Chapter 288: Easy Goal
Cahill glanced up and made a long pass, and Fabregas, who had dropped back in front, made a dashing duel for the ball, and the ball was headed back to Jones, who had already begun to cut forward.
Jones toe pad, the ball rolled forward smoothly, Jones almost did not pause, he accelerated the ball through Southampton's defense in the midfield, in the face of Romeu and Stephens's defense, Jones began to pedal a bicycle at high speed, shaking the two people did not dare to easily get off the foot, but they defended passively, how could Jones's attack be comfortable.
Jones swayed his left leg and flicked the outside of his right foot to get close to Romeu's defence.
Chose Romeu as the breakthrough point, because this breakthrough from him is the best, sure enough, Jones's breakthrough caused Romeu a lot of trouble, he wanted to reflexively card a step slower, Jones had already deftly crossed, he had no chance to jam Jones at all, and he didn't even delay it.
Jones drove straight with the ball, although Wesley came from the other side, but he was still too late, just after passing Wesley, there were two defenders left in front of Jones, Jones looked at Southampton's back line, and couldn't help but smile.
Jones did not choose to go straight to Costa in front, but chose to break through the penalty area with Hazard on the right side with a short pass, a simple wall-to-wall reversal, Jones broke through with the ball on the sideline of the penalty area, and suddenly shot with a cold kick, a shot with his right foot, the ball flew to the back point of the goal, and Foster quickly moved two steps to save the ball.
But the goal was so sudden, and the ball had a sudden drop in the air, Foster's footsteps could only move two steps and there was no time, his hand didn't even touch the ball, the ball went in, Chelsea led 1-0, the goal was so fast.
But no one will care so much at this moment, the sudden shot and goal, so that the Chelsea fans are extremely excited, after the goal Jones did not celebrate too excitedly, in the face of teammates and 60,000 Chelsea fans on the spot, Jones did not celebrate, because the goal is too simple, Jones does not have that mood, although the goal is very flat, but the result is not flat.
Chelsea scored a goal in the opening two minutes, and it was Jones' goal, which took his league goal tally to 41, an average of 2.2 goals per game.
Pellegrino shook his head in disappointment, and made a few coherent gestures to the field to give orders, this game has a lot of significance for him, the league has been ranked fifth from the bottom, relegation is approaching step by step, now the opening is a goal behind, or away to Chelsea, how can the team get back?
Southampton still threatened afterwards, Raymond dribbled the ball into the midfield, saw a hole, and glanced at Courtois's position again, Raymond took a deep breath, aimed at Courtois's far corner out of the corner of his eye, and fired a powerful long-range shot with his right foot, which shot through the Chelsea defence and quickly flew towards the Chelsea goal.
"Go in !!" Raymond's eyes were fixed on the ball, and he shouted loudly in his heart, a powerful long-range shot, Courtois was really not in a good position, and it would be difficult to save the ball again.
But Courtois accelerated to the football, the palm slapped the football, the ball flew to the goal post, farther and farther away, and then hit the sideline, Southampton's throw-in, Southampton continued to maintain pressure on Chelsea after kick-off, but Southampton, who have lost consecutive games recently, seems to be fighting with Chelsea today.
Romeu quickly went down to receive the ball, although Bakayoko kept up with him, he couldn't get close to him at all, and finally had to rely on fouls to stop Romeu, the free kick on the left side, this time the shooting angle was too off, Raymond chose a high ball for this free kick, but this tactic was obviously a failure, Costa and Hazard's headers were very advantageous, and Hazard directly destroyed the ball.
After defending this attack, the two sides slowly lowered the tempo, and no one could maintain a fast rhythm from beginning to end, not only the players could not stand the physical strength, but also the concentration could not hold on to the high tension for so long.
Not to mention Chelsea's attack, the tempo slows down but the quality is guaranteed, Southampton is different, the previous league games have been defeated, they are the lagging side, there is no good way to equalize, naturally the players are very impatient.
In the thirtieth minute of the game, the triangle of Raymond, Prowse and Romeu broke off the ball on the right side of Chelsea, and Raymond quickly moved closer to the middle to take a position, Prowse moved to the top of the box, and Romeu took the ball and quickly crossed into the bottom.
Romeu's cross got past Andreas Christensen, who had stepped up to fill in and spun out without giving Courtois a chance to attack, Prowse got away from Cahill's defence in the middle, and then headed in the middle of the high post, the power of the header was good, but the angle was still a little right, and Courtois was waiting in front of goal.
Thibaut Courtois played the ball straight down the wing, and Cahill took possession of the ball to see what was going on in front of him, and he passed it to N'Golo Kante, who ran out of space, and N'Golo Kante took on the task of organising the attack in the middle.
He dribbled sideways to evade Hojbjerg's interception and then sent a precise diagonal shot into the ball before Hazard dribbled down the flank against offside and sent in a close cross to the edge of the box.
Costa was once again tangled up in the middle with Romeu and Maya Yoshida, with all three missing the point, and Jones and goalkeeper Foster were both battling for the chance as the ball rolled to the back of goal.
Jones was going to make an emergency stop after sprinting up, but Foster also prevented him from doing so, and his body center of gravity never leaned forward to save the ball, if he rushed forward to save, Jones would naturally stop and kick back to swing out of the angle to hit the empty goal.
But Foster guarded Jones's hand, and Jones could only take a step towards the bottom line! At the moment of staggering, Foster thought that Jones would stop and kick back, but he didn't expect Jones to take advantage of the situation to go to the bottom line, although that would make the shooting angle almost zero angle, but Foster still fell into panic!
If he had changed to someone else, he might still have a fluke mentality, but the person in front of him was Jones! The current scorer king of the Premier League, a chill swept through his body, and he moved his body to save again, and the whole person fell to the ground, but he still didn't touch the football.
Jones, because the speed of the sprint was too fast, after this step, he couldn't see the line of the football rolling into the goal, he tried his best to rub the ball with the outside of his left foot, trying to make the ball spin around an arc into the goal, and scored a real zero-angle shot!
When he finished the shot at the cost of losing his body's center of gravity, Jones rolled off the line in frustration, and the ball finally hit the outside of the post and bounced off the line! Chelsea fans let out a sigh, if this goal is scored, it will definitely be the top 10 goals of the year.
'Chelsea came close to extending the lead, and Jones came close to completing a classic goal, a zero-angle goal in absolute terms! It's a pity that the football hit the goalpost and popped off the bottom line! ”
