Rating brought into the match, expected goals a match as the rating counts them: Coventry creates 0.82 and allows 1.16; Sunderland creates 0.90 and allows 0.99.

The result the chances deserved

From the two sides' shots taken together: Coventry win 22 per cent, draw 30, Sunderland win 48. Coventry deserved 0.9 points and took 3; Sunderland deserved 1.8 and took 0.

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.
