are hard part 1.

3. Phil Jones vs Swansea City



0.65 xG: Shot from head, from very close range, from a set piece situation, assisted with a cross, classified as a big chance.

A beautiful delivery from Juan Mata on this free kick. Headers are hard part 2.

2. Joel Matip vs Crystal Palace



0.65 xG: Shot from head, from very close range, from a set piece situation, assisted with a cross, classified as a big chance.

Headers are hard part 3.

1. Eric Bailly vs Swansea City



0.79 xG: Shot from feet, from very close range, from a corner, classified as a big chance. 

This is probably underestimating the chance quality because just getting his foot to the shot pretty much means that this is a goal. For those curious Paul Pogba's free header that was saved was a 0.25 xG shot.

5 Highest Quality Chances from Premier League Week 1

*Note I am not sure if this will be a reoccurring item or not but I thought I would at least give it a shot for week 1 and see if I like how it turns out.*

These are the top 5 highest quality chances produced in the Premier League this week with the inputs that went into them and the xG for each chance.

5. Mohamed Salah vs Watford


0.6 xG: Shot from feet, from very close range, classified as a big chance.

That pass by Roberto Firmino really makes this goal. Holly crap that was nice. 

4. Shinji Okazaki vs Arsenal


0.61 xG: Shot from head, from very close range, from a corner, assisted by a headed pass, classified as a big chance.

That's some poor goal keeping.

3. Stefano Okaka vs Liverpool


0.61 xG: Shot from head, from very close range, from a corner, assisted from a cross, classified as a big chance.

2. Miguel Britos vs Liverpool


0.61 xG: Shot from head, from very close range, from a corner, regular assist, classified as a big chance. *Also offside

1. Romelu Lukaku vs West Ham


0.82 xG: Shot from foot, from the center of the box, following a fast break, assisted with a through ball, classified as a big chance.

Marcus Rashford did most of the hard work for this goal with his run and beautiful through ball.
