Where have all these statistical phrases come from and being a simple football fan can someone explain what they mean and why do we need them ?

I think they used to be called
won the ball
passed the ball forward
beat a man
You need them so the people providing and analysing all this data can get paid! XD
Don’t forget
Won a penalty
Entitled to go down
Plus others from the lexicon of cheating
I agree, penalties should be conceded not won, although I think Trevor Phillips 'won' quite a few for us back in the day.
(Just noticed that TP played alongside Ian Rush at Chester City for a few months in 1980).
Bale won a penalty.
