Morgan Rogers, wow!
Had - maybe - a five-yard channel to play that in, on the turn, with his wrong foot.

I guess I should share my Python package, ScraperFC, on here now that I'm back on here more people from the soccer analytics community are here.
It scrapes free data from FBref, Sofascore, Understat, Capology, Transfermarkt, and ClubELO!

*it is not possible to plot the location of players not involved on the ball
You're right, since the data used for the graphic only contains information happening on the ball (event data), it is only possible to plot the location of players not involved on the ball.
Definitely, but in the 101st minute

Proud of playing a broken spanish translator for my Colombian friends, at yesterday's Christmas party.

!boooo
Thank you as always!
Tottenham Hotspur's buildup to their 2nd goal vs Crystal Palace.
Build up to Tottenham's 2nd goal vs Crystal Palace included a sequence of 12* consecutive successful passes. All started when Vicario regained the ball after Tyrick Mitchell's unsuccessful pass.
* 11 by Opta's data, as Maddison's pass to Brennan Johnson got touched by Joel Ward.
He has played as the #6 for PSG before, I think
Yves Bissouma's passing, carrying and shooting vs Luton Town
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's passing, carrying and shooting vs Fulham
Bissouma's performance vs Luton & Hojbjerg's performance vs Fulham showed different #6 approaches against a deep block.
One likes to dribble & carry the ball through pressure, the other is very good at long range passing.
Diverse skillset, important aspect in squad building.
Tottenham's sequence against Aston Villa in the first half, leading to Jessica Naz's shot.
Tottenham's sequence against Aston Villa in the second half, leading to the corner for Tottenham's 3rd goal
Tottenham Hotspur women had 2 brilliant shot-ending passing sequences in their recent win vs Aston Villa.
They were different in terms of the approach used to beat Villa's press, but similar based on the idea.
