Chapter 673: Penalty!

City's celebration didn't last long, and they knew it was just a one-goal lead!

Manchester United put on such a very attacking lineup, it is naturally impossible to make adjustments in the first half!

Pep Guardiola continued to make gestures on the sidelines, signaling the players to step up their attack, Manchester United's strong attacking ability is here, Guardiola is convinced that his team can score!

The race went on, and the pace was still very fast!

After the goal, Manchester City did not choose to be conservative, and they did not hesitate to invest offensive firepower when they had an attacking opportunity!

Gao Bo knows that in the face of an offensive lineup like the opponent, it is not possible to rely on defense!

And this is Manchester City's home stadium, defending at home is undoubtedly a damage to the team's momentum, the team is now the top team, and it can't lose to the opponent in momentum no matter what!

Ten minutes into the game, Manchester United's attack advanced to the front!

Thiago passed the ball to Modric, who turned and passed the ball to Nani, and the Portuguese winger tried to continue the pass after going down and was kicked out by Kolarov first, but it was still Manchester United possession on the outside!

Modric stopped the ball and crossed it to the other side, Pogba stopped the ball and made a forward breakthrough, but he suddenly paused and jumped the ball up!

Rooney chested the ball in the box and swept it into the goal!

Kompany and Colo Toure both raised their hands, and Gao Bo also raised his arms on the sidelines!

"Offside !!!!!"

In fact, at this moment, Gao Bo didn't know whether Rooney was offside, but he just protested first..... For him, as long as the opponent scores, it's better to be offside.

The Manchester United players were depressed, they were about to celebrate, and the assistant referee at the far end had already raised the flag!

Offside!

Goal nullified!!

"Rooney!! Wayne Rooney sent the ball into the net, but the assistant referee raised the flag for offside!! Manchester United's players and Pep Guardiola are quite unhappy! They're going to go to the linesman for an explanation, but let's take a look at the replay first! ”

Commentator Lightkinson said.

On the TV screen, the replay of Manchester United's attack just now!

At the moment when Pogba picked up the pass, Rooney did lean out, and the offside position was obvious!

Manchester United's players protested against invalidation, their goal was invalidated, the score on the pitch was still 1-0, and Manchester City was ahead!

.........

Manchester United scored an offside goal, and in retrospect, Manchester City also returned the color!

But it's still offside!

Jamie Vardy was able to find the back of the net from the midfielder's through box, but the linesman's flag was still raised.

Manchester City's goal was also offside!

In just a few minutes, both teams had an offside position and even sent the ball into the opposition goal.

Although the score has not been changed, it speaks volumes about the fact that both teams are not conservative in attack!

This made the fans who were watching the game, especially the neutral ones, addicted!

"The pace of the game is so fast! Both sides almost completely let go of the attack! Manchester United came first to threaten the attack, turned their heads, and Manchester City also returned the color! ”

"Judging from these ten minutes alone, this can be regarded as the most technical Manchester derby in the last 20 years! Both sides are playing their offensive strength on the field, the game is very intense, but the attention of both sides is on the game, there are no past fouls, no yellow cards flying all over the sky, no conflicts! Both teams are trying to play their best and all eyes are on football!! Lightkinson said.

Indeed, the two teams are very close in quality these days, and they are basically technical players in midfield, and in attack, both sides have amazing attacking talent!

Offensive!

It's the theme of this game!

Twenty-one minutes into the game, Manchester United were in possession in front!

Pedro passed the ball to Wayne Rooney, who turned and passed the ball to Thiago, who suddenly picked the ball out to Pogba!

Pogba was about to break forward after stopping the ball on his chest and caused a foul on Antoine Griezmann, who came back to participate in the defense.

Two Frenchmen came to a direct conversation.

Manchester United, on the other hand, got a free-kick opportunity more than 20 meters from the goal!

"Man City beware!! Manchester United has a lot of good free-kick players, whether it is Modric, Rooney, or Pogba, they can all kick! ”

The referee's whistle blows!

Pogba fakes.

Rooney shoots!

The football he kicked hit the wall, but Rooney immediately raised his right hand and slapped his arm with his left hand, which was a gesture for the opponent's handball!

The referee on duty in this game, Clattenburg, hesitated, blew the whistle in his mouth, and then.... He pointed to the penalty spot!

The referee awarded a penalty!

City's players immediately did not dare to do so, but perhaps it was Gobo's pre-match words in the dressing room that played a role, with captain Kompany allowing veteran Colo Toure to dissuade his furious team-mates, and he himself stepped forward to protest and negotiate with referee Clattenburg.

"What the !!!!"

Gao Bo burst into foul language on the sidelines, but fortunately he said Chinese, otherwise this sentence alone would have caused him trouble.

He didn't see what was going on in the box, he was too far away. However, in his heart, his team is definitely not fouled, there will be no penalty at all, anyway, his team is not wrong!

His team was wronged!!

Not far away, Manchester United's bench was jubilant, with manager Pep Guardiola and his aides hugging and celebrating the penalty!

"Penalty!! Clattenburg awarded a penalty!! Manchester City is protesting strongly! Let's see what's going on!! ”

"Is this a penalty? A Manchester City player has been fouled for handball in the penalty area, and Manchester United players are celebrating! ”

Slow-motion footage ensued as Rooney's football flew up, Jamie Vardy's header in the wall flicked and the ball changed direction and hit Zabaleta's raised arm.

This is indeed handball in the box!

There was no controversy about Clattenburg's decision.

However, Gao Bo obviously didn't think so, he thought that Zabaleta couldn't hide at all, and he didn't mean it.

His protest to the referee team naturally did not change the referee's decision.

Manchester City's protest was ineffective and Manchester United were awarded a penalty!!

......

Wayne Rooney is on the penalty spot!

Under the huge boos of the Etihad, United's leading striker withstood the pressure and fired a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner, which Oblak judged in the right direction but couldn't save the tricky shot.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！ Rooney!! He withstood the pressure!! The penalty was scored!! ”

"One-to-one!! Manchester United equalised!!! ”

Lu Xiaopang ran with his arms outstretched to celebrate the goal, and the Manchester United players celebrated the goal excitedly!

Guardiola clenched his fists with a look of fortitude on his face!

The equalizer was scored in the twentieth minute of the game! The scales of this game are tilted in favor of Manchester United again!!

Gao Bo spread his hands a little helplessly, and was equalized by the opponent's penalty, which was really helpless.

Guardiola's luck is so good!

He could only slander in his heart.

Gao Bo whistled to attract the attention of the players, and then he made a gesture to signal the team not to be affected by the conceded goal and continue to attack the opponent!
