Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Patent Albion scored seven from 4.49 xG, beating the chance-quality estimate by 2.51 goals. That is substantial over-performance, driven by a five-goal contribution from Phillip Lewis and a home side that made its pressure count repeatedly. Cothwes, by contrast, finished with 0.26 xG and no goals from its single shot. The numbers describe a contest with a sharp imbalance in opportunities, not merely an unusually generous finishing day: Patent Albion recorded 15 shots on target to the visitors’ one. Possession was close at 52%-48%, but the attacking output was not. The hosts were far more effective at turning their share of the ball into attempts, and Cothwes had little chance to change the game once the early goals began arriving.

• No Cothwes players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The final score, Patent Albion 7 - 0 Cothwes, reflects both the hosts’ superiority in front of goal and the visitors’ lack of attacking volume. The near-even possession and passing accuracy offer a reminder that control of the ball is not the same as control of a match. Patent Albion produced the chances, put 15 attempts on target, and finished far beyond its xG; Cothwes managed one shot and no goal. After seven conceded, the visitors’ defensive afternoon had become less a matter of holding the line than of finding out how many times the line could be asked to hold it.
