Is Son one of the best finishers EVER? Let’s look at some data. 👇
Update: https://thelastboyscout.uk/assets/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.
