Rating brought into the match, expected goals a match as the rating counts them: Coventry creates 0.95 and allows 1.36; Brighton creates 1.30 and allows 1.20.

The result the chances deserved

From the two sides' shots taken together: Coventry win 17 per cent, draw 20, Brighton win 62. Coventry deserved 0.7 points and took 0; Brighton deserved 2.1 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.
