Thanks (as always)!

One question - if the Daggers captain hadn't turned it into his own net, would this have been counted as a big/good chance? Or did it get 0 xG not because it was an OG but because it wasn't considered a very good chance? I thought it looked nailed on for a goal had Wright not got there first.

All OG's have no xG value. If we gave an xG value for own goals we would have to basically include values for every back pass or clearance towards you own goal. Same with penalties, I always include them because it is an event that will impact the game but you couldn't put an xG value on an innocuous looking hand ball or foul where no attempt on goal has been made.

Thanks for the explanation.
