Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Easlebden scored five from an xG of 3.64, finishing roughly 1.36 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is a clear over-performance, though 18 shots and 12 on target point to sustained pressure rather than a scoreline built from a handful of improbable efforts. Pateven Wanderers managed four shots, two on target and 0.71 xG, but no goals; their limited attacking return made a comeback unlikely once the hosts had struck three times in the first 16 minutes. Possession was even at 50% each, so the difference was not territorial ownership so much as what Easlebden did when chances arrived.

No Pateven Wanderers players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The five-goal margin was supported by the shot count and the decisive start, even if Easlebden converted more generously than its xG suggests. Pateven Wanderers matched the hosts for possession and edged pass accuracy, but those measures brought little threat: the visitors finished with four shots against 18 and were booked five times. Easlebden added two second-half goals to the three-goal burst before the break, leaving the score at 5-0. The balance of possession offered a small statistical puzzle; the scoreline supplied the rather larger answer.
