Rating brought into the match, expected goals a match as the rating counts them: Ipswich creates 0.95 and allows 1.46; Liverpool creates 1.60 and allows 1.17.

The result the chances deserved

From the two sides' shots taken together: Ipswich win 41 per cent, draw 33, Liverpool win 26. Ipswich deserved 1.6 points and took 0; Liverpool deserved 1.1 and took 3.

Each shot scores with its own probability, independently; two shots in one passage of play both count although only one could have scored, so a match with rebounds is slightly overstated.
