Chapter 0158 - Lingard, the Spit Cake Man (The First Subscription Request)
At the start of the second half, United did not slow down the tempo of their attack. Just 58 seconds into the second half, Wayne Rooney fired low from the edge of the box after receiving Anthony Martial's return pass, but the ball was blocked by Souare.
Marcus Rashford was near the post but he didn't dare to reach out and kick the ball into the back of the net because he was in an offside position.
From the ensuing corner, United failed to threaten and the ball was quickly controlled by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni.
Palace took advantage of the goalkeeper's opener to launch a counter-attack against Manchester United. However, the ball was eventually brought off the line by former Gunners and Manchester City striker Bam Adebayo, who was defended by Blind and failed to pose a threat either.
The home fans applauded Adebayor's mistake, but instead of encouraging the Togolese striker to perform well, they laughed at his mistake.
De Gea sent in a goal-kick but Rojo couldn't hold it when he was forced by the opposition player and the ball went off the touchline.
However, when Palace sent the ball on the sideline, it was snatched away by Schneiderlin and Anthony Martial, and United launched a quick counter-attack.
Anthony Martial dribbled the ball down the middle, while Marcus Rashford pulled to the left. Anthony Martial dribbled at high speed and tacitly distributed the ball to the left wing.
Marcus Rashford received the ball, strode forward, and then the man rushed forward. Near the top left corner of the box, he sent in a cross, but Anthony Martial was half a step slower and the ball was cleared off the touchline by Palace centre-back Delaney.
However, United's sideline ball failed to pose any threat and Juan Mata accidentally kicked the ball off the touchline to return possession to Palace when he was pressed close to the opposition player.
………………
In the second half of the game, under the fierce struggle between the two sides, the tempo became very fast, and the time soon came to the 54th minute.
At this time, a very controversial situation arose on the court.
At that time, Rashford stole possession on the left and then distributed it to Juan Mata next to him, and he cut into the box.
Juan Mata knowingly sent a through ball into the Palace penalty area.
Marcus Rashford picked up the ball from two yards out of the penalty area, but was tackled from behind by Palace defender Mariapa.
Referee Lee Mason said nothing, but the ball was picked up by Juan Mata and volleyed from eight yards on the left, which was blocked by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni.
Old Trafford was booed in reaction to Lee Mason's decision.
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney approached Lee Mason to protest a foul on a Crystal Palace player. But Lee Mason said Marcus Rashford and Mariapa had just come into a normal confrontation.
For Lee Mason's explanation, Rooney almost exploded into a foul mouth, Nima's side-to-back tackle in the penalty area or a normal confrontation?
However, because this side is now 3:
_1
lead, and Lu Xiaopang, who is over thirty years old, has his temper has been restrained a lot, so in the end, he still didn't entangle with Lee Mason more.
United continued to serve corners, with Blind heading towards the Palace box but it was cleared by Delaney's header.
The ball was pushed by Delaney to the edge of the box and was picked up by Manchester United right-back Damien ahead of Crystal Palace striker Bam Adebayor.
Pasta chested off the ball and fired a left-footed volley from 18 yards down the middle, the ball hit the inside of the left post and bounced into the net, which was also Darmian's first goal since joining Manchester United, Manchester United 4:
_1
Leading.
At this point, the cheers at Old Trafford immediately replaced the boos.
It is said that what should be yours is yours, and no one can stop it. Lee Mason had just missed a penalty for Manchester United, but United then scored from a corner.
………………
The Reds did not give up on attacking because of a big lead, instead they had a succession of chances to open the scoring in the following minutes.
In the 57th minute, Manchester United steals Crystal Palace in the midfield, Schneiderlin passes the ball to Mata, Mata does not stop the ball and knocks it directly to Lingard, who strides forward with the ball.
At the edge of the penalty area, Jesse Lingard was intercepted head-on by Crystal Palace and opted to distribute the ball to Marcus Rashford, who was pulled down the right.
Marcus Rashford then knocked the ball back to Lingard, who had already dodged the space, and Lingard received the ball and passed it again to Rooney in the arc of the box.
With Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Wayne Rooney in quick succession, Palace's defensive centre of gravity shifted heavily to their left, resulting in a noticeable gap on their right flank, Anthony Martial's side.
Wayne Rooney's vision and big-picture vision were very good, and he then cleverly distributed the ball to the left of his side, which is the right of Crystal Palace.
Anthony Martial picked up Rooney's ball and shot from the left side of the penalty area, but the result was a big surprise, because his unguarded shot actually hit the plane directly.
Rashford shook his head, the little brother hit the ball too quickly, he could have had a chance to stop the ball, and then hit the goal, so I am afraid it will go in.
However, he was clearly in a hurry to score, which led to him not adjusting his footwork in a hurry and sending the ball straight into the stands.
Rashford couldn't help but think that if the little pony had his own volley level, or if he had changed himself to that position, the goal would have been scored.
………………
Two minutes later, United were back in the picture, this time with our captain Wayne Rooney getting the chance to shoot.
Valencia sent in a low cross from the right, but none of the United players in the box could find the spot, and the ball was cleared by the Crystal Palace defenders.
Wayne Rooney controlled the ball on the edge of the penalty area, dodged the angle and slotted a powerful shot at goal, but the shot was still off target.
After Wayne Rooney's shot on goal, Palace made the first substitution, with March bringing on Li Qinglong.
In the 61st minute, United made a tackle at the back, and this time it was Schneiderlin and Jesse Lingard who completed the interception.
Jesse Lingard then crossed forward and Marcus Rashford was on the line, taking advantage of his speed to break straight into the Palace box.
However, because he found that his shot angle was small, and Speroni's block, the goal was not very certain.
Coupled with the fact that Jesse Lingard was back in from behind and unguarded, Rashford opted to play the ball in the middle of the box for the sake of safety.
However, Lingard lacked confidence in his shot, and his shot was denied by Speroni due to his lack of speed and angle.
Rashford was very helpless, he wanted to help Xiao Linzi, who knew that he was not angry and became a spitter for a while.
Seeing Speroni block the ball, Rashford decided to come on his own, and he ran towards the ball and kicked it hard!
