Data from a table getting printed to csv in a single line - python-3.x

Question

I've written a script to parse data from the first table of a website. I've used xpath to parse the table. Btw, I didn't use "tr" tag cause without using it I can still see the results in the console when printed. When I run my script, the data are getting scraped but being printed in a single line in a csv file. I can't find out the mistake I'm making. Any input on this will be highly appreciated. Here is what I've tried with:
import csv
import requests
from lxml import html
url="https://fantasy.premierleague.com/player-list/"
response = requests.get(url).text
outfile=open('Data_tab.csv','w', newline='')
writer=csv.writer(outfile)
writer.writerow(["Player","Team","Points","Cost"])
tree = html.fromstring(response)
for titles in tree.xpath("//table[#class='ism-table']")[0]:
# tab_r = titles.xpath('.//tr/text()')
tab_d = titles.xpath('.//td/text()')
writer.writerow(tab_d)

Answer 1

You might want to add a level of looping, examining each table row in turn.
Try this:
for titles in tree.xpath("//table[#class='ism-table']")[0]:
for row in titles.xpath('./tr'):
tab_d = row.xpath('./td/text()')
writer.writerow(tab_d)
Or, perhaps this:
table = tree.xpath("//table[#class='ism-table']")[0]
for row in table.xpath('.//tr'):
items = row.xpath('./td/text()')
writer.writerow(items)
Or you could have the first XPath expression find the rows for you:
rows = tree.xpath("(.//table[#class='ism-table'])[1]//tr")
for row in rows:
items = row.xpath('./td/text()')
writer.writerow(items)
