On SkySport's graphics of Possession, xG, shots etc. they mentioned that no Guardiola side had ever had eight big chances created against them.
I'm not sure how a big chance is defined, but it must mean we did good.

We are officially f***ing brilliant!

I've just looked at the Opta website for the official definition of a Big Chance:

"A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter. Penalties are always considered big chances."

Pedro, who got a push in the back just before he missed his shot with a one on one, Mitoma when he was through and shot at the keeper are two. Mitoma also had an age to bring a ball down but made a headed back pass to the keeper. Rutter header over the bar.

We definitely had close to that. We were counting them up just before the first goal.

+ The Mitoma cross that landed at Welbeck's feet that wasn't anticipated.
