Chapter 151: A Regretful Ending

The game came to the sixty-fifth minute of the second half. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoSouthampton team has been working hard for so long, stoic and dormant, and finally got a good attacking opportunity again.

Goalkeeper Sebastian Frede first easily got a weak long-range shot from a Sunderland midfielder, and immediately threw the ball to Nikki Shoreley, who was running forward on the left, and Nicky Shoreley did not have any intention of delaying, and was also quickly carried the ball through the half, during which he was not tackled or resisted by any Sunderland player. Nicky Shorey passed the ball to Adam Lallana, who dribbled past Sunderland with one player, two players, three players. Then Adam Lallana faced the penalty area, but at this time he did not have any greed, facing the Sunderland central defender who had already helped to defend, Adam Lallana gently knocked with his left foot to the feet of Kevin Phillips, who had been outflanked in the middle, Kevin Phillips did not hesitate and shot with his feet!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful impact of the ball slammed into the post, and the sound was incessant, and Kevin Phillips held his head in despair and hammered it in anger on the turf. David Winston couldn't believe his eyes, but he still had to accept the fact and stood up and continued to encourage the players to keep trying. The fans also continued to cheer for all 11 members of the Southampton team after a cry of regret.

The Southampton players did not give up and continued to patiently find every opportunity, striving to make the most of every opportunity and make the most of their ideal result, which was to send the ball to the Sunderland team's net.

The game came to the 72nd minute and Southampton continued to organise the attacking chances.

The chance to attack came down the right flank of Southampton, where Stefan Lichtsteiner latched on to Laurent Koscielny's pass and burst across Southampton's own half. Then he cut inside to the middle and began to look for cooperation with his teammates in the middle. Marek Hamsik, who had been playing defensive duties, dropped back to get a pass from Stefan Lichtsteiner and then passed the ball to Miguel Arteta, who was on his left after getting rid of a Sunderland defender along the left and then back to Clemens Fritz, who had been providing a protective barrier behind him, and Clemens Fritz made a half-high ball to Dirk Kuyt, who had been looking for a movement off the ball. Dirk Kuyt can still grab the ball with Sunderland's defenders at a relatively fast pace, it is really full of physical energy, no wonder he was used at right-back in his previous life, he is really an all-round guy.

Dirk Kuyt did not choose to break through in the face of Sunderland's defenders, but continued to pass to Stefan Lichtsteiner in the middle, Stefan Lichtsteiner suddenly broke through and rushed into Sunderland's penalty area, this sudden move surprised the entire Sunderland backline, and instantly did not know what to do, so he had to tackle him, Stefan Lichtsteiner felt the impact of ankle pain, but he did not feel the pain that invaded the bone.

Is this a penalty?!!!

The Southampton players surrounded the referee and asked for the undoubted penalty, but the referee with a serious face seemed to be deaf, could not hear anything, did not say anything, and walked straight to Stefan Lichtsteiner, signaling him to quickly stand up and continue the game.

Stefan Lichtsteiner pointed to his ankle and complained to the referee that the Sunderland players had really tackled his ankle, at which point the referee showed Stefan Lichtsteiner a yellow card and told him to get up quickly.

The players of the Southampton team were instantly on fire, and once again surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation, and at this time, the St. Mary's stadium was filled with boos for the referee, and David Winston saw that there was no way to endure it again, and began to scold the fourth official Chase on the sidelines, complaining, pointing to his eyes and chattering at the fourth official.

"You! He! Mother! Target! Didn't you see the penalty!! Yes!!! Your eyes are all!! He! Mother! Target! Are you blind!! A bunch of bastards!! David Winston stood in front of the fourth official and cursed the referee on the field.

"Well, Mr. David Winston, please keep your emotions in check, please watch what you say, this is the game, and if you behave aggressively, I have the right to invite you to the stands!!" At this time, the referee walked over and made a righteous threat to David Winston, and his words revealed that he could not be disobeyed.

David Winston heard the referee warn himself like this, he was really angry and laughed in his heart, and couldn't help but applaud the referee and the fourth official who were far away, and then walked to the coach's bench and sat down.

The manager and players have stopped protesting, but it is not so easy for the fans, especially the fans of the English club. They still united in filling the sky above St Mary's Stadium, focusing the boos on the referee, and never having peace in his heart, which can be seen that the referee was more inclined to the home team Southampton in the subsequent decisions, but these can no longer make up for all the stains on this game, this is another game ruined by the referee's blindness and incompetence. No matter what the referee is doing, the fans will dedicate their most sincere thoughts to the ears of the referee.

In the end, the unfortunate ending, Southampton did not fight back at home, beat Sunderland, and unfortunately lost the game, which was also the first defeat of Southampton this season, and fans never thought that Southampton would lose the game with such an ending.

They had their chances, but they didn't take them, they had them, but there were irresistible factors that wiped out the opportunities they deserved. But if there are more of those chances, Southampton can still win the game, which is an important part of Southampton's lack of action. Southampton are not the invincible team that the media has been saying right now, and their strengths and weaknesses are on display in front of all Premier League managers. (To be continued.) )
