Alright let’s dig into how I tackled finding Leeds United vs Swansea City stats and highlights this week. Started simple – just punched “Leeds Swansea stats” into Google and wow, immediate overwhelm. So many sites throwing numbers at me without clear organization.
The Stats Hunt Begins
First target was possession stats. Remembered BBC Sport usually has clean layouts but took me four clicks just to find the match center. Annoying! Then WhoScored had this sweet visual for shot locations – dark rectangles showing Leeds mostly shooting from outside the box. Made me mutter “no wonder they drew 2-2” while squinting at my phone.
Key things I scribbled down:
- Possession: Swansea actually dominated at 58%
- Corners: Leeds had 7 but wasted every damn one
- That crucial stat? Fouls. Leeds committed 14 – James yellow card was inevitable
Highlights Headache
Now the real struggle began. YouTube search showed me garbage compilations set to techno music. Scrolled past six videos with fake “HIGHLIGHTS” thumbnails before finding the EFL official channel buried on page two. Their video cut straight to goals without all the messy ads – beautiful! Took screenshots of Summerville’s 37th minute curler for my group chat.
What finally worked:
- Searching “Swansea Leeds official highlights” not just “highlights”
- Sorting by upload date not relevance
- Ignoring any clip shorter than 4 minutes
Ended up spending 40 minutes total when I only budgeted 15. But hey – got the stat that matters (xG difference was bigger than I expected!) and saved that Summerville goal clip to show my kid later. Next time? Going straight to league sources instead of drowning in Google chaos.
