On 1 February 2010, Manchester United travelled to the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal in the 24th round of the 2009-10 English Premier League. Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four league games with two wins and two draws, but the Red Devils have drawn two and lost two of their last four away league games. And this is also the 42nd dialogue between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, the two Premier League "longevity" managers, after the Lord won 16 wins, 11 draws and 14 defeats.

Because Arsenal's main defender Alexander Song has returned to the team from the Africa Cup of Nations competition, Arsenal's starting XI has made several changes compared to the midweek game against Villa, with Vermaelen and Ramsey replaced by Nasri and Song respectively. For Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand began to be sent off in prison, so Brown filled the vacancy at centre-back, and Park Ji-sung also replaced Ryan Giggs in the starting line-up, with Wayne Rooney still playing as a lone arrow.

Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia; Defenders, Sania, Garra, Campbell, Clichy; In midfield, the midfielders Song and Denilson; The attackers were Cesc Fabregas, Nasri and Arshavin; On the forward line, it is naturally Xiao Qing.

Manchester United's goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar; Rafael, Brown, Evans, Evra in the back line; Midfielders include Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Nani; Park; He is also a lone striker, Wayne Rooney.

Both teams coincidentally put on a 4-5-1 single-arrow lineup in this pinnacle battle, and the two top strikers appeared at the top of the team, and they will be the biggest factor in determining the ownership of this game, which is also the contest between Xiao Qing and Rooney that fans and the media are looking forward to! Although Rooney became famous at a young age, Xiao Qing's rapid rise even surpassed Rooney to a certain extent. So this game is important for both strikers at this time. Because this is likely to be the match that decides the Premier League's number one striker!

The first half opened. Both teams made a slight number of passing errors and both teams were hungry to get a win in this game, and they worked hard in the game. The effort showed that they worked harder to fight for opportunities on the offensive end, and more aggressive scrambling on the defensive end was also one of the performances, which is why the two teams made more mistakes at the beginning of the game.

In the third minute, Fletcher suffered a sliding tackle and lost the ball in front, and Arsenal quickly counterattacked with a long pass; Arshavin went down quickly, and his cross gave Xiao Qing the opportunity to push on the left side of the box. It's a pity that Xiao Qing couldn't handle the last kick in defense.

In the seventh minute, Fletcher's cross from the right was broken up by Garni's leg before Rooney. A minute later, Nani broke through on the right and crossed, Park Ji-sung shook Almunia to get the ball, and Song grabbed the ball before Carrick cleared the ball. Nani's corner kick was cleared by Denilson's header towards his own goal, but Nasri, who was at the post, kicked the ball out to avoid an own goal.

The emotions of the fans were really emotional, and this summit battle did not disappoint them, although the two teams did have a relatively obvious mistake at the beginning of the game. But their hard work on the offensive end also made the game seem fast-paced from the start. Both teams are trying to take the initiative in the game, and both teams are trying to take the lead. Now it may be time to see the performance of the superstars who have the power to determine the outcome of the game.

Xiao Qing behaved very calmly, the significance of this game Xiao Qing naturally understood, but Xiao Qing did not bear a heavy burden because of the importance of this game; Although Xiao Qing also understands that a true superstar needs to play well in key games, he also knows that only an eye-catching game in an important game can conquer fans and the media more. But Xiao Qing did not show impatience because of these, Xiao Qing knew that only by keeping a normal heart and following the rhythm of the team step by step could he have a better performance.

The players of both teams are unreserved at this time, they are both eager to win against their opponents, and they both want to help the team win and try to get ahead of the league title; Of course, there is no shortage of attention to such an unusually interesting battle for the top spot, and the players also hope to be praised for their outstanding performance in this game. There is no doubt that this battle for the top spot is one of the most interesting games of the season, and it is a game that has the potential to change the course of the league and decide the league title.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Arshavin forced Brown into the penalty area and then got up and missed the far corner again. Subsequently, Xiao Qing's foot test outside the penalty area was also off. In the sixteenth minute, Song stepped directly on Nani's ankle and received a yellow card. Four minutes later, Scholes failed to shovel Xiaofa, who smashed the ball and dodged the steal and sent a pass in front of the penalty area; Xiaofa sent the ball to Xiao Qing in the penalty area in time, but Xiao Qing kicked under Evans' interference; The ball deviated from Xiao Qing's scheduled shooting line and landed right at the feet of Xiaofa, but Evans made up in time to destroy the ball. In the 24th minute, Gara inserted a right-footed shot and flew away. In the 27th minute, Rafael crossed from the right, Denilson failed to clear the ball, and Nani stabbed the shot wide in the penalty area.

In the first half hour of the game, both teams were attacking, but they were unable to get more chances to shoot, although they both created many chances to shoot, but they also failed to make more threats to each other, they were helpless.

In the first half hour of the game, both teams were evenly matched on the pitch, they were both in very good form, they were both in pretty good performance. All that the two teams may lack is luck and they can both have chances to score.

In such a close game, both teams obviously have obvious strengths, but they obviously don't have too many fatal flaws; Perhaps they can exploit the shortcomings of their opponents in the game to create more chances, which is also a requirement for a team that aspires to win the title. In such a game, details and so on may be able to change the trend of the game, and some accidents on the field can also change the trend of the game to a large extent.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Nani knocked the ball with his right heel and broke through Klich and Nasri, and after a successful pass, Nani cut inside to get rid of Denilson's block, and shot from a small angle, Almunia jumped up and accidentally "saved" the ball into his own net with one hand. Own goal, Arsenal actually fell behind in such a dramatic way in such a pinnacle battle!

Everyone was dumbfounded, and everyone at the Emirates Stadium felt incredible; Arsenal are 1-0 down by one goal at home and they are temporarily behind in this title race!

The goal conceded was rather bizarre, and if Clichy had not done his job of "passing the ball but passing the ball" and should have played the board, Almunia's suicidal save would have been even more ridiculous. Arsenal's much-maligned backline have once again made a big mistake, they have put the team in passivity, and they have once again proved in this tearless moment that they really need to strengthen the iron law of defending if they want to win the title!

After the goal, Arsenal fought back but suffered another blow at the back. In the 37th minute, Arsenal's corner kick was cleared, and Galla, who was unwilling to be lonely, even wanted to perform a trick of dribbling the ball in the backfield, but Park Ji-sung quickly stuffed it to Rooney after a steal; Park Ji-sung passed to Wayne Rooney, Chubby handed it to Nani, and the Portuguese winger raced to the front of the field and sent it to Rooney in stride, who scored his 20th league goal with his right foot from 10 yards, and his 100th Premier League goal.

0-2, Arsenal completely fell into passivity in the game, and it is undoubtedly a huge difficulty to score two goals in a row on Manchester United, and Arsenal really has a tendency to self-destruct at this time!

Watching the little chubby Rooney celebrate wildly at the Emirates Stadium, the Arsenal players were dumbfounded, and the Arsenal fans were also dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that the team was actually two goals behind in just five minutes, and this was when the team's back line took the initiative to make mistakes one after another!

What does it mean to play with fire and self-immolation? Gala is a striking example. The collective convulsions of the Arsenal defender and goalkeeper have left the fans in pain, and Arsenal themselves have pushed themselves to the edge of the cliff in this crucial battle worth six points! The gunner's rear wall was not reinforced concrete, but a fake tofu slag project. No matter how many weak teams the Gunners can win, as long as they can't maintain a consistent performance against strong opponents, Wenger's dream of winning the league title is destined to be a flash in the pan!

Arsene Wenger threw away his coat angrily, and the Arsenal players were completely stunned on the pitch one by one; Originally, they still had a close performance with Manchester United, but it was only in the blink of an eye that Arsenal completely fell into passivity, they almost had no chance in such a crucial game, and the possibility of them winning the league became more difficult at this time!

Xiao Qing was helpless, and of course angry; It's a big game, but the team is now self-destructing, and now Arsenal are really playing with fire. It's a big deal, and Arsenal are likely to have their entire season of league work undone by making a few mistakes in this game. Xiao Qing is very unwilling, this game can't be lost, at least not in this way, so Xiao Qing will work hard, although he knows that it is difficult, but there are still nearly sixty minutes, which is enough for Xiao Qing to start Zuihou's efforts!
