Chapter 789 The situation is over

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!" the MUTV commentator shouted excitedly.

"Bruno! Bruno!! Bruno!!! The Manchester United captain scored his 40th Premier League goal of the season!"

"2:0! Manchester United leads Aston Villa by two goals!"

"Beautiful!! Bruno's low shot scores! 2:0!"

"Manchester United were two goals ahead of Aston Villa before half-time."

"For Aston Villa, this is a disappointing score. They were two goals behind at halftime and it was extremely difficult to turn the game around in the second half."

……

Amid the commentator's cheers, Aston Villa fans in front of the TV were stunned in the stands.

Some of them cannot accept this reality.

After the game started, Aston Villa was in good shape. It could even be said that before conceding the goal, they had greatly taken the initiative on the field.

However, after conceding the first goal, everything changed.

Bruno, who scored the goal, opened his arms and ran to the main stand. He raised his fists and celebrated the goal excitedly.

His teammates rushed up and hugged him, and Manchester United players celebrated excitedly and enthusiastically at Villa Park!

"Manchester United are two goals ahead of Aston Villa in the game!"

"This Manchester United team always seems to have a surprisingly good performance when facing difficulties!" Martin Taylor suddenly said.

"That's true. When Manchester United faces difficult situations, they always seem to burst out with tremendous energy." Andy Gray agreed. "Perhaps this is also the key to Manchester United's ability to suppress Guardiola's Manchester City and Klopp's Liverpool when facing the challenges of these two teams. Even when they are occasionally in an unfavorable situation, they can eventually reverse it!"

"If Manchester United can beat Aston Villa today, it will be hard to stop them from finally winning the league title this season! Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Leicester City will also find it hard to stop Manchester United's progress!"

………………

At the end of the first half, Manchester United, playing away, led Aston Villa 2:0 thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Bruno.

Aston Villa made substitutions before the start of the second half.

Samata came on as a substitute, replacing Trezeguet, who had a rather average performance today.

Trezeguet did not appear on the bench. Apparently, the Egyptian was in a bad mood when he learned that he was going to be substituted at halftime, so he stayed in the locker room directly.

However, this substitution did not have an immediate effect, but instead caused Aston Villa to lose the ball again.

In the 49th minute, the Tanzanian striker tried to cooperate with Douglas Luis in the frontcourt, but made a pass error.

Kante made a steal and Manchester United immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Kante - Gundogan - Mbappe - Bruno - Rashford scored!

Manchester United's devastating counterattack directly broke down Aston Villa's defense.

Bruno assisted Rashford to score, Manchester United 3:0 Aston Villa.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"Rashford! 3:0!"

"This is Rashford's fifteenth goal in the league this season. This season, the Manchester United youth player has contributed fifteen goals and four assists in twenty-seven league games! He is in great form!"

………………

Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith was extremely dissatisfied with the goal.

The team's right back Neil Taylor jumped too hard when defending Rashford, and was overtaken in an instant. Then he could only watch Rashford cut in horizontally and scored.

Not long after the start of the second half, they conceded the ball again, and the score gap widened to three goals. This caught Aston Villa off guard as they wanted to make a difference in the second half.

After Rashford scored the team's third goal, Mourinho leisurely returned to the coaching seat and sat down to watch the game.

Leading 3:0, the team's morale was high and the situation was under control. Mourinho did not believe Aston Villa had the ability to turn the tables when trailing 0:3.

At the same time, Greenwood, Mahrez and others on the bench got up to warm up.

After the resumption of the Premier League, the schedule is very tight and it is difficult for the players to have enough time to recover their physical strength. Therefore, when the victory is already decided, it is appropriate to let the substitute players come on the court to find their feeling and let the main players get enough rest.

Afterwards, Mourinho made a series of adjustments to his troops.

In the 60th minute of the game, Mason Greenwood, another product of Manchester United's youth training camp, came on as a substitute, replacing Rashford.

Ten minutes later, Mahrez came on as a substitute, replacing another winger, Mbappe. Also on the bench was Fred, who replaced Gundogan.

This is also a signal that Manchester United needs to defend comprehensively.

………………

The camera then gave Mourinho close-ups several times. The Magic Bird was sitting in the coaching seat, crossing his legs with a relaxed expression.

This is the ease and confidence that comes from having victory within reach.

Next door, his colleague Dean Smith sat in his seat with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

This is the frustration and unhappiness that comes from knowing that defeat is inevitable.

"Dean Smith has a lot to summarize after losing this game. In this game, Tottenham only played well for more than ten minutes, and then the game was taken over by Manchester United."

"Dean Smith must be in a bad mood after losing at a crucial time to avoid relegation."

The commentator was wrong, Dean Smith wasn't in a bad mood at the moment, he was panicking.

If Aston Villa cannot successfully avoid relegation this season, can he still stay as Villa's head coach?

In the end, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 3-0 away.

This is also the fourth consecutive game in which Manchester United has won by at least 30 goals since being tied by Tottenham in the 4th round of the Premier League!

In these 4 games, Manchester United scored 14 goals and did not concede a single goal, demonstrating their strong dominance in the Premier League!

………………

Manchester United's consecutive victories have put great pressure on their rivals Liverpool.

Two days later, at Anfield, Liverpool made mistakes under heavy pressure and were tied 1:1 by Burnley.

In the first half, Robertson broke the deadlock with a header in the 33rd minute. In the second half, Firmino hit the post in the 48th minute. In the 68th minute, Rodriguez equalized for Burnley.

At the end of the game, Liverpool drew with Burnley 1:1 at home and missed the chance of 25 consecutive home wins across the season.

After losing 2 points again, British media said that Liverpool's game was over and they would have to wait until next season if they wanted to win their first Premier League title in team history.

不过，曼联似乎也非常给面子。在7月14日晚上的英超第35轮最后一场比赛里，曼联在主场被南安普顿2:2逼平。

In the 12th minute, Fred was intercepted by Ings in the backcourt. Raymond then made a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Armstrong stopped the ball and shot from 5 yards away to score. Manchester United fell behind 0:1 at home.

But Manchester United showed their strong strength and quickly scored two goals to reverse the score.

In the 20th minute, Mbappe made a 45-degree cross from the right, Bruno stopped the ball near the penalty spot and passed it, and Rashford shot into the far corner from 8 yards on the left rib, helping Manchester United quickly equalize the score.

In the 23rd minute, still with Bruno's assist, Mbappe broke into the penalty area from the right and shot with his right foot from 12 yards on the left side of the penalty area. Manchester United scored two goals in three minutes and took the lead.

………………

The game then fell into the hands of Manchester United, who firmly controlled the situation and exerted great pressure on Southampton's goal. However, the score on the field remained unchanged.

Mourinho started making substitutions after 70 minutes of the game, wanting to save his strength for the away game against Crystal Palace three days later. Bruno and other front attackers were all replaced.

After replacing these main attackers, Manchester United's strength weakened and Southampton began to play some threatening attacks on the field. However, Manchester United's defense was still good and did not allow Southampton to score.

In the 89th minute, Prowse and Dalot collided heads while competing for the header. After 3 minutes of treatment, Dalot left the field directly. Manchester United could not make substitutions and had to play 10 against 11 in the final moments.

What made Mourinho even more dissatisfied was that the referee then gave an extra 6 minutes of extra time!

It was also in the 6th minute of injury time that Southampton got a corner kick. Prowse took the corner kick from the left side, Bednarek headed the ball in front, and Obafemi leaned on Lindelof and scored the ball with his right foot from close range at the back point, and Manchester United equalized.

As a result, after all 35 rounds of games were completed, the top two teams in the standings made mistakes at the same time and stopped moving forward.

Both teams have 92 points, and Manchester United continues to top the list thanks to its goal difference advantage.

………………

Although Manchester United was unexpectedly tied by Southampton and continued to maintain a tie with Liverpool, the Reds soon faced a test.

On the evening of July 7, a focus match of the 15th round of the Premier League kicked off at the Emirates Stadium, with Gunners Arsenal facing Reds Liverpool.

Arsenal, as a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, has not performed well this season. It currently ranks 12th with 14 wins, 9 draws and 50 losses, and 9 points. It is 9 points away from the Champions League zone and has no hope of advancing to the Champions League. The only hope is to fight for the Europa League qualification. However, Liverpool is also fighting hard to win the first Premier League title in team history.

At the Emirates Stadium, in the first half, Robertson assisted Mane to score the first goal. Koulibaly and Allison made mistakes, allowing Lacazette and Nelson to score, and Firmino hit the post.

Liverpool launched a frantic attack in the second half, but they were unable to break through Arsenal's defense, and Salah and Mane missed opportunities consecutively.

In the end, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 2:1.

A day later, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2-0 away from home and took a 3-point advantage in the standings.

The Red Army is doomed!
