However Turnbull's goal is attributed with an xG of 0.94 which will be in regards to the tap in and McGregor has been credited with the assist. So does McGregor get 0.94 xA? That wouldn't be an accurate reflection even though it was a tremendous pass. That highlights the intricacies of measuring xG.
