Watching Foster, who was rolling and crawling, panicked and pressed the ball under him, although it was just a false alarm, but the fans of the Manchester United team at this time were really a little worried; Originally, they didn't care about Arsenal's crazy performance of scoring ten goals in the first two games of the league, they were serious that Arsenal caught the weak team and scored hard, but now in this game, they really felt Arsenal's attacking ability, and they really started to get nervous at this time.

Although Arsenal's ferocious attack shocked Manchester United, although this attack almost caused Manchester United to lose the goal, although at this time Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's angry roar sounded on the sidelines; However, this did not dampen the morale of Manchester United, who were not necessarily worse than Arsenal in attack, who won by five goals in the previous round!

Manchester United cannot allow Arsenal to run wild on their turf and they must suppress the arrogant Arsenal at this time. In the thirteenth minute of the game, the Arsenal defense was not decisive enough to make a big mistake; Arsenal's defenders did not choose to attack at the first time in the face of the sudden change of direction, so this also allowed Rooney to easily cross from the left, and Manchester United midfielder Fletcher chested the ball and swept high from yards in front of the small penalty area.

Although this made the Old Trafford stadium a sigh of regret, this attack seemed to be no worse than Arsenal's attack just now, which also made the morale of the Manchester United team rise in an instant. The match was a stalemate, and both sides were cautious, and they were able to understand the strength of their opponents. They can all understand the importance of this game. They simply don't dare to make mistakes. They can't let the other side take their chances.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester United midfielder Valencia was booked for a tactical foul on Alexander Song, and Arsenal began to become a little passive due to their weak defence. Then Klich hesitated to clear the ball in the box, Valencia blocked the ball, but fortunately Almunia came out to confiscate it, and Arsenal escaped again.

Xiao Qing felt that such passivity was not the way, which would only make the morale of the Manchester United team higher and higher. This will only make it very likely that United will have more initiative in the upcoming games. For Arsenal, they are an attacking team all the time, and in many cases, a fluid attack requires more possession; Arsenal don't dominate the midfield at the moment, and if Manchester United are allowed to continue to press in attack like this, then Arsenal are likely to be in a quagmire.

So now Xiao Qing must help the team do some things, he can't let Manchester United increase his attack in the midfield, he must contain a certain amount of attention from Manchester United; Although Arsenal's attack still looks a little hindered now, Xiao Qing believes that he still has a chance at this time.

In the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Xiao Qing broke through the penalty area. After attracting the defense, Xiao Qing split the ball, and Van Persie's shot from fifteen yards was blocked by Evra; Arsenal couldn't find the back of the net though. But got a corner. Then Arsenal almost opened the scoring, Van Persie took a corner, and Xiao Qing at the far post jumped high to flick his head above the head of the marked Manchester United defender O'Shea; However, United goalkeeper Forster barely managed to dedicate Xiao Qing's shot, and Arshavin pushed it from 12 yards in the scuffle, and the ball grazed the right-hand post.

Xiao Qing stomped his foot depressedly, this is really a very good opportunity, but I am very puzzled that Xiao Qing has never been able to score, in fact, this is a good quality shot, but in addition to the opponent's goalkeeper has played well, Arsenal seems to lack some luck is also an important reason.

A dangerous attack also affected United's previous ferocious attacking momentum, and the two teams once again began to fight cautiously, and they were even more careless with each other, because they could understand the opponent's desire to win, and they both knew that if they made some mistakes, they could be fatal.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Arsenal defender Gallas fouled Evra and received a yellow card; Rooney then fired a free-kick from the edge of the box on the left that went straight wide of the near corner. However, Manchester United did not seem to take advantage of it, and in the next leg, Patrice Evra was also booked for a foul on Arsenal full-back Sagna; This time Sagna crossed from the right, and United midfielder Fletcher tackled Van Persie from distance.

Both teams are cautious, they are constantly trying to impact the opponent's defense, they are constantly inducing or forcing the opponent to make mistakes; But now it seems that they are both difficult to help each other, because they are very familiar with each other, and now they are both vigilant, so it seems that it is not a simple thing to get more opportunities in the game, it may need a flash of genius performance or a good luck.

Arsenal's chance finally came, and their good fortune came again, of course, it was not just luck, but more of a reflection of the strength and the hard work of the players, which also allowed them to seize the opportunity in the game.

In the 40th minute of the game, Arsenal broke the deadlock, and Arsenal, who broke the ball in the midfield, quickly counterattacked; Denilson and Diaby's quick pass and cut the ball to advance, and Denilson, who hit the front, suddenly moved the ball in a wide range; Xiao Qing, who appeared on the left side, raised his foot to unload the ball, and in the face of Xiao Qing's quick inward cut, the defenders of the Manchester United team were like big enemies, and the exclamations at Old Trafford were getting louder and louder.

When Xiao Qing cut inside to the upper left corner of the penalty area, Xiao Qing suddenly slammed the ball; Arsenal midfielder Arshavin quickly cut in on the wing, and in the face of Xiao Qing's pass, the Russian Tsar shot hard from 25 yards on the left; Although this time Manchester United goalkeeper Forster jumped high with all his might, although his palms did touch the ball; But Foster couldn't save the ball with both palms and the ball deflected into the top left corner!

1 to 0! In the frantic boos that erupted after a brief silence at Old Trafford, Arshavin laughed wildly at Xiao Qing, who assisted; The Arsenal players are very excited and it is certainly a joy to score at Old Trafford, especially when the two teams have been in a stalemate for a long time, and it is undoubtedly a morale booster to score first!

Xiao Qing kept rubbing Arshavin's head, and the other players of Arsenal were all the same, constantly ravaging the goalkeepers; The Arsenal players who have taken the lead are confident enough to believe that their team can come out on top in this game, and they are confident enough to get the win in this big game. Even more than just a victory, they believe they can still be in front of the defending champions Manchester United at the end of the league!

The United players were undoubtedly frustrated at this time, although they did not fall behind at all before this goal, and even had a slight advantage; But after conceding the goal, everything has changed, now they are the laggards, and now it is undoubtedly increasing for them to win this game.

The Arsenal players cheered to end the first half, and the morale of the Arsenal players was confident that they would continue to push for the goal in the second half, believing that this game would be a victory for them. Both teams did not make any changes to their line-ups at half-time, and the second half will undoubtedly be more intense.

With high morale, Arsenal's players were anti-opponents, and their performances in the game were getting more and more frantic, and they began to suppress Manchester United in the game and prepare to beat them to the death, and they began the second half of the game with a bang of belief that they wanted to seal the win.

Arsenal almost doubled the score in the 48th minute, Arshavin burst into the left side of the box and crossed, Xiao Qing pushed the ball from the edge of the small box for the first time, but Manchester United goalkeeper Forster bravely stretched his leg to block the ball.

Xiao Qing hugged his head regretfully, he was completely frozen by Manchester United's goalkeeper in this game, and three consecutive high-quality shots were blocked by the goalkeeper's super-level performance, as long as he could grasp an opportunity, then Xiao Qing was basically able to help the team win in this game. But unfortunately, he is still a little bit away from scoring and he always seems to lack some luck.

Although Xiao Qing missed the advantage of expanding the score at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal's masterpiece of furious attack did not stop, and even at this time the exclamations at Old Trafford were everywhere, Manchester United were frightened by Arsenal's crazy attacking rhythm at the beginning of the second half, and now they look to have completely lost control of the game.

In the 51st minute of the game, Arsenal fullback Klich cut in a cross from the left, but unfortunately his pass was a little big, and Van Persie and Xiao Qing both missed the ball. Although Arsenal didn't pose much of a threat in attack this time around, Manchester United lost their rhythm and their players' mentality began to go wrong.

In the 55th minute of the game, Rooney lost his temper after being tackled for a breakthrough, but the referee unceremoniously gave him a yellow card; In the 60th minute of the game, Manchester United defender Brown senselessly fouled Xiao Qing outside the penalty area and incurred a yellow card; In the 63rd minute, Van Persie was fouled on the right and got a free kick, and Van Persie's free kick from the right side arced into the crossbar, and Manchester United once again escaped.

Manchester United are starting to panic a little bit, the mentality of the players is starting to go wrong; At this time, Arsenal's players are undoubtedly more confident, and they believe that as long as they continue to put pressure on Manchester United, then Manchester United may completely collapse at any time!
