This defender didn’t have his best game against Manchester United…

Brentford fell 2-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Keane Lewis-Potter completing the full 90 minutes on the left. Listed as a defender who can play higher up, he offered width and running but limited end product. His Sofascore Rating was 5.7, below his season average, in a game where fine margins told. Here is how his Premier League performance looked by the numbers.
Role and activity on the left
Operating on Brentford’s left side, Lewis-Potter logged 52 touches and stayed involved across both halves of the pitch. He made 15 ball carries for a total distance of 136 meters, with three progressive carries adding 34 meters upfield. His longest progressive run traveled 12.3 meters, a snapshot of how he tried to push Brentford forward down the flank.
The heat map and touch zones show a steady presence near the touchline, which fits his DL/LW profile. Fans can explore that map in detail on Sofascore.
Passing profile at Old Trafford
He attempted 37 passes and completed 32, a solid 86 percent accuracy that sat above his season average of 76.9 percent. In his own half he went 11 of 12, while in the opposition half he finished 21 of 25. The longer distribution was used sparingly, completing 1 of 2 long balls.
Crossing was less accurate on the day, with 1 of 4 finding a teammate, compared to his season cross accuracy of 33.9 percent. His expected assists came in at 0.04, which reflects limited chance creation despite decent territory.
Final-third threat and shot quality
Lewis-Potter fired two shots, getting one on target with another blocked. His expected goals measured 0.07, while his shot on target carried an xGOT of 0.19, suggesting a well-struck effort that still needed more to beat the keeper. With no assists and a low xA total, the final ball was missing, even if the positions were promising at times.
Four crosses and several carries into advanced areas showed intent. The execution, though, did not translate into a big chance.
Defensive work and duels
Out of possession, he posted 6 ball recoveries, plus 1 interception and 1 clearance. In duels he won 2 and lost 5, and went 1 of 2 in the air. He also registered 12 possessions lost, a number that often rises for wide players who take on risk and volume.
That mixed duel record, combined with limited creation, helps explain the Sofascore Rating of 5.7 in a tight Premier League match decided by small details.
Where this leaves his season
Across the season, Lewis-Potter has 32 appearances with 3 goals and 2 assists, and an average Sofascore Rating of 6.67. He has produced 17 key passes and 20 accurate crosses, showing he can contribute regularly over a longer sample. This outing was quieter than his usual level, but the work rate and ball progression were still there.
