Who can stop Arsenal? 》

After Arsenal's win over Villa, Sky Sports published such a report the following day, which read:

Arsenal are victorious again! Arsenal had just beaten the Red Devils 3-0 before beating Aston Villa 2-0. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

We can't remember how many times this has been Arsenal's victory! The rise of Arsenal is no longer possible, but a real fact!

League champions? Maybe this is already in Arsenal's pocket! There are other titles, and perhaps Arsenal are already eyeing them.

Now, the only thing we have to guess is who will be able to step up and stop Arsenal? Even stopping it once can be a miracle!

However, Arsenal's momentum is just too strong right now! Moreover, Arsenal has the magical Chinese zhang, and it has this Chinese zhang who has repeatedly created miracles!

After Arsenal has owned China, their strength has increased greatly, and all problems seem to have been solved, and Arsenal's terrifying record this season is the best example!

This report immediately caused an uproar in England, and the major Premier League giants who have long been envious and jealous of Arsenal are even more jealous of Arsenal.

Perhaps in anyone's eyes, Arsenal has become a target, a target that everyone wants to take down!

So when Wenger saw the news, he felt very bad. This report immediately unveiled the hidden psychology of the Premier League's giants, and at the same time completely removed the last veil.

In the past, everyone may not have been too embarrassed to blatantly block Arsenal, but as soon as this report came out, the giants did not need to estimate any face, and they all made great efforts to carry themselves to the end.

In that case, Arsenal are in big trouble! If every team fights Arsenal, Arsenal will definitely not be able to withstand it, even if Arsenal has the strongest strength!

But now Wenger can't do anything, he can't tell reporters that Arsenal don't have this ambition and deliberately give up the game? That's even more unlikely!

Therefore, Wenger can only say nothing and play every game of his game silently!

At 3pm on January 18, 2014, the 22nd round of the English Premier League was staged at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal hosted Fulham.

Arsenal play their 200th Premier League derby and 100th home Premier League derby. The Gunners have won four consecutive Premier League games and have conceded only one goal in the last eight home games in official competitions. Arsene Wenger retained the same starting line-up from Monday's 2-0 win at Villa.

Fulham rotated as many as six players, with Hangeran, who had recovered from back surgery, making his first league start since October last year, with goalkeeper Stekelenburg recovering from an ankle injury in time and Boone, Richardson, De Jaga and Kakanicklic also making appearances. Fulham have never won a win at Arsenal in official matches (five draws, two defeats) but have drawn two in the last two. The two sides have met 54 times in history, with Arsenal having the upper hand with 36 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal, under the leadership of Zhang Xu, launched a fierce attack, which made Fulham kick out of breath.

In the 4th minute of the game, Ozil and Zhang Xu played a wonderful kick to the wall, Zhang Xu passed directly to the right side of the penalty area, Ozil shot past goalkeeper Stekelenburg, but Hangeland destroyed the ball. In the 17th minute, Giroud pulled back and Gnabry fired a left-footed volley wide from the top of the box.

In the 20th minute of the game, Zhang Xu was violated by a Fulham defender outside the penalty area, Arsenal got a chance to take a free kick, and Ozil's left-footed free kick from 25 meters in front of the goal was blocked by the wall. One minute later, Zhang Xu went straight to the right side of the penalty area, and Giroud pushed a left-footed shot high from 14 meters in front of the goal.

Sidwell almost opened the scoring for the fourth time in a row in the 26th minute, when Berbatov's cross from the right was headed over by Sagna, and Sidwell's powerful volley from 20 yards was tipped over the crossbar by Szczesny.

In the 38th minute of the game, it was Zhang Xu again, who was tripped by the opposing defender, Ozil hit the wall with a left-footed free kick 23 meters in front of the goal, Sagna hit the wall with a low shot from 14 meters away from the goal on the right side and was blocked by Stekelenburg, Giroud hit Stekelenburg in the face with a half-volley from 5 meters in front of the goal! Giroud was offside, though. In the 45th minute, Mertesacker was hit on the head by Flamini's elbow with the ball, but fortunately, it didn't seem to be too much of a problem.

Three minutes into the second half, Fulham's corner kick caused chaos, and Boone headed Zhang Xu from 9 meters in front of the goal.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Cazorla made a low cross from the left, Zhang Xu burst into the left side of the penalty area and fired a left-footed diagonal shot 11 meters away from the goal, which was blocked by Stekelenburg, and Giroud shot again, but it missed the post.

In the 54th minute of the game, after Zhang Xu received a pass from Ozil in the middle, he cut inside on the right side with the ball to dodge the defense, and his left-footed volley from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Stekelenburg at the left post. One minute later, Mesut Ozil split the ball and Cazorla's shot from a tight angle on the left side of the box was blocked by Ritter.

In the 56th minute of the game, Cazorla took a free kick from the left, Gnabry's backpost shovel was broken on the goal line, and Koscielny and Giroud's close-range follow-up shots were blocked! In less than 1 minute, Arsenal made a comeback, Cazorla cut a low cross from the left, Zhang Xu did it to the left side of the penalty area, Wilshire crossed low to the middle, Cazorla shoveled into the lower right corner 9 meters in front of the goal, 1-0! Arsenal take the lead by one goal!

After taking a one-goal lead, Arsenal's attack became more and more fierce!

Zhang Xu, in particular, completely took the game into his own hands.

Cazorla scored a brace in the 62nd minute! Monreal crossed from the left, Zhang Xu grabbed the first point in the middle, made the ball to Cazorla, Cazorla stopped the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area and drilled a low left-footed shot into the lower right corner, 2-0!

Cazorla's goal in this campaign is equivalent to the total goal scored in the previous 23 Premier League games.

His last seven Premier League goals have come at home. Fulham have conceded 48 goals this season, a record for the first 22 non-promoted races in the Premier League and the most since 1985/86 (West Brom have conceded 53 goals in 22 games).

Darren Bent replaces Dejaga and he has scored eight goals in the last 10 meetings with Arsenal. Arsene Wenger also responded, with Podolski coming on for Gnabry. In the 72nd minute, Arsenal played a delicate small combination, Wilshere split the ball in the penalty area, and the shot from the left was blocked by Ritter.

In the 74th minute of the game, Zhang Xu knocked on the left side, and Podolski's left-footed shot from 25 meters in front of the goal was hit by Stekelenburg's fingertip at the near post! In the 85th minute, Zhang Xu crossed and Giroud pushed a left-footed shot high from the edge of the penalty area.

Mesut Ozil was then replaced by Oxlade-Chamberlain. In the first minute of stoppage time, Szczesny came out to save the ball over the top and Darren Bent fired wide of the near post from seven yards out on the right. In the third minute of stoppage time, Cazorla picked up a cross from the left, and Oxlade-Chamberlain's header landed on top of the net from five meters in front of goal.

In the end, Arsenal won Fulham 2-0 in this game! (To be continued.) )
