Chapter 131: An Angry Draw

To be honest, because of the referee's misjudgment, Arsenal's players must have been affected, and Xiao Qing also received a yellow card because of this. Xiao Qing now feels that he is slowly starting to become a big yellow card, but although he got a yellow card, in order to help the team get more treatment, Xiao Qing doesn't mind that his temper is bigger.

Although the goal was blown, although this did make the Arsenal players very unhappy, of course, there was some impatience, but Xiao Qing believes that this situation will definitely be reversed, and he believes that Arsenal will score a goal. Although there is not much time left in the game now, Xiao Qing will continue to work hard to score goals.

In the eighty-first minute of the game, Arsenal scored again only five minutes after Xiao Qing's goal was blown, and this time the referee seemed to have no reason to blow Arsenal's goal.

Birmingham have struggled to break down Arsenal's defence, so they're more likely to play long balls; Arsenal defender Campbell scrambled the ball high to Nasri, who dribbled diagonally from the right touchline; Birmingham's defenders didn't get up in the first place, as Xiao Qing seemed to be more threatening. Nasri, on the other hand, did not hesitate to volley with his right foot from 20 yards out.

In fact, it was already a very dangerous shot, and the Birmingham defenders may not be able to block it very well. But Xiao Qing felt that he could do better, after all, Birmingham goalkeeper Hart, who had some preparation, was already adjusting his position; Although the speed of the ball was fast, Xiao Qing in the small penalty area reacted quickly. He suddenly stretched his leg and made a slight block, and the ball, which was speeding towards the left, suddenly changed its trajectory. This time Birmingham goalkeeper Hart couldn't do anything. Because Xiao Qing's block completely made the ball fly towards the goal on the right side.

The ball went into the net. 1 to 0! Xiao Qing's beautiful kick in front of goal made the young England international powerless, and Xiao Qing's outstanding performance once again helped Arsenal take the lead. Xiao Qing was very excited after the goal, and the moment the ball drilled into the net, Xiao Qing had already rushed towards the corner kick area; Xiao Qing, who was facing away from the media area, pointed to the jersey number and name behind him in a high-profile manner, this is another goal for him!

1-0, although Arsenal is now only a one-goal lead in hand, but Arsenal's players are absolutely sure that they will take away Zuihou's victory in this game, Xiao Qing believes that Arsenal will definitely be able to continue to sprint in the league. Arsenal are now on a seven-game winning streak and are hoping to seal the league title once and for all. They hope to win the league championship in a few rounds of the league in advance in such a big haode state!

Arsenal are on a strong streak and now as long as they continue their winning streak, they will soon be able to secure the league title once and for all; Arsenal are doing well at the moment and they are likely to have essentially cut off Chelsea's hopes of winning the league title after this round. Arsenal are one step closer to the league title and the Gunners appear to be avenging their loss of title hopes at St Andrews two years ago.

But in the Zuihou moment of the game, it really was the Zuihou moment, because it was stoppage time and with just a few more minutes of the Gunners holding on, they could walk away with a win and a vital three points at the St Andrews Stadium. But at this time, Arsenal are out of reach. They were incredibly equalised by Birmingham.

In the 91st minute of the game, Birmingham midfielder Gardner's pass from the edge of the penalty area was cleared and hit the face of substitute teammate Phillips and rebounded high. Almunia pounced on his back, but the ball drew a parabola and hoisted into the Arsenal goal, 1-1!

Everyone was dumbfounded, even the Birmingham fans were already desperate, but they didn't expect the team to equalise in such dramatic fashion. The St Andrews stadium fell silent for a short time, but soon erupted into frantic cheers; The Birmingham players who survived the catastrophe celebrated wildly on the pitch, and the Birmingham fans erupted in more and more crazy cheers at this time.

Xiao Qing and his teammates were really completely dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the team would concede the goal in such a dramatic way at the moment of the game, and they didn't expect that Arsenal would only get a point in such a depressed way.

St Andrews Stadium is really not a blessed place for Arsenal, maybe they want to win the game too much, maybe they are too confident in their ability to score in stoppage time, or maybe they want to sweep away the haze of years with a complete victory, anyway, at St Andrews Stadium, when Arsenal faced this bitter opponent who had put them in a catastrophe two years ago and took a 1-0 lead, the team did not play smart. Not focusing on possession, being too scattered, being very focused, not knowing how to play the ball properly with the players, and all these things that shouldn't happen to a title team, but it all happened to Arsenal.

Since the chaos of the formation, the consequences can be imagined, Gardner's cross is indeed the reason why Arsenal's full-backs did not press; And more importantly, why Almunia is extremely weak in the face of the incoming ball, if the starting height is a little higher, why is the ball just touched by the fingertips and unable to change the course and fly towards the goal!

History repeats itself, with Arsenal once again falling to St Andrews, and the Premier League title and luck once again abandoning the Gunners. Although Manchester United still have a big game against Chelsea in the next round, everyone knows that Arsenal's hopes of winning the title are "back to before liberation". Ending a six-game winning streak with a draw and immediately starting the Champions League clash against Barcelona was by no means the opening of the HAODE.

Two years ago, on February 23, it was a day that Arsenal fans will remember for a lifetime, Eduardo broke his leg at the beginning, and the young Gunners were at a loss for a while, but with Theo Walcott's brace Arsenal had a two-goal lead, but Zuihou gave the opponent a penalty because of Klich's distraction, when the captain Gala was angry, painful, and frustrated, and became alone to the midfield. Although the final 2-2 score did not completely destroy Arsenal's lead over Manchester United, Gala's tearful action after the game seemed to affect the team, and it has since slumped, and even turned into a two-horse contest between Chelsea and Manchester United at the end of the season.

At Birmingham, it should have been Arsenal's best chance of winning another Premier League title in six years, but Arsene Wenger has not fielded his strongest squad for the Champions League and some injuries. Is it true that as people say, Wenger has divided all competitions into three, six, nine and so on, so he can send a baby soldier in the League Cup final, can play a ragtag team in the FA Cup devil away, and naturally can also let the opponent "car and horse" in the Premier League, it seems that Arsenal will always focus on the next game, not the game in front of them.

If it weren't for Almunia Zuihou's habitual mistakes, people might not be aware of the existence of this bug, Arsenal won seven consecutive league wins, and the next round is waiting to see Manchester United and Chelsea, but Spain's "non-international" once again showed the fatality of Wenger's philosophy at a critical moment, Arsenal can always win applause for the smooth attack, but will always be broken in when the door needs to be closed the most; The great reason that the gunman is young can always give people a lot of hope, but sooner or later it will be brutally shattered......

"We're going to fight to the end, that's what we have to do. It was a disappointment for me today, but again, we have to get back and keep fighting. Arsene Wenger was disappointed with the draw, and in addition to some of the team's own problems, Arsene Wenger also blasted Birmingham and the referee.

'It's hard for us to play at our level on this pitch. Cesc Fabregas did get a knock on his knee and I wanted to bring him off, but he said he could hold on. I can't stand their egregious fouls. I can't give any advice on how to avoid these fouls, and if there is, to hell with the damn fouls" Arsene Wenger was furious, not only because a draw had temporarily deprived Arsenal of their ability to secure the league title even further, but also because Cesc Fabregas' injury was likely to affect Arsenal's preparations.

'I understand Shaw's anger and for the referee I think I'll give him some gifts. Shaw is preparing, and so am I. Arsene Wenger also questioned Birmingham's goal, with the Frenchman claiming the equaliser was suspected of offside. With Birmingham pressing hard and Gardner picking up a cross, Kevin Phillips kept the ball out of the net, and Almunia couldn't stop it from hanging over his head into the net, even though his fingertips touched the ball. Arsene Wenger's focus was not on the player who touched the ball, but on Birmingham No.11 Benitez being in an offside position to distract Almunia as Benitez ran alongside Kevin Phillips in the moment of Gardner's pass. 'I couldn't understand their goal, one player was even offside by a metre and that's how they scored. Yes, I'm not sure if their goal was offside or not, and of course I don't know what to say. ”

Even if Arsenal are angry, even if Wenger is dissatisfied; But now Arsenal did have a dramatic equaliser at Birmingham, who continue to play the role of Arsenal's bitter master. Although Arsenal still have some advantages in the standings, it definitely brings some difficulties for Arsenal, who are ready to go all out to win the league title, because the situation is already very good, and Arsenal find that their mistakes have given their opponents a chance.
