    For context just want to point out that a keeper leading progressive passing yards (4 out of top 5 in league are keepers) is very normal. The final 3rd entries is particularly impressive though.

      Yes it is - but still indicative of the style of the game. Hoofing it up to Havertz and Jesus in the final third is how we killed the game in the end, so it makes sense that that’s where the final third passes came from.

      Bit more context, he had the 2nd worst pass completion % in the team at 67% (Jesus being below him on 65%). This along with that stat above goes to show that he played a lot of long balls and while some were very good, a lot were not.

      Ultimately this is a stat that can tell you more about how we played against City than anything interesting about Rayas ability.
