Chapter 0024 - A Perfect Start

It was Herrera who took the ball to the penalty spot with the ball in his hands, and it was Herrera, who scored the penalty in the last game.

Although the penalty was created by Marcus Rashford, he has not yet been included in the penalty order by Louis van Gaal.

Facing Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, Herrera calmly smashed the ball into the corner to give United a 1-0 lead.

Herrera was thrilled to score two goals in a row, but instead of running to the corner flag to celebrate, he turned and hugged Rashford.

If it weren't for the excellent performance of this little brother, who made penalties in two consecutive games, he would not have been able to score in two consecutive games.

The rest of the United players also came over to congratulate Herrera and praise Marcus Rashford's little brother for his excellent performance.

Marcus Rashford is also very happy, not just because of the affection of his team-mates, of course, but because he has scored another attribute point.

According to the rules of the system, in the Premier League, which is a four-star competition, he can be rewarded with an attribute point for creating a penalty. Although this attribute point will not be cashed out until the end of the game, it is now on the account, just waiting for the end of the game to receive it.

Of course, Marcus Rashford won't stop there, and he's still thinking about the task that the system has set out for him.

However, this task is not easy, because the opponent Arsenal in this game is indeed much stronger than Midtjylland.

Although I remember scoring two goals in this game, but now that a lot has changed, will everything still play out as scheduled?

Moreover, even if he scored two goals according to the script of another time and space, he still couldn't complete the task. Because the mission clearly states that no less than three goals must be scored to do so.

However, he made this penalty himself, presumably Wenger's old guy should have some impression of himself, right?

Thinking so, Rashford set his sights on Arsene Wenger on the away team's bench, and found that the old guy's face was indeed a little ugly, but it was calm.

It seems that just creating a penalty is not enough to impress this old guy!

………………

As Rashford watched Arsene Wenger, the live broadcast director also focused his television camera on Wenger, and then at Rashford, who was surrounded by his team-mates in the field.

Of course, the major broadcast media know what this means, and they have joked: "Before the game, Wenger said that he didn't know who Rashford was, this is a duel between Manchester United and Arsenal, I think after the game, he should be able to remember Rashford." ”

Of course, this is just a joke.

After Manchester United celebrated, the game continued.

Arsenal could not afford to be crushed by a penalty and continued to exploit their passing advantage to threaten the United goal and hope to equalise on short notice.

In fact, their offense did pose some threats.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Welbeck received the ball in the midfield and made a gesture to break through Carrick. Carrick is a veteran in his thirties after all, and his reaction was a little slower, and the interception turned into a flying tackle, and he was shown a yellow card by referee Paulson.

This is not good news for Manchester United. Michael Carrick is not only Manchester United's centre-back, but also the captain, and his yellow card has had a significant impact on Manchester United.

In the ensuing free-kick attack, Mesut Ozil drove the ball and found Sanchez in the crowd. Alexis Sanchez's shot came close to opening the scoring and was eventually saved by De Gea.

However, Arsenal did not get a chance to take a corner because Sanchez was already in an offside position before the goal.

………………

The game once again entered a state of anxiety where you came and went, and the scene was a little boring.

The on-site director also seemed to think that the game was not very good, and pointed the camera at the stands. However, it was not looking for the beautiful fans who watched the game on the spot, but aimed at the injured Manchester United soldiers who slipped away in the stands.

Because of De Gea's return from injury, there is no way to put out a complete starting list in the injury list, but the number of injured Manchester United players is still as high as 13.

However, the Manchester United players on the field did not let the director slip for a long time, and quickly redrew their attention to the stadium.

Who is it? Naturally, it's still our protagonist Marcus Rashford!

Just after 28 minutes, Manchester United steals Arsenal in the midfield, Herrera passes forward diagonally through Arsenal's defense, Manchester United right-back Barella receives a pass outside the penalty area line, and immediately crosses, Koscielny rises to the top, Gabriel clears not far away, Rashford follows up and hits, Manchester United leads Arsenal 2-0.

The time shows that it is 28 minutes and 20 seconds at the moment!

At 18 years and 120 days, Marcus Rashford is the third-youngest player to score in the Premier League in Manchester United's history, ahead of Macheda and Welbeck.

The Theater of Dreams was boiling in an instant, and the fans were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

The fans were confident of winning at home against Arsenal, but they didn't expect Manchester United to perform so well, taking a 2-0 lead in less than 30 minutes.

It's like a dream!

………………

Marcus Rashford was also delighted, and although it wasn't the first official goal of his career, it was the first goal of his Premier League schedule against a team like Arsenal.

Of course, what makes Rashford even happier is that this goal also brings him 2 attribute points, and it also means that he is a third of the way to complete the task assigned by the system, and the goal has been achieved!

He excitedly rushed to the front of the line, leaping high and waving his arms as he celebrated his first Premier League goal with the cheering home fans.

Behind him, the players in Manchester United's front field followed and cheered.

With a dream score of 2-0 in less than 30 minutes, they were equally happy, which means that they are not far away from winning this game.

Marcus Rashford finished interacting with the fans, turning to shake hands with his team-mates who had come over and finally hugging his young team-mate Varela, who had provided him with the assist again.

This kid is simply his lucky star, and he has given him wonderful assists in two consecutive games.

While Rashford and his team-mates were jubilantly celebrating, the broadcast camera was on Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. I saw that the old handsome's face was sinking like water at the moment, and he looked very serious.

Obviously, at this time, Wenger has realized the danger of the situation.

Trailing Manchester United by two goals on the road meant the game was largely lost. Because since entering the Premier League era, Manchester United has almost no precedent for being equalized or even reversed by their opponents when they are leading by two goals at home.
