Chapter 290 Double defeat of Manchester United at home and away, a new record for Premier League points
"aoaoaooooooo—"
The Arsenal fans who accompanied the team on the expedition let out hysterical shouts after being amazed, cheering for Martin's wonderful one-stop performance.
The [-] fans at Old Trafford were silent, including the die-hard fans who forgot to make a sound.
Until Martin took the jersey thrown by assistant coach Bould next to the broadcast booth.
Because he is not facing the broadcast camera like in the past, but facing the gathering area of die-hard fans of the home team.
"wuwuwuuuuuu——"
Huge, harsh boos poured down and quickly swept the entire audience.
Martin, who scored the goal, didn't care at all about the constant boos. He smiled and shrugged, then turned around and hugged his teammates who ran over wildly to celebrate this very exciting goal.
Wenger, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the visiting team's coach, could not suppress his ecstasy. Scoring the first goal as a guest also meant that he was invincible.
He is sincerely excited to set a Premier League points record at Old Trafford.
A 30-game unbeaten run was ended before Rooney played for his parent club Everton before moving to Manchester United, and a 49-game unbeaten run was ended at this stadium.
Martin scored a one-stop goal to help Arsenal take the lead as a guest. The wonderful feeling is simply difficult to describe in words.
Not far away, the coach of the home team was directing the technical area, where Van Gaal spread his hands in dissatisfaction.
What I want to express is beyond words.
This... what's going on?
Although the defensive system is not particularly good, but...it doesn't have to be so bad, right?
The Manchester United players on the field looked at each other in confusion. Starting from Herrera, Rooney, and Carrick, every player thought that he had given all his efforts.
It was precisely this that made them all feel huge frustration.
They admitted that Martin was very strong, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful.
Herrera, who had been following Martin closely throughout the half, felt his lungs burning. He put his hands on his knees and gasped for air, taking big and greedy breaths.
With more than half a minute left before the end of the 45-minute first half, he didn't know how long he could last.
Real Madrid coach Zidane, who came to the scene to watch the game again, looked at Martin who was crowded in the middle and frowned.
At this moment, he resonated with Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, as if Martin had scored such a wonderful one-stop goal in the Champions League final.
He shook his head and put this outrageous possibility behind him.
Zidane recorded a key message in the notebook he carried with him: Martin cannot be given space to speed up. (Note: Try not to give Martin a chance to get the ball when switching from defense to offense.)
……
The live guide replayed the entire process of Martin's goal.
Starting from stealing the ball from Depay, he then passed the ball past Herrera, Rooney, Carrick, Smalling, Rojo and De Gea.
The entire process of passing the ball is completed in the process of high-speed dribbling. It is full of entertainment and also makes countless fans who watch the live game fall in love with this handsome and handsome Arsenal number one star with outstanding football skills.
Switching from shot to shot, the eye-catching spectacle always makes people immersed in it.
[The best goal of the year has appeared! 】
【no doubt!Martin is the best player in the 2015-2016 season! 】
[In addition, there is no one! 】
[Too strong, no opponent at all! 】
……
A large number of fans on all major social platforms are not shy about their praise.
After Martin scored a wonderful goal, after a brief period of excitement and excitement, he quickly calmed down and, as usual, instilled in his teammates the concept of not underestimating any opponent. Only when the game is over is the real winner.
When the game restarted, 45 minutes of regular time had run out, and the fourth official held up the electronic sign indicating 1 minute of injury time.
Near the end of the first half, we conceded a goal that went past six players, which was a huge blow to morale.
The offense did not create any threat. On the contrary, Arsenal almost had a quick counterattack at the last minute.
The referee Oliver obviously took good care of Manchester United. Martin intercepted Rooney's through ball to Rashford and just sent a long pass to Iwobi who ran out of space. The whistle at the end of the first half sounded at an inappropriate time.
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel with his hands spread out and looking at the referee angrily.
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shook his head and said: "One minute of injury time has just expired, and it is understandable that Michael Oliver blew the whistle at the end of the first half."
At the same time, the on-site director gave Martin a close-up shot.
That player who performed extremely well in this game!
Players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms, and TV stations with live broadcast rights almost all reviewed the game around Martin.
Especially the wonderful one-stop, which has fascinated countless fans.
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court to prepare for the 45 minutes of the second half.
Before the start of the second half, Manchester United took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Schneiderlin replaces Herrera.
Van Gaal was helpless about this adjustment.
He thought that with Herrera's fighting spirit and physical fitness, he should be able to last at least 10 minutes, but he didn't expect to feel cramps just after halftime.
Thinking that this game is still a preview of the FA Cup final, Van Gaal feels particularly headache.
Man-to-man defense has shown in Abramovich's past game that it is not suitable to limit Martin.
In zone defense, it is easy to lose defensive position due to continuous passing and cutting.
"what can we do about it?"
The second half started with Van Gaal in deep thought.
Manchester United, who have the advantage of sitting at home, did not show any advantages. On the contrary, it became a constraint affecting their performance.
Sitting at Old Trafford, Manchester United has no reason not to take the initiative to attack.
In addition, if you are behind in the score and do not actively attack, you will definitely be criticized by the media and fans for being useless after the game.
Even if you lose, you must hold your head high.
At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal still adopted a defensive posture and handed the initiative to Manchester United.
The offense organized by Rooney, Mata and Carrick seemed smooth, but in fact it did not threaten Cech's goalkeeping.
Time passed by second by second, and in a blink of an eye it was six and ten minutes into the game.
Arsenal made the first substitution adjustment of the game.
Walcott replaced Chamberlain who didn't perform very well.
Walcott, who often plays games, is obviously much better at maintaining his condition than Chamberlain, who mainly works as a substitute. In a rare quick counterattack, Walcott received Martin's long pass and continuously created murderous opportunities.
It's a pity that Welbeck didn't seem to be wearing shooting boots in this game.
Either high or biased.
The broadcast showed Welbeck holding his head and pouting. Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said: "If the England international striker's condition was better, Manchester United would be at least two goals behind at home. Maybe... it's a time to reminisce about old friendship at a critical moment. Bar."
Another five minutes of the game passed, and Manchester United, which was lagging behind, still failed to create any decent scoring opportunities.
Van Gaal once again made adjustments to the lineup.
He replaced Depay, who was increasingly struggling, with Martial.
The adjustment was timely. As soon as Martial came on as a substitute, he took advantage of Martin's opportunity to cover the middle to receive Rooney's pass and almost used Henry-style to break into the penalty area and push the shot into the far corner.
Fortunately, Cech reacted very quickly. He fell to the ground and blocked the ball from the outer edge of the right goal post.
Manchester United corner.
The so-called 'New Henry' came off the bench and put in a very good performance, which immediately caused a burst of cheers from the Manchester United fans in the audience.
Many Manchester United fans even think arrogantly, you have Martin, we have Martial!
And Mata!
Both have the character "horse" in them and we have two of them!
hum~
Mata took a corner kick, and Marco Martin from Arsenal relied on his more accurate judgment of the landing point and stronger jumping ability to beat Smalling and Rashford to complete the clearance with his head, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. .
The outside points were controlled by Manchester United, and the home team was able to continue to organize the attack.
Through patient passing, the football came to Martial's feet again.
This young player who was voted No. 2015 in the 2 European Golden Boy Award really wants to prove himself in front of Martin, and naturally hopes to use his good competitive state to continue to threaten the goal guarded by Cech.
But he soon discovered that Martin was still ridiculously strong.
If you want to repeat the lethality just now, the difficulty has increased significantly.
Two consecutive breakthroughs with the ball were met by Martin who reached his feet in time to intercept the ball.
Fortunately, the foul from offense to defense was timely and did not leave Arsenal with a chance to counterattack.
Therefore, in the subsequent offense, he tried the more traditional hanging pass to the penalty area.
But Rashford is not a strong standing center.
He needs space to sprint, and he has only just debuted, so his body is not strong enough and there is no way to grab the landing point in the defense of Koscielny and Gabriel.
Time passed by second by second, and soon it was seven and ten minutes.
Coach Van Gaal and the players are very confused and don't know what to do in the next game.
Strengthen the attack, but I don't think it's necessary.
Of course, the main reason is that Arsenal's efficient and fast counterattack will take the opportunity to expand the score.
In addition, there is the last league game of the season on the weekend, and there will be a six-day break for the FA Cup final.
This game is a preview of the FA Cup final. It's easy to win the game if you play all your cards, but you're afraid of showing your hand and losing the game.
By then, even the FA Cup final will lose its confidence.
Not worth it.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford has always been tepid, with only the die-hard fans in the stands cheering without sparing any effort.Judging from the momentum that broke out, it felt worse than the Arsenal fans who were only in their early [-]s who traveled with the team.
Manchester United's attack again still failed to create enough threats. Rooney's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was weak under the pressure of Coquelin, and the football was easily obtained by Cech.
Cech, who had the football in hand, did not rush to attack, he stabilized the rhythm.
He waited until the Manchester United players were almost back before throwing the ball to Koscielny.
Martin looked back at Rooney, ran back, and clearly waved for the ball.
As a teammate, I know Martin's ability with the ball at his feet best.
Under normal circumstances, two or three defenders can only steal the ball through fouls.
The most important thing is that with so many people marking Martin, he still has the ability to send the ball to an open area without losing the ball.
This... is very perverted.
Rooney stepped up.
Martin naturally passed by the change of pace easily, but... how could the Manchester United captain easily allow the opponent's most threatening attacker to break through easily?
Using his hands and feet, he kicked Martin to the ground as he turned to face the attacker.
Referee Oliver blew his whistle to signal Rooney for a foul.
But no cards were given, which led to Wenger, who came to the visiting team coach's technical area, to be very dissatisfied.
In his opinion, as long as Rooney does not foul, Martin will have the opportunity to deliver a threatening ball.
The foul just now is worth at least a yellow card.
It doesn't matter that Martin was fouled. Anyway, it's normal for a player as strong as him to be targeted.
Only players who pose no threat will not be violated in any way.
Fortunately, he has an extremely strong novice protection period before he turns [-], so he will not be troubled by injuries at all.
Thinking of this, Martin began to feel a little melancholy.
He is now 19 years and 6 months old, which means that his invincible body is still six months away from expiration.
Therefore, he very much hopes that in the various rewards after the end of this season, he can obtain a talent or characteristic that is similar to being difficult to get injured.
Having a strong and durable body is the foundation for dominance in pedaling.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been able to compete in world football for ten years. In addition to talent and hard work, to a large extent, the two have few injuries, so they can continue to improve themselves.
Closer to home, Martin took a free kick from the backcourt and Arsenal's offense slowly moved forward.
In the first half of the game, Herrera was inseparable. Schneiderlin, who was replaced in the second half, did not continue the full-court man-marking tactics, which saved Martin from getting rid of the defenders and players who were closely watching, and he could handle the ball more calmly.
However, the role of regional defense is reflected in the fact that the passing routes of other teammates who can be contacted are subject to certain restrictions. The probability of passing a threatening ball from the ribs is not high. Therefore, the offense mainly revolves around the two wings to see if it can be passed through. In the way, De Gea knocked on the goal.
Smalling and Rojo controlled the high-altitude ball quite well and did not give Welbeck any chance.
When the dead ball appeared, Arsenal made the second adjustment.
Giroud comes on for Welbeck.
Replaced with someone taller than 1.9 meters, Martin started to organize a series of attacks more on the wing and 45° crosses.
Suddenly, the Manchester United penalty area was in turmoil.
Giroud has a strong body and is as good as Smalling and Rojo in the penalty area, so he can still grab the spot in high-intensity confrontations.
In the 74th minute, Bellerin received Martin's diagonal pass from the right and made slight adjustments. The quality of the cross he sent was very good. He bypassed Rojo at the front point and accurately found Giroud who was ahead of Smalling. , but unfortunately the crosshair was a bit off, slightly grazing the outside of the right goal post and missing the baseline.
After 1 minute, Manchester United's attack ended hastily. Arsenal tried to counterattack quickly but failed. Martin's offensive organization in the positional battle was very smooth. Monreal's cross from the left found the high-leaping Giroud again.
This time the angle of the header was calibrated, but unfortunately De Gea, who lacked strength and was focused, easily got the ball.
Manchester United was planning a defensive counterattack. After receiving the football, Schneiderlin followed the tactics explained by coach Louis van Gaal before coming on as a substitute and handed the ball to Carrick or Rooney immediately.
Before taking the ball, he noticed that Carrick was being marked by Ramsey, while Rooney, who was running forward, seemed...unmarked.
But when he just passed the football, Martin, who had been retreating, suddenly ran forward.
It happened to appear in the passing path of Schneiderlin to Rooney.
"nice shot!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai raised his voice an octave: "Martin intercepted Schneiderlin's pass to Lu You!"
Martin, who steals the ball, knows that the most critical link in switching from offense to defense is to deliver the ball to the most dangerous area before the opponent has time to defend!
After all, at this time, the Manchester United players are still thinking about attacking and rushing forward.
Martin went from stealing the ball to passing the ball in one go. He made a long diagonal pass from the inside of the instep of his right foot to the left rib of the penalty area.
"Alex Iwobi!"
With a shout from Sky commentator Andy Gray, Iwobi quickly met Martin's pass.
Smalling, who was trailing behind, subconsciously raised his right hand while quickly turning around to replay, reminding the assistant referee that Iwobi was offside.
The first assistant referee quickly ran forward along the right sideline, holding the side flag in his right hand downwards.
The meaning is obvious...
"Onside!"
Iwobi, who ran into the left rib of the penalty area from the front of the left penalty area, raised his right foot and stopped the football for a moment. He looked at De Gea who abandoned the goal and decisively chose to shoot into the far corner.
De Gea, who has excellent reflexes in front of the goal, got down to the ground very quickly, turned sideways and spread out his long arms.
However, due to the short distance and fast ball speed, the accompanying power is a bit strong, which means De Gea can only use his fingertips to push the football as far as possible to avoid Giroud's follow-up shot from the center.
"aoaooaooo—"
Manchester United fans at Old Trafford burst into hysterical chants to cheer for De Gea, who seemed to have a miracle.
At this moment, the mighty sound that resounded in the sky suddenly stopped, and then turned into a hoarse exclamation a few tenths of a second later.
"Oh No!"
Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville looked at the golden figure appearing where De Gea was throwing the ball, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out subconsciously.
"—Theo Walcott!"
De Gea, who fell to the ground, reacted very quickly, but Walcott's push was faster, rushing past and hitting the snow-white net.
"The ball went in!!"
"Goooooooooooal—"
"In the 77th minute of the game, Theo Walcott succeeded in a supplementary shot. Arsenal led Manchester United 2:0!"
……
blurted out the commentator/live TV commentator.
Walcott and other Arsenal players excitedly celebrated the goal that expanded the score.
The Manchester United players who lost the ball rushed to the assistant referee, apparently thinking that Iwobi was offside.
According to relevant football rules, this goal should be invalidated.
The referee Oliver trusted his assistant very much and even showed a yellow card to Smalling, who was more skeptical.
This... also calmed down the excited Manchester United players.
Then the on-site director gave a slow-motion replay. At the moment when Martin passed the ball, Smalling's partner Rojo was a little further back. There were clear dark and light turfs that could be easily distinguished, and there was no need to draw a line to see.
"The assistant referee had a good look and was not offside. It was a good goal!"
Although Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai's heart was bleeding, his excited voice was still high.
The Dragon Kingdom fans watching the live broadcast of the game felt a little depressed.
If Iwobi can directly score the ball, then Martin can increase the number of direct participation in goals this season to 68 times, which will be only one behind Messi.
In the final game of the league against Aston Villa at home, there is a high probability that Messi will break the miracle created by him in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that Iwobi's shot was saved by De Gea, and the goal was scored by Walcott who made a supplementary shot.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford dropped significantly with this goal, making an already inadequate atmosphere even worse.
The Manchester United fans in the audience were very disappointed and vented their strong dissatisfaction by leaving the game early.
The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team were as happy as if they were celebrating a holiday.
If nothing else, this game will end in victory.
"The game is about to end."
Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal closed his eyes in pain.
The quality of the restarted game dropped quickly. Manchester United, which was two goals behind, was affected by the decline in physical fitness and morale and was unable to play any decent offense.
Arsenal also wants to control the game and distribute physical energy reasonably.
Some players can take a break in the final game of the league three days later, but there are still the FA Cup finals and the Champions League finals to come.
That... is the most important thing.
Martin is not depressed that he failed to narrow the gap with Messi further, but is just a little regretful.
But overall, it's still wonderful.
Double beat Manchester United at home and away, so happy!
Neither side scored a goal in the subsequent game time. In the end, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 2:0, raising the points this season to 98 points, surpassing the 2004 points created by Mourinho when coaching Chelsea in the 2005-95 season. record and become a new Premier League points record!
But there is still the final round of the league, and they may still improve their championship points record to a higher level.
101 points!
Arsenal fans were very excited when they thought about this possibility, and countless loyal fans stayed up all night...
Finally... I can turn over and become the master!
(End of this chapter)
"aoaoaooooooo—"
The Arsenal fans who accompanied the team on the expedition let out hysterical shouts after being amazed, cheering for Martin's wonderful one-stop performance.
The [-] fans at Old Trafford were silent, including the die-hard fans who forgot to make a sound.
Until Martin took the jersey thrown by assistant coach Bould next to the broadcast booth.
Because he is not facing the broadcast camera like in the past, but facing the gathering area of die-hard fans of the home team.

Huge, harsh boos poured down and quickly swept the entire audience.

Wenger, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the visiting team's coach, could not suppress his ecstasy. Scoring the first goal as a guest also meant that he was invincible.
He is sincerely excited to set a Premier League points record at Old Trafford.
A 30-game unbeaten run was ended before Rooney played for his parent club Everton before moving to Manchester United, and a 49-game unbeaten run was ended at this stadium.
Martin scored a one-stop goal to help Arsenal take the lead as a guest. The wonderful feeling is simply difficult to describe in words.

With more than half a minute left before the end of the 45-minute first half, he didn't know how long he could last.
Real Madrid coach Zidane, who came to the scene to watch the game again, looked at Martin who was crowded in the middle and frowned.
At this moment, he resonated with Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, as if Martin had scored such a wonderful one-stop goal in the Champions League final.
He shook his head and put this outrageous possibility behind him.
Zidane recorded a key message in the notebook he carried with him: Martin cannot be given space to speed up. (Note: Try not to give Martin a chance to get the ball when switching from defense to offense.)
……
The live guide replayed the entire process of Martin's goal.

Players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms, and TV stations with live broadcast rights almost all reviewed the game around Martin.

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court to prepare for the 45 minutes of the second half.
Before the start of the second half, Manchester United took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Schneiderlin replaces Herrera.

Strengthen the attack, but I don't think it's necessary.
Of course, the main reason is that Arsenal's efficient and fast counterattack will take the opportunity to expand the score.
In addition, there is the last league game of the season on the weekend, and there will be a six-day break for the FA Cup final.
This game is a preview of the FA Cup final. It's easy to win the game if you play all your cards, but you're afraid of showing your hand and losing the game.
By then, even the FA Cup final will lose its confidence.
Not worth it.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford has always been tepid, with only the die-hard fans in the stands cheering without sparing any effort.Judging from the momentum that broke out, it felt worse than the Arsenal fans who were only in their early [-]s who traveled with the team.

Martin looked back at Rooney, ran back, and clearly waved for the ball.
As a teammate, I know Martin's ability with the ball at his feet best.
Under normal circumstances, two or three defenders can only steal the ball through fouls.
The most important thing is that with so many people marking Martin, he still has the ability to send the ball to an open area without losing the ball.
This... is very perverted.
Rooney stepped up.
Martin naturally passed by the change of pace easily, but... how could the Manchester United captain easily allow the opponent's most threatening attacker to break through easily?
Using his hands and feet, he kicked Martin to the ground as he turned to face the attacker.
Referee Oliver blew his whistle to signal Rooney for a foul.
But no cards were given, which led to Wenger, who came to the visiting team coach's technical area, to be very dissatisfied.
In his opinion, as long as Rooney does not foul, Martin will have the opportunity to deliver a threatening ball.
The foul just now is worth at least a yellow card.
It doesn't matter that Martin was fouled. Anyway, it's normal for a player as strong as him to be targeted.
Only players who pose no threat will not be violated in any way.
Fortunately, he has an extremely strong novice protection period before he turns [-], so he will not be troubled by injuries at all.
Thinking of this, Martin began to feel a little melancholy.
He is now 19 years and 6 months old, which means that his invincible body is still six months away from expiration.
Therefore, he very much hopes that in the various rewards after the end of this season, he can obtain a talent or characteristic that is similar to being difficult to get injured.
Having a strong and durable body is the foundation for dominance in pedaling.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been able to compete in world football for ten years. In addition to talent and hard work, to a large extent, the two have few injuries, so they can continue to improve themselves.
Closer to home, Martin took a free kick from the backcourt and Arsenal's offense slowly moved forward.
In the first half of the game, Herrera was inseparable. Schneiderlin, who was replaced in the second half, did not continue the full-court man-marking tactics, which saved Martin from getting rid of the defenders and players who were closely watching, and he could handle the ball more calmly.
However, the role of regional defense is reflected in the fact that the passing routes of other teammates who can be contacted are subject to certain restrictions. The probability of passing a threatening ball from the ribs is not high. Therefore, the offense mainly revolves around the two wings to see if it can be passed through. In the way, De Gea knocked on the goal.
Smalling and Rojo controlled the high-altitude ball quite well and did not give Welbeck any chance.
When the dead ball appeared, Arsenal made the second adjustment.
Giroud comes on for Welbeck.
Replaced with someone taller than 1.9 meters, Martin started to organize a series of attacks more on the wing and 45° crosses.
Suddenly, the Manchester United penalty area was in turmoil.
Giroud has a strong body and is as good as Smalling and Rojo in the penalty area, so he can still grab the spot in high-intensity confrontations.
In the 74th minute, Bellerin received Martin's diagonal pass from the right and made slight adjustments. The quality of the cross he sent was very good. He bypassed Rojo at the front point and accurately found Giroud who was ahead of Smalling. , but unfortunately the crosshair was a bit off, slightly grazing the outside of the right goal post and missing the baseline.
After 1 minute, Manchester United's attack ended hastily. Arsenal tried to counterattack quickly but failed. Martin's offensive organization in the positional battle was very smooth. Monreal's cross from the left found the high-leaping Giroud again.
This time the angle of the header was calibrated, but unfortunately De Gea, who lacked strength and was focused, easily got the ball.
Manchester United was planning a defensive counterattack. After receiving the football, Schneiderlin followed the tactics explained by coach Louis van Gaal before coming on as a substitute and handed the ball to Carrick or Rooney immediately.
Before taking the ball, he noticed that Carrick was being marked by Ramsey, while Rooney, who was running forward, seemed...unmarked.
But when he just passed the football, Martin, who had been retreating, suddenly ran forward.
It happened to appear in the passing path of Schneiderlin to Rooney.
"nice shot!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai raised his voice an octave: "Martin intercepted Schneiderlin's pass to Lu You!"
Martin, who steals the ball, knows that the most critical link in switching from offense to defense is to deliver the ball to the most dangerous area before the opponent has time to defend!
After all, at this time, the Manchester United players are still thinking about attacking and rushing forward.
Martin went from stealing the ball to passing the ball in one go. He made a long diagonal pass from the inside of the instep of his right foot to the left rib of the penalty area.
"Alex Iwobi!"
With a shout from Sky commentator Andy Gray, Iwobi quickly met Martin's pass.
Smalling, who was trailing behind, subconsciously raised his right hand while quickly turning around to replay, reminding the assistant referee that Iwobi was offside.
The first assistant referee quickly ran forward along the right sideline, holding the side flag in his right hand downwards.
The meaning is obvious...
"Onside!"
Iwobi, who ran into the left rib of the penalty area from the front of the left penalty area, raised his right foot and stopped the football for a moment. He looked at De Gea who abandoned the goal and decisively chose to shoot into the far corner.
De Gea, who has excellent reflexes in front of the goal, got down to the ground very quickly, turned sideways and spread out his long arms.
However, due to the short distance and fast ball speed, the accompanying power is a bit strong, which means De Gea can only use his fingertips to push the football as far as possible to avoid Giroud's follow-up shot from the center.
"aoaooaooo—"
Manchester United fans at Old Trafford burst into hysterical chants to cheer for De Gea, who seemed to have a miracle.
At this moment, the mighty sound that resounded in the sky suddenly stopped, and then turned into a hoarse exclamation a few tenths of a second later.
"Oh No!"
Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville looked at the golden figure appearing where De Gea was throwing the ball, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out subconsciously.
"—Theo Walcott!"
De Gea, who fell to the ground, reacted very quickly, but Walcott's push was faster, rushing past and hitting the snow-white net.
"The ball went in!!"
"Goooooooooooal—"
"In the 77th minute of the game, Theo Walcott succeeded in a supplementary shot. Arsenal led Manchester United 2:0!"
……
blurted out the commentator/live TV commentator.
Walcott and other Arsenal players excitedly celebrated the goal that expanded the score.
The Manchester United players who lost the ball rushed to the assistant referee, apparently thinking that Iwobi was offside.
According to relevant football rules, this goal should be invalidated.
The referee Oliver trusted his assistant very much and even showed a yellow card to Smalling, who was more skeptical.
This... also calmed down the excited Manchester United players.
Then the on-site director gave a slow-motion replay. At the moment when Martin passed the ball, Smalling's partner Rojo was a little further back. There were clear dark and light turfs that could be easily distinguished, and there was no need to draw a line to see.
"The assistant referee had a good look and was not offside. It was a good goal!"
Although Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai's heart was bleeding, his excited voice was still high.
The Dragon Kingdom fans watching the live broadcast of the game felt a little depressed.
If Iwobi can directly score the ball, then Martin can increase the number of direct participation in goals this season to 68 times, which will be only one behind Messi.
In the final game of the league against Aston Villa at home, there is a high probability that Messi will break the miracle created by him in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that Iwobi's shot was saved by De Gea, and the goal was scored by Walcott who made a supplementary shot.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford dropped significantly with this goal, making an already inadequate atmosphere even worse.
The Manchester United fans in the audience were very disappointed and vented their strong dissatisfaction by leaving the game early.
The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team were as happy as if they were celebrating a holiday.
If nothing else, this game will end in victory.
"The game is about to end."
Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal closed his eyes in pain.
The quality of the restarted game dropped quickly. Manchester United, which was two goals behind, was affected by the decline in physical fitness and morale and was unable to play any decent offense.
Arsenal also wants to control the game and distribute physical energy reasonably.
Some players can take a break in the final game of the league three days later, but there are still the FA Cup finals and the Champions League finals to come.
That... is the most important thing.
Martin is not depressed that he failed to narrow the gap with Messi further, but is just a little regretful.
But overall, it's still wonderful.
Double beat Manchester United at home and away, so happy!
Neither side scored a goal in the subsequent game time. In the end, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 2:0, raising the points this season to 98 points, surpassing the 2004 points created by Mourinho when coaching Chelsea in the 2005-95 season. record and become a new Premier League points record!
But there is still the final round of the league, and they may still improve their championship points record to a higher level.
101 points!
Arsenal fans were very excited when they thought about this possibility, and countless loyal fans stayed up all night...
Finally... I can turn over and become the master!
