Anyone know what happened?

Reversion to the mean. They were never that good. Before the start they were predicted to finish around 14th position. Even while they piled up wins, stats like xG showed a different story. It was a house of cards. A similar squad finished 11th last season.

But still, the collapse is even more impressive than the unexpected good run before that.
