After the ball popped up, it landed right at the feet of Ferdinand, who kicked out with a big kick to solve the danger.

But Tottenham had just created a threat in the Manchester United penalty area and disrupted Manchester United's position, which would make the opponent stabilize again, the ball flew to Tottenham's half, and was kicked by a Tottenham defender into Manchester United's penalty area.

Van der Sar is very sophisticated, and when he saw his opponent kicking wide, he quickly rushed to the penalty area and held the ball in his arms with both hands.

Gao Xiaodong immediately ran to the side and reached out to Van der Sar for the ball to counterattack.

Van der Sar also observed that the opponent did not go back at the first time, and threw the ball to Gao Xiaodong with a quick hand.

Tottenham's players also saw Gao Xiaodong asking for the ball, and hurriedly ran over to force it, Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate, and received the ball with a long pass, looking for Berbatov who was at the front.

Gao Xiaodong passed the ball accurately, Berbatov handled the ball quickly and steadily, and the defender was very close to Berbatov, but by the time Tottenham central defender Gallas came up, Berbatov had already stopped the ball at his feet.

Gallas came over and stuck to Berbatov to prevent him from turning around, waiting for his teammates to come back to the defense.

Berbatov was not a lone player, and seeing that it was too risky to force a turn, he directly passed the ball back to Rooney, who was quickly inserted, and turned to run forward.

If Rooney has the footwork of Gao Xiaodong and Scholes, and passes it directly, Berbatov is a beautiful anti-offside one-on-one goal.

But Rooney has neither the footwork nor the idea, and now is the time to put on a good performance for the captaincy, where will Rooney still think about teaming up with Berbatov, he takes the ball forward and rushes towards the Tottenham penalty area.

At this time, Modric had already come back to the defense, and he directly made a flying tackle, wanting to use a tactical foul to sabotage Manchester United's counterattack.

Rooney was very fast, and when Modric tackled, Rooney accelerated the ball forward, dodged Modric and continued to push forward.

Rooney had just accelerated to dribble the ball, and the ball was a little further away from his body, and Tottenham centre-back Caboul immediately rushed over to steal.

For a half-ball chance, Rooney was a little quicker and flicked the ball to the side, but he and Caboul still collided.

Rooney is also short and strong, usually likes to practice boxing, and his strength is very strong, Cabul originally wanted to get stuck in front of Rooney, but under a touch, he was directly knocked to the ground by Rooney.

However, after a slight delay, Modric and Tottenham's full-backs arrived, and Rooney lost the opportunity to attack forward.

Rooney had no choice but to cross the ball to Berbatov and look for an opportunity to cooperate.

If you can't pass the ball with it, why did you go earlier, Berbatov was speechless.

Rooney's cross, Tottenham's players came back more, Manchester United has lost the opportunity to counterattack, and Berbatov can only pass the ball back to Gao Xiaodong to play a positional battle.

Gao Xiaodong is not in a hurry, he received the ball and passed it back to the defender, Manchester United is still one goal ahead at the moment, there is a chance to counterattack, there is no chance to control the ball and other opportunities, it is also a good choice to end the first half with a score of 1:0.

Gao Xiaodong's return pass made Ferguson very pleased, being able to judge the situation and not be rash and rash, at this age, it is really very rare.

After Tottenham returned to the defense, they saw that Manchester United did not attack, but instead controlled the ball unhurriedly in the second half, so they had to run back to press.

Tottenham also had no choice, they were behind and had to press out if they were to come back in the last ten minutes of the first half.

In the face of Tottenham's pressing, Manchester United fell seven or eight feet in a row at the back, and then passed to the feet of Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong got rid of Modric's pressing, suddenly changed the rhythm, dribbled the ball from the middle and drove straight into the half of Tottenham.

Tottenham quickly shrank down the middle and intercepted Gao Xiaodong with a wrap.

Gao Xiaodong attracted the middle defense, did not stick the ball, directly split the side, and passed to Giggs.

Giggs is very good at matching Gao Xiaodong's rhythm, when Gao Xiaodong is in the backcourt to control the ball, he helps to pick up in the back, Gao Xiaodong suddenly stepped forward, and he quickly followed along the side.

Gao Xiaodong divided the ball into the side, and there was a lot of space on the side. Giggs did not hesitate and decisively dribbled along the wing to break through the baseline.

Lennon also moved to the middle at this time, and his attention was not on Giggs, and when Gao Xiaodong was assigned to the side he was guarding, Lennon turned his head and saw Giggs's forward assist.

Lennon hurried to the side and intercepted Giggs.

Ryan Giggs was called Wales' son of the wind when he was younger, and now he is too old to run, but he has a lot of experience in attacking from the wings.

Giggs ran forward as best he could, and after attracting Lennon to the wing, he quickly crossed to Gao Xiaodong in the middle and ran towards the middle himself.

Tottenham thought that Gao Xiaodong and Ryan Giggs were going to switch positions again, and Jenas immediately moved closer to Gao Xiaodong, planning to follow Gao Xiaodong to the side.

Giggs and Gao Xiaodong attracted the attention of the defense, but he didn't expect Evra to quickly assist from behind, Gao Xiaodong had a wide field of vision, and after receiving the ball, he saw Evra step forward and immediately passed the ball straight behind the defender.

The pair comfortably broke through Tottenham's right defence, with Patrice Evra catching up on the ball near the baseline and crossing it across the box.

Manchester United's central Rooney and Berbatov were outflanked and formed a double goal.

Tottenham goalkeeper Gomes took the risk and punched the ball out of the box, but he also collided with Rooney, who rushed towards him, and both fell in the box.

The blow was not light, Gomez's knee hit Rooney's chest, Rooney's head hit Gomez's lower abdomen, and both of them rolled in the box with their stomachs in their arms.

After the ball hit the penalty area, it fell in front of Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong didn't care whether the two players in the penalty area were injured or not, and regardless of the Tottenham players raising their hands, their chests stopped, and they hoisted the ball into the net.

After scoring the goal, Gao Xiaodong raised his hands high, turned around and ran wildly to celebrate.

The referee hesitated and pointed to the centre circle to signal that the goal was valid.

After Manchester United scored a goal, Tottenham still had the upper hand in attack, according to the situation of the game, the outcome was unpredictable, but if Gao Xiaodong's second goal was counted, Tottenham would have gone away.

Tottenham were furious and came to the referee to protest, believing that Gao Xiaodong's immoral goal should be canceled because the goalkeeper was still on the ground and his injuries were unknown.

The referee knew that Gao Xiaodong's goal was not bright enough, but just now he didn't have time to stop the game for the first time, Gao Xiaodong scored the ball and did not violate the rules, he must admit this goal, otherwise the controversy after the game will be even greater.

The United fans in the stands were already cheering and clapping and shouting, "Good ball!

Although he knew that it was impossible to make the referee change his mind, the angry Tottenham people also besieged the referee and put pressure on him, and some people accused Gao Xiaodong in the past, saying that Gao Xiaodong was shameless and humiliating.

Referee Gomez was angry when he saw that his authority was being challenged, and he pulled out a yellow card to warn Modric, who was the most troublesome.

Tottenham saw that the referee was serious, and did not dare to besiege again, and went to look at his goalkeeper in a gloomy manner.

Tottenham goalkeeper and Rooney both closed their movements when they collided, Rooney was hit heavier, but he had thick skin and thick flesh, strong resistance to hitting, and it would be fine in a while, Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez had no big problem, but he was out of breath, and when the Tottenham players besieged the referee, he would rest for a while.

Gao Xiaodong scored twice with a controversial goal, which angered the Tottenham players, and in the remaining five or six minutes of the first half, Tottenham attacked desperately, but because they were too impatient, they were not able to create good shooting opportunities, and finally had to go back to the dressing room to rest with the result of falling behind by two goals.
