The 26-Shot Phenomenon
26 shots in a single 45-minute half stands as the peak shot volume recorded in any Premier League match this season. When both sides trade high-tempo transitions, goalkeepers Bernd Leno and Senne Lammens faced an attempt every 104 seconds.
- High tempo: 15 strikes launched from inside the 18-yard box.
- Reflex workload: 12 attempts on target required decisive handling or parrying.
- Clean sheet preservation: Both keepers combined to overperform expected goals (xG).
