annotate_pitch(
  colour = "dimgray",
  fill = "white",
  limits = TRUE,
  dimensions = pitch_opta,
  goals = goals_box,
  linewidth = 0.5,
  alpha = 1,
  linetype = "solid"
)

Arguments

colour: Colour of pitch outline.
fill: Colour of pitch fill.
limits: Whether to adjust the plot limits to display the whole pitch.

ggplot(shots_data, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  annotate_pitch() +
