21	Note:
22	This data is generated by myself, I do not take it from another source. This is achieved by:
23	- Scraping publicly available text commentary and using regular expressions to extract details regarding an attempt in a match.
24	- Using this converted data for historical seasons to generate the likelihood of scoring (expected goals) for current games based on the type of attempt
25
26	Whilst I think the xG data I produce is a good approximation of sources such as Statsbomb, Opta, etc. they are obviously the better ones to use should you have access to them.

28	If you do use this data for any analysis or plots, a reference to this data source would be much appreciated.
