Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Bursidge scored six from an xG of 3.79, an impressive return above the chances’ estimated quality. The gap suggests excellent finishing on the day, though 13 shots on target from 18 attempts also points to sustained pressure rather than a scoreline built from one unlikely strike. Baston Town managed three shots, two on target and 0.61 xG, so the visitors created little to trouble the hosts despite taking eight corners. Bursidge had 55% possession and converted control into a decisive spell before half-time; after that, the second-half goals made an already lopsided contest unmistakable.

• No Baston Town players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The six goals were spread across the match rather than confined to the early flurry: Bursidge added three more after the break, with Thomas Spencer, Yahaya Okon and Cameron Evans finding the net. The hosts also registered four fewer corners than Baston Town, but their shot count was 18 to three. It is a neat reminder that corners are a measure of how often a team reaches the byline, not a promise of what happens next.

There were three yellow cards for Bursidge before the first goal, so the afternoon was not entirely without friction. Still, the hosts recovered from that untidy opening stretch and played with enough quality in attack to win 6 - 0. Baston Town had some set-piece activity and two shots on target, but little else to balance the contest; Bursidge finished with six goals, a clear margin, and a performance that outpaced even its strong xG.
