Arsenal's better players on the header have squeezed in front of the goal at this time, this is a very good position free kick opportunity, now Arsenal is likely to rely on this opportunity to score, for this Champions League qualifying they are quite important, so at this time they must be full of every opportunity.

As for Celtic, although they feel tricky about their opponents in the qualifying round is Arsenal, they will definitely go all out in order to be able to reach the Champions League; Especially with Arsenal's seemingly decent headers, Celtic believe their defences are even better.

Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas stood in front of the penalty spot one after the other, and the two free-kick takers were still relatively sure of the free-kick opportunity in such a position, after all, it was only a free-kick at the edge of the penalty area. It's just that the human wall of Celtic at this time almost perfectly blocked the angle of the direct free kick, so at this time, maybe the free kick is a good opportunity.

Xiao Qing was wrestling with Cardwell, the two were crowded in the small penalty area and kept pushing and shoving, they both wanted to get more opportunities, and they both hoped to take the initiative in the competition for free kicks this time. However, both of them are relatively experienced, and although they continue to make small movements, they can still be within the scope of the referee's approval.

When the referee blew the whistle, when Van Persie ran to the ball first; Xiao Qing suddenly pushed away Cardwell, who was attached to his body, and Xiao Qing, who raised his right hand high, quickly ran back and rushed to the hinterland of the penalty area.

The Celtic wall was deceived, and when they saw Van Persie take the lead, they subconsciously thought he was just covering. The real penalty taker will be Cesc Fabregas. But when they saw Van Persie's toe gently pick the ball. The Celtic defenders regretted it as the ball grazed their heads and flew into the box, but it was too late.

Seeing the ball slowly falling, Xiao Qing held back his strength at this time; Xiao Qing, who quickly rushed into the hinterland, jumped high on his chest to stop the ball, and with his back to the goal, he didn't even make adjustments at this time and directly half-turned volleys when he just landed, because he knew that once some time was delayed, then the Celtic defenders would be in place, after all, the penalty area at this time could be said to be quite crowded.

The Celtic Park stadium was filled with exclamations. No one thought that Xiao Qing would be so confident, and they didn't expect Xiao Qing to choose such a difficult shot. But Xiao Qing's right foot slammed into the middle of the ball, and when the Celtic defenders subconsciously wanted to block the eye, the ball had already flown past them, and as for the Celtics' Zuihou defense, that is, their goalkeeper didn't seem to have reacted at this time, because Boruts didn't expect Xiao Qing's shot to be so sudden!

Seeing the goal hit the net, Xiao Qing stared at Cardwell, who had been brutally fouled by him before, and scored with such a domineering shot, and now Xiao Qing has reason to be proud.

Although the Celtic Park stadium at this time was booed. But Xiao Qing didn't care; He scored his first goal in the Champions League, although it was only a goal in Champions League qualification. But Xiao Qing is still quite proud; He helped the team to take a 1-0 lead away from home, which also means that Arsenal is now one step closer to the Champions League main game, Xiao Qing believes that Arsenal will perform better in the next games, and he believes that Arsenal will not give Celtic more chances.

Arsenal who have taken the lead are full of morale, although in this game because of Celtic's simple foul tactics and dense defense in the midfield and backfield, the Gunners did not score as crazy as in the league opener, but at this time can break the Celtic goal, which is enough to show that the current Arsenal can actually continue to attack Celtic's seemingly airtight defense, they still have the opportunity to expand the score and strive to lock the absolute initiative in the Champions League in the first leg of the game.

As for the defense, Arsenal may be deficient in the back line compared to those giants, but it is also a pretty good backline; Especially when Celtic are only a single striker in this game, Arsenal is naturally sure that they will be able to guarantee not to concede goals. Now that Arsenal are ahead of the curve on their way to qualifying for the Champions League, they will not miss a great opportunity at this time.

Celtic restarted halfway through and the game resumed. But just a minute after Celtic kicked off, Arsenal defender Alexander Anderson. After Song broke the ball in midfield, the Gunners quickly launched a counterattack; Cesc Fabregas dribbled quickly and split the ball and Van Persie fired a diagonal shot from the left side of the box, but it was missed. Three minutes later, Denilson's left-footed shot from the edge of the box went just wide after receiving a pass from Arshavin.

Although a series of shots went wide, although Arsenal only ended the first half with a 1-0 lead; But the Arsenal players are still quite happy, because they completely suppressed Celtic in the game, and now the rhythm of the game is firmly controlled by Arsenal. For the possession rate is significantly higher than that of Celtic, although this cannot explain everything, it is enough to prove that Arsenal now has the initiative, and now it depends on Arsenal's face to attack and defend.

At the start of the second half, Arsenal, who had taken a one-goal lead, were not satisfied, they were still attacking aggressively at this time hoping to extend the score, and they were still trying to find more opportunities to score at this time.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Xiao Qing burst into the penalty area and forced a shot that was blocked, and in the 56th minute of the game, Xiao Qing and Van Persie coordinated with a small range of passes in the penalty area, although Van Persie's shot grazed the post and missed the goal, but this was really scared of the Celtic in a cold sweat, and now they look really powerless, and now they look like they are going to be completely torn apart by Arsenal.

Celtic's players are a little panicked, and Arsenal, who were thought to have fallen in strength, now look like they can't resist at all, even if they have deliberately strengthened their defense in this game. Celtic defender Fox and midfielder Ngomer have been yellow cards late to Xiao Qing and Cesc Fabregas, and at this time Celtic can only passively change two people in a row in order not to be expanded by Arsenal, and now they really can't withstand a bigger blow.

However, in the 65th minute of the game, the Arsenal midfielder, who had just come on as a substitute, split the ball to the left side, and Arsenal full-back Klich, who had inserted an assist on the wing, crossed from the side.

Although some are slightly to the left, Xiao Qing is still energetic at this time; stepped on the ball a little to control the rhythm, and saw the Celtics defender Cardwell pounce violently, Xiao Qing suddenly and gently pushed the ball forward at this time. Facing Cardwell, Xiao Qing rushed over with even more momentum.

Xiao Qing's speed is not very fast, but the footwork under his feet is very rhythmic; In the face of Cardwell, who was getting closer and closer, Xiao Qing's right foot gently touched the bottom of the ball. But just when Cardwell subconsciously wanted to move sideways, Xiao Qing's toes gently swiped the ball in the opposite direction.

The Celtics Park stadium was full of exclamations, no one thought that Xiao Qing at this time would boldly play the skill of the ox's tail in the slightly crowded penalty area, and more importantly, Cardwell at this time was caught off guard and completely broken through by Xiao Qing, especially tragically, Cardwell, who lost his balance under his feet, did not even have a chance to make amends, because he was shaken down by Xiao Qing! Of course, Cardwell's own carelessness is also a large part of the reason, although he has seen a lot of Xiao Qing's information in the preparation before the game, but the ox tail is outstanding, which Xiao Qing has never used in the game, and he didn't even hear a little wind in training!

Because of Cardwell's misalignment, the Celtics' originally relatively complete defense line instantly appeared porous, and when Xiao Qing quickly dribbled the ball to the goal, the other Celtics' defensive players had to choose to fill the position. At this time, Xiao Qing suddenly knocked the ball lightly when he was advancing with the ball, and a frightened cry came from the Celtic Park stadium in an instant; Because the Arsenal midfielder Fabregas, who followed up in the middle, was outflanked in place, in the face of Xiao Qing's horizontal pass, Fabregas easily pushed the upper right corner of the goal, and the Celtic goalkeeper who was completely attracted by Xiao Qing was unable to return to the sky.

"It's two to zero, guys!" Fabregas shouted excitedly, although Fabregas on the pitch was very calm and old-fashioned, but now he is only twenty-two years old after all, and he has reason to be happy when he scored a goal that almost sealed the victory in such a game.

"Guys, we're great, we've qualified for the Champions League!" Xiao Qing was also very excited, and took a 2-0 lead, which almost pronounced the death sentence for Celtic, which almost made Arsenal step into the Champions League with half a foot. Although there are two home and away games in the Champions League qualifying round, Arsenal is now away with a two-goal lead, which means that if Celtic want to reach the Champions League, they need to win at least three goals against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium!

Xiao Qing is very cool, and he has really made a pretty good start in the two games since he transferred to Arsenal; Although this is just the beginning, Xiao Qing believes that even if there are a few twists and turns, with Arsenal's strength and confidence, they can really do a big job this season!
