Liverpool were overtaken less than five minutes into the second half, which clearly left the United players feeling gloomy. At the same time, they could also feel the fury of Ferguson on the sidelines.

As captain, Roy Keane led by example, running back into the net to pick up the ball and then beckoning his teammates to come back: "Don't stand there stunned. The second half has just begun, so we have time to get back into the score, cheer up and give the Liverpudlians a little color! ”

Hearing Roy Keane's words, the Manchester United players immediately perked up. In the dressing room of the Manchester United team, except for Ferguson, this Irishman is the most prestigious, and everyone is willing to listen to him!

Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, nodded in satisfaction after seeing Roy Keane's performance. Although there have been some conflicts between him and Roy Keane recently, Ferguson still believes that Roy Keane is the most important and trustworthy player in the team!

Yes, in Ferguson's eyes, even the so-called heartthrob Beckham is not as important as Roy Keane.

After the restart, Manchester United showed their determination to equalise.

Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo attacked through two wings in succession. Ronaldo may have been stimulated by Chen Xi and appeared to be hard in the second half of the game, but more importantly, he put Huahuo aside for the time being and became more decisive with the ball, so that his threat on the right side has increased significantly.

Looking at Ronaldo's active performance, Chen Xi suddenly felt as if he had helped the team cultivate a strong enemy. However, he was relieved again, because in his opinion, the stronger the opponent, the more interesting the game will be!

In the 55th minute, United made nearly 10 passes in a row in midfield. In the end, Forlan distributed the ball in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, who cut in on the right.

After receiving the ball, Ronaldo took a step forward and rushed up completely, and passed the ball into the penalty area!

At this time, Forlan also returned to the penalty area again, and in the face of Carragher's defense, the Uruguayan shooter jumped high and came to the goal with a flick of his head!

It's just that his header was too positive, and he was directly held in his arms by Dudek in front of the goal.

"Manchester United's Forlan and Ronaldo almost replicated the previous combination between Edison and Owen, but Forlan's final strike failed to break through the Liverpool team!"

Three minutes later, United attacked from the left, with Ryan Giggs taking advantage of the change of tempo to shake off Finnan's defence before passing a very fast low ball into the middle of the box!

Ruud van Nistelrooy poked the ball in front of Hyypia, which deflected towards the near post.

Fortunately, Dudek in front of the goal was in an excellent position, blocking the ball out of the bottom line after sealing the angle!

Seeing that the team's attack only blossomed and did not bear fruit, Ferguson on the sidelines was also a little anxious. He found that there were still some problems with the team's formation today. Scholes' inability to play has affected the team's attacking ability in the middle, and although Roy Keane also has the ability to cut in from behind, the Red Devils captain, who is used to defending, is still not as good as Scholes in attack. As for Phil Neville, he was completely restricted by Chen Xi.

Thinking about last season, Ferguson had to worry about whether to go to Veron or Scholes, but this season the team couldn't even find a replacement for Scholes.

Naturally, a one-goal advantage was not enough for Liverpool to watch Manchester United attack without making a difference.

In the 65th minute, Chen Xi still decisively chose to break through when he took the ball on the left side and faced the pinch attack of the Neville brothers.

Chen Xi first pretended to break through to the bottom line, but in fact, he suddenly pulled the ball back and killed it towards the middle!

Seeing that Chen Xi was about to get rid of it, Phil Neville had no choice but to drag Chen Xi to the ground.

Phil Neville's move not only brought him a shocking boo from the Anfield home fans, but also earned him a yellow card from the referee.

Apparently, the referee felt that Phil Neville's deliberate foul had ruined a very dangerous attack by Liverpool.

Phil Neville did not argue, in his opinion, the foul just now was more worthwhile, defusing a breakthrough of Chen Xi, and at the same time, the foul was far away from the goal, and Chen Xi could not shoot directly.

Indeed, after setting the ball, Chen Xi didn't have the idea of shooting at all, but observed the situation in the penalty area.

After everything was ready, Chen Xi passed the ball directly to the back point.

With the previous lesson, Howard didn't dare to attack easily, which allowed the ball to cross the penalty area smoothly and come to the back post!

Risser, who is a left-back but very tall at left-back, was in that position, and he didn't go straight to the goal in the face of the incoming ball, but swung the ball into the middle!

Heskey was on the ball's path, but Rio Ferdinand next to him was clearly not an easy player to deal with.

The two men hit the ball almost at the same time, which sent the ball flying in the air again. At this time, the players of the two nearby teams participated in the competition, as if the ball in the air was a hydrangea thrown by a beautiful woman!

This time, Hyypia, who has the advantage of height, took the ball first, but unfortunately he couldn't exert his strength in the crowd at all, and although the ball flew towards the goal, it was easily obtained by Howard.

The feng shui took turns and turned quite fast, and just two minutes later, United were rewarded with a free-kick on the flank.

It was Ryan Giggs who took the free-kick, and the Welshman made the same choice as Chen Xi just now, which was to pass the ball to the back post.

It was Ronaldo who appeared on the way, and Ronaldo did not head the ball like Rieser before, but directly headed the ball towards the goal.

Due to the small shooting angle of Ronaldo's position, and Dudek's position in front of the goal is also very good, Ronaldo's header went directly into the arms of the Pole!

Rio Ferdinand and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who were outflanked in the middle, were obviously dissatisfied with Ronaldo's choice and muttered something on their lips.

Ronaldo, who is still just a rookie, can only silently accept the complaints of several big brothers, but when he becomes famous in the future, even if he is more independent, his teammates dare not complain, this is the embodiment of a person's status in the team!

While United's players were still frustrated by missing a great set-piece opportunity, the experienced Dudek was already attacking with his hands on the ball.

Although the big men of the Manchester United team came to the penalty area one after another, Chen Xi still did not choose to defend, but stayed on the left side of the midfield, ready to counterattack at any time.

Dudek's hand threw the ball to Chen Xi, who chose to take the initiative to run back to catch the ball, while Phil Neville kept following behind Chen Xi.

Chen Xi felt Phil Neville pressing behind him, only to see him face the incoming ball and catch the ball, but in fact, he suddenly spread his legs, let the ball leak under his crotch, and then quickly chose to turn around.

Phil Neville was a little unable to react, and when he saw that Chen Xi was about to turn around and get rid of him to form a counterattack, he subconsciously grabbed Chen Xi's clothes with his left hand, and then quickly turned around and hugged Chen Xi with his right hand.

After Chen Xi found out that it was Phil Neville, who was already carrying a yellow card, he gave up this idea, but lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the ground!

Shh At the same time, they also remembered that this guy was already carrying a yellow card, so they were putting pressure on the referee!

Seeing Chen Xi fall to the ground exaggeratedly, Phil Neville suddenly remembered that he had already carried a yellow card before, so he hurriedly raised his hands to show that he had not fouled just now!

Phil's older brother Gary Neville also ran over as soon as possible, stopping between his brother and the referee who was running, as if trying to prevent the referee from pulling out his cards.

"Mr. Referee, don't do that. Phil was just a normal foul......" Gary Neville said nervously to the referee. It's like the younger brother is in trouble outside, and the elder brother has come to help him intercede.

Unfortunately, the Neville brothers' performance failed to impress the referee, who witnessed the scene very clearly. And Chen Xi's unusually realistic falling action also impressed the referee, and the referee determined that Phil Neville was a tactical foul, which was enough to give a yellow card.

"The referee gave Phil Neville a yellow card, which is already the second yellow card on him, and he is going to be sent off, which is obviously worse for Manchester United!"

Sure enough, the referee pulled out a yellow card and then a red card.

Phil Neville's face was full of helplessness, and he was finally entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Ferguson, but he applied for a red card and left the field early, and it may be difficult to get another chance to start in the future.

Compared with Phil Neville's helplessness, Chen Xi, who had just gotten up from the turf, was snickering in his heart. Obviously, the decision he had made in a split second was the right one. With the team ahead, sending one off can be much more useful than playing a threatening counter-attack!

Yes, even if Chen Xi broke through Phil Neville's defense just now, and there was Gary Neville behind him, Chen Xi was not absolutely sure that he would turn this counterattack into a goal!

was snickering in his heart, but Chen Xi's face looked very calm. He wouldn't be so stupid as to celebrate after taking the opponent off the field, isn't this a slap in the face of the referee! Keep it low when it's time to keep it low!

Phil Neville left Anfield amid boos from 50,000 or 60,000 Liverpool fans, and his England derby was already over early. Ten of his teammates will face extremely difficult situations in the coming days.

Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, was in no mood to comfort his sent off disciple at this time, and he called South African Fu Qiong from the bench. Foqiong is a versatile player, he is a wide corridor type player, he can play as a full-back, he can also play as a wing-back or even a winger, and more importantly, he often plays as a central midfielder in Manchester United!

Ferguson replaced him in the hope of using his all-round surname, after all, after Phil Neville came off the field, he needed to replace someone on the field to help defend Chen Xi, and at the same time, the team was behind, and he couldn't be replaced with a purely defensive player, unless he didn't want to equalize!

In the end, Ferguson opted to replace Cristiano Ronaldo with Fortune, and he was ready to make Fortune and Roy Keane form a back two, while pushing Ryan Giggs up front and Flan on either side of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Such a change of formation is Ferguson's helpless approach, but Forlan's excellent foot skills also allow him to be a winger, and his shooting skills are still much better than the current Cristiano Ronaldo. That's why Ferguson chose to replace Cristiano Ronaldo over Forlan.

Cristiano Ronaldo was obviously a little dissatisfied, he just high-fived Fu Qiong with a stiff face, and then returned to the bench sullenly.

Ferguson didn't have the heart to comfort this young man at this time, the situation on the field was enough to give him a headache!

Benitez, the other coach's bench, was red at this point, and in his opinion, with a one-goal lead and one less man to play, they seemed to have won.

It's just that the Spanish boss seems to have forgotten the very important fact that his side had stubbornly held a strong Arsenal draw with Anfield playing with one man down and two goals down. So who can guarantee that Manchester United can't pull off such a miracle?

Not long after the game resumed, Manchester United almost equalised with an attack!

Pulling down the right flank, Forlan showed his solid technique on his feet, and after a series of shakings against Riese, who was taller than himself, he finally showed the Norwegian's flaws. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Forlan cut inside with the ball to the middle, and then shot a curling ball with his left foot!

Fran, like Chen Xi, is a player with a relatively balanced left and right feet. Although he usually uses his right foot when he chooses, his left foot is also quite good.

The ball arced off the crowd in the box and towards the far corner!

Dudek in front of goal was always very focused, and when Forlan cut inside with the ball, he was ready to make a save, and when he saw Forlan's footwork, he flew towards the far post!

So although Forlan's shot was from a very tricky angle, Dudek still stubbornly rubbed the ball with his fingertips, which played a very key role, and the ball changed slightly and then grazed the far post and missed the goal!

Hiss~~~ The Liverpool fans in the stands couldn't help but gasp when they saw this ball. And Manchester United fans sighed regretfully!

Ferguson on the sidelines was already ready to celebrate, but halfway up his hand could only be taken back stupidly. However, Forlan's performance proved that his change was a success!

"Dudek made a fantastic save! He denied Forlan's must-have goal. United were given a corner and with one man less, this set-piece was clearly what they needed to take advantage of! ”

As the commentator said, set-pieces such as corners are really important for Manchester United, who are outnumbered and a goal behind, and the big men of the team have come to the box. There are only three players left in the midfield!

However, for Liverpool, centre-forward Heskey also returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense, so Manchester United did not suffer in the number of people in central midfield.

This time the Reds did not threaten from a corner, but Liverpool were not given a chance to counter-attack.

In this regard, Chen Xi is not in a hurry, because he knows very well that the backward Manchester United team will inevitably attack wildly, which means that he will have enough counterattack opportunities, as long as he can grasp it once, it can be fatal!

Shortly after that corner, a cross from the left by Ryan Giggs gave Ruud van Nistelrooy a dangerous header.

This made Benitez smell some danger on the sidelines, so he ran to the sidelines and loudly reminded the players not to take it lightly.

After a few threatening attacks in a row, it seemed that the disadvantage of Manchester United with one less man was not obvious, but as the game progressed, this weakness gradually became apparent.

As the game was about to enter the final ten minutes, Roy Keane launched an attack with a long pass directly in midfield to get a pass to Forlan who was inserted.

It's a pity that his pass failed to penetrate the Liverpool defence and was pushed out by Carragher.

Gerrard, who was outside the penalty area, received the ball and immediately sent the ball to the feet of Chen Xi on the left side!

After Chen Xi moved forward with the ball to attract Fu Qiong's defense, he passed the ball to Husky, who retreated to receive the ball, and then continued to plug it himself.

Husky received the ball and turned around and was about to pass a back ball to Owen, but found that Owen was in an offside position, so he gave up the idea, and at this time he saw Chen Xi inserted from behind him, and he passed the ball back to Chen Xi!

Chen Xi had already shaken off Fuqiong at this time, and in the face of Husky's pass, Chen Xi did not stop the ball, but directly pushed the ball forward, and the ball obediently passed through the not-so-obvious gap between Ferdinand and O'Shea.

Owen, who was just in the offside position, had already retreated to the position of not being offside, and at the moment of Chen Xi's pass, he started again!

"It was a scalpel-like pass and Edison hit the nail on the head like a surgeon!"

Ferdinand and O'Shea, two big men, are clearly no match for Owen, who is known for his speed, when it comes to coaching pure speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Owen had already thrown off the two of them and caught up with the ball, but he still didn't slow down.

After completely throwing O'Shea and Ferdinand away, Owen slowed down slightly, and in the face of Howard, he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner!

“gooooooooooooal！！！ Michael ~~~~~ Owen!! His speed was like a sharp blade, piercing the Manchester United defence and piercing the Manchester United goal! Of course, we can't forget Edison, who assisted him! There is no doubt that if Edison is put in the midfield position, he can also become a world-class person, he is simply an all-rounder who can do anything! Now the score is 3-1, and Liverpool, with one more man, have a two-goal advantage. With just over ten minutes left in the game, Manchester United are in a desperate situation! ”

At the moment when Owen formed a single knife, the Liverpool fans in the stands had already stood up from their seats. And when Owen sent the ball into the back of the net, they started cheering. Obviously, in their opinion, there is no suspense about winning this game!

Benitez on the sidelines also jumped up excitedly, the lead of one goal just now made him a little scared, and now the team is two goals ahead, and his team has definitely put three points in his pocket!

Owen flew over Anfield with his arms outstretched after the goal, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since his team had played so well in an English derby.

It's him! It was his arrival that changed the situation of the team! The image of Chen Xi suddenly appeared in Owen's heart, thinking of this, Owen, who was originally about to rush to the stands, turned around and ran towards Chen Xi!

"It's so beautiful, Edison!" When Owen ran almost a meter away from Chen Xi, he jumped up directly, hanging on Chen Xi like a sloth.

"Haha, the time you ran back was very timely! Otherwise, I won't be able to catch that gap! Chen Xi said excitedly, but he obviously preferred to hold women in this posture rather than big men, so he quickly put Owen down.

Looking at the Liverpudlian who was celebrating wildly, the expression on Ferguson's face was already frozen, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or helpless, only to see him walk to the sidelines and wave his hand at the players.

Manchester United's players naturally mean what it means in the end, it's time to attack like crazy!

Ferguson is also too lazy to make adjustments to the lineup, and now the five midfielders on the field can participate in the attack when they let go, and the two full-backs, even the tall central defenders, can also become an important weapon in the attack at critical times!

After the game resumed, Manchester United came out of the nest and began to encircle the Liverpool penalty area.

The crazy Red Devils are quite terrifying, even if they have one less, it still makes the Liverpool defenders feel a lot of pressure!

"Giggs takes the ball on the left and accelerates straight down the bottom cross!"

"Ruud van Nistelrooy heads the goal!"

"Oh~~~ The ball is over the crossbar!"

......" Roy Keane dribbled to the edge of the box and he didn't shoot directly from distance but crossed the ball! ”

"Fu Qiong shoots at the ball!"

"The South Africans couldn't hold the ball down because they were trying to get their hands dirty!"

......" Forlan received the ball, he cut inside again, and Reese still couldn't keep up with him! ”

"Xavi Alonso blocked it and the Uruguayan dubbed the ball to the edge of the box in time!"

"Roy Keane has a direct volley!"

"Fantastic save! Dudek once again denied Manchester United's dangerous shot, and Poland kept the goal alive! ”

…… All of a sudden, Manchester United, who were inferior in numbers, actually took the initiative on the field.

It's a pity that their attack only blossomed and did not bear fruit, making Manchester United fans happy again and again.

As time goes on, the chances of Manchester United trying to pull off the miracle of Liverpool against Arsenal are becoming more and more remote.

Finally, when the game was about to enter the injury time stage, Chen Xi completely pronounced the death sentence of Manchester United.

After neutralizing one of United's attacks, Rafael Benitez asked his players to press and use their numerical advantage to press from the front, so that they could not organise their attacks calmly.

For this reason, Benitez also made a special trip to replace Baros and Luis Garcia, hoping to use the physical advantage of these two to press in the front court!

Rafael Benitez's change to the last name worked very well, as United could no longer attack as easily as before, and instead were forced by Liverpool to scramble.

It was under Chen Xi's close pressing, Gary Neville made a mistake in his busyness, and when he passed the ball back to goalkeeper Howard, his footwork was not mastered well, and the ball passed to the left side of the penalty area!

Barosh immediately ran over at high speed, but fortunately, Howard's athleticism was much stronger than that of the average goalkeeper, and he threw the ball out of the box at the first time and kicked the ball out before Barosh!

It's a pity that Howard's hurried clearance failed to control the ball route, and the ball flew directly to the right side of the midfield.

The right side of Manchester United's midfield is also the left side of Liverpool, and Gary Neville has already run back after realizing his mistake, and there is only Chen Xi who stays in place.

Facing the ball flying directly towards him, Chen Xi didn't even stop the ball, and directly picked up his right foot and pumped the ball towards the empty goal!

Even if there is no adjustment, Chen Xi's footwork is still very good, his shooting height is not high, but the speed is very fast!

No matter who Howard or the Manchester United defenders were, they didn't have time to chase back, and they could only watch the ball fly into the goal!

“unbelievable！！！ It was an unbelievable goal! Edison actually sent the ball directly into the Manchester United goal in the midfield! It was Edison's third goal of the game and he scored a hat-trick! The former North London derby hero has become an English derby hero this time! He's a genius born for big scenes! The score became 4-1, and there was no more suspense in the game, and Liverpool would sweep Manchester United! Consolidate yourself at the top of the standings! ”

Boom~~~ There were also thunderous cheers from the stands at Anfield. In addition to Chen Xi's wonderful goal, they thought that their team would sweep their old rival Manchester United by a big score. It's been a long time since they've seen it! Some old fans even shed tears of excitement!

Rafael Benitez on the sidelines also hugged his assistants excitedly.

After scoring the goal, Chen Xi directly took off his jersey, stepped on the billboard, raised his hands high, and greeted the cheers of the fans!

"King Edison! King Edison! King Edison! ”

Chen Xi's step on the billboard is like a step to the throne, and this hat-trick in the English derby made him the king of Anfield!

Soon, Chen Xi's teammates all ran over, and they, like the fans, became subjects of King Edison.

A young man who is not yet 20 years old has become the king of Anfield, and no one would have believed it before, considering that even Owen, who became the Premier League's top scorer at the age of 19, did not do so. But Chen Xi did just that, he successfully conquered Anfield and became the master here!

There were no further incidents in the coronation ceremony, with the score remaining 4-1 to the finish line, and Liverpool won the English derby and continued their first Premier League title!
