Non-Penalty xG and Assisted Goals
Lukaku hasn’t played as much football over the last eighteen months so it would be unfair to do a direct goal and assist comparison between the two.
If we look deeper at the nonpenalty xG and assisted goals metrics in the league for the two players from the start of last season, though, they have very similar figures. Vlahovic managed a combined non-penalty xG and assisted goals average of 0.52 per 90. Lukaku’s number was 0.53.
