Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Swansea City 1-1 Everton. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Jordan Ayew 71', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Swansea City led Shots on target 7-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Swansea City also shaded Corners 6-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Swansea City the favourite at 39.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
