On May 10, 2017, at 7:30 p.m., St. Mary's Stadium was lit up and the side in red and white striped shirts and the dark blue side were battling on the pitch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a make-up match for the 26th round of the Premier League, between Southampton and Arsenal, with the former being the home side.

In this game, due to the injury of Laurent Koscielny, Schkoderan Mustafi returned in time to partner the youngster Rob Holding in central defence, and since Walcott did not enter the starting line-up, Zhang Zhetian became the captain of this game.

With the exception of Koscielny, who was out injured, the rest of the starting XI remained unchanged as in the previous game, and soon after the start of the game, the Saints at home gave Arsenal a long-range shot that was missed, of course.

But it wasn't long before Arsenal played a through ball from the right with Mesut Ozil, and Héctor Bellerin cut inside the box to cross the ball wide, and Aaron Ramsey fired a right-footed shot wide.

The two sides went back and forth, except for the failure of the Gunners' defense to create an offside position in the 31st minute, and Zhang Zhetian bravely saved the opponent's shot, there was no longer a threatening attack.

In the 36th minute, Alex Chamberlain was injured and could not hold on, and in desperation, Arsenal replaced Oxlade-Chamberlain with Francis Coquelin and changed the formation of two midfielders.

After that, Southampton had a shot on goal in the 40th and 42nd minutes, a free-kick from the edge of the box that went wide of the goal, and a long-range shot from outside the box that was saved by Zhang Zhetian.

In the second half, Bellerin crossed from the right, and Ramsey shot with his right foot in the penalty area, and the ball deflected off the right post.

Ten minutes later, Ozil received the ball in front of the arc of the penalty area and distributed the ball to Alex Sanchez, who turned and smashed the ball past two defenders at Southampton in the penalty area and calmly pushed it with his left foot, and the ball flew into the net, giving Arsenal a 1-0 lead!

After six consecutive goal droughts, Chile's thigh finally broke the goal.

The Gunners went from strength to strength after breaking the deadlock, and in the 67th minute, Arsenal won a corner from the right, and Mesut Ozil fed the ball back to Granit Xhaka, who tried a long-range shot from outside the box and Fraser Foster made a sideways save.

In the 79th minute, Southampton launched an attack when Sofern Boufal struck a left-footed shot after a series of shakes at the edge of the box, but the ball went wide.

In the 83rd minute, Sanchez made a long pass into the penalty area, Ramsey headed the ball, and substitute Oliver Giroud shook his head to score the 10th league goal of the season, Arsenal 2-0, the victory was decided!

This is not over, two minutes later, in order to get a goal back, Southampton launched a furious attack, after Ke Quelin intercepted the ball, he saw Zhang Zhetian reach out for the ball, so he passed it back to him, and Zhang Zhetian finally launched the long-lost Dongfeng Express after receiving the ball.

More than 31,000 people at St. Mary's Stadium finally saw the rumored ecstasy long pass, the ball fell on the Southampton penalty area and the center circle between the no-man's land, Sanchez successfully received the ball in an offside position, a beautiful hanging shot, and hit the ball into the upper right corner of the goal, Foster couldn't save, only to watch the ball go into the net, Arsenal 3-0!

Sanchez, who scored a brace, was so excited that he suddenly slipped and knelt as he ran to the stands, celebrating the goal drought and scoring twice.

You think that's the end of it?

No, in the 87th minute, Oriol Romeu broke the ball in front of the field and distributed the ball to the left side, and Boufal shot with his left foot after entering the penalty area, which was held by Zhang Zhetian.

Zhang Zhetian, who held the ball, only ran a few steps, and then threw the ball and drove forward, Dongfeng Express started again, and the Saints defense line in front of the pressure collapsed again, or Sanchez, facing Foster, who attacked, first deceived the opponent with a feint, and then kicked the ball into the empty goal, Arsenal 4-0!

"Damn, I've finally fulfilled my promise!" Zhang Zhetian wiped the sweat on his head and said secretly.

Before the game against Tottenham, Zhang Zhetian promised Sanchez to feed him cakes, but unfortunately, due to Tottenham's strong defense, Sanchez did not get many scoring opportunities.

Sanchez is also very anxious, with a goal drought in 6 consecutive games, and watching the Golden Boot get farther and farther away from him, Sanchez is very anxious.

At half-time, Zhang Zhetian comforted his teammates who did not have a few shots on goal in the first half, telling him to keep his attention and pay attention to the anti-offside position at any time.

Anyway, the two centre-back combinations sent by the relegation-free Saints are not the main players, whether it is 23-year-old Jack Stephen Smith or 28-year-old Japanese central defender Maya Yoshida, neither of them can block the impact of Sanchez, a world-class striker.

Sure enough, after taking a 2-0 lead, taking advantage of Southampton's eagerness to regain face, pressing all the way, leaving a large gap in the backfield, the Dongfeng Express and Sanchez's anti-offside position came into play, and in less than five minutes, two simple and rough goalkeepers connected to complete the slaughter of the Saints.

In the end, at the end of the game, Southampton lost 0-4 at home to Arsenal, Sanchez, who scored a hat-trick, scored a game-high 9.3 points and won the best player of the match, while Zhang Zhetian, who kept 12 consecutive clean sheets and contributed two assists, was the second highest player in the game with 9.2 points.

In the post-match interview, Sanchez thanked his teammates and praised Zhang Zhetian, but forgot to thank Ozil, who helped him score the first goal, and did not notice the resentful gaze of the German behind him.

After this make-up match, Zhang Zhetian will be suspended from the game, and since he can only return on May 21, Zhang Zhetian asked the club for a week off and then prepared to go to Spain.

Sanchez broke the goal drought and scored his second hat-trick in the league this season, and became the Premier League away scorer this season with 17 away goals!

The record was held by Kevin Phillips in Sunderland in 1999/00, when he scored 16 goals on the road.

With one of Arsenal's remaining three league games on the road, Sanchez is expected to continue to set a new record for away goals while catching Everton striker Romelu Lukaku for the Premier League's Golden Boot.

After this game, Alexis Sanchez, who scored 24 goals, and Lukaku, who also scored 24 goals, tied for the top scorer, behind them, Tottenham Hotspur goalscorer Harry Kane with 21 goals, with three rounds left in the league (Everton only two), and the battle for the Premier League Golden Boot is becoming more and more fierce.

Although Kane is three goals away from the top of the table, the charm of the league is that until the last minute, you will not know who will go to the Golden Boot.

Although Mesut Ozil has gone from being a bread eater to a cake eater this season, an assist at Southampton has given him a double-double of goals and assists this season (10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions).

After winning this supplementary game, Arsenal surpassed Chelsea by two points with the same number of games and reached the top of the Premier League table for the second time!
