Is Son one of the best finishers EVER? Let’s look at some data. 👇
Update: https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=thelastboyscout.uk%2fassets/img/son_xg_stats.webp
We use actual goals minus expected goals (xG) as a proxy for finishing skill. Players who consistently score more than their xG means they are scoring goals other players would miss. Generally, only the most elite goalscorers *consistently* outperform their xG.
And I can find no player who consistently beats Son. It’s astonishing.
If he carries on at current rates, he’s on for a year broadly similar to his golden boot winning 21-22 season.

@hallenbeck @coys @spurs for him to win the golden boot with Haarland in the mix would be simply outrageous and firmly cement his global superstar status.
