Tottenham came back to win 2-1 against Sheffield Utd on 16 September 2023 during Matchday 5 of the Premier League. Total damage: 24.02 xTears.

The real swing for Tottenham arrived through Richarlison 90+8' goal (+2.02 xT) and D. Kulusevski 90+10' goal (+2.20 xT), the sequence that changed who owned the match.

The match changed hands after the first blow, and Tottenham's comeback ended up outweighing the opening phase. The bench changed the match in one move: Richarlison and I. Perišić at 90+8'. The knife twist arrived right at the death: late winner (D. Kulusevski at 90+10'). The match lost its cool with 13 yellows and 1 red. O. McBurnie eventually walked for a second booking.
