Referee Howard was expressionless at this time, staring coldly at Leo Cork.

Howard could certainly hear the shouts of the Aston Villa fans in the stands, his face was grim.

It's not the first time Howard has faced such a threat, and in almost every game, Howard has been threatened by those fans, but not as ferocious as it is today.

Aston Villa's fans didn't fight individually, but collectively shouted neatly and attacked Howard, who would have such an ugly face.

If he hadn't been in referee clothes at this time, he would have turned around and pounced on the damn screaming Aston Villa fans like a hungry tiger, punching the garbage so hard that his whole family didn't know him.

Howard silently said in his heart, "Damn trash, you should rejoice! It was the referee who saved you! ”

The anger in Howard's heart naturally did not disappear, and now he vented all his anger on Leo Cork, Howard didn't say a word, directly took out a red card from his ass pocket, gave it to Leo Coke, and then waved his big hand towards the player's tunnel, and shouted coldly: "Out!"

Indeed, how Howard wanted to shout at this point, "Get-out!" It's a pity that now he is wearing a yellow referee uniform, he can't do this, he silently said in his heart again: "It was the referee uniform that saved you, you kid snicker!" ”

Leo Cork stared at Howard coldly, his eyes wide as if they were dead fish eyes, and he just stood there motionless in a posture that Lao Tzu was not convinced. As if he was going to do this to demonstrate to Howard.

The Aston Villa fans at the scene were very angry and began to frantically greet Howard's immediate family, raising their middle fingers at Howard like hooligans, and cursing Howard in their mouths.

On the sidelines, Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill was furious, yelling at the fourth official: "What is he doing? What basis does he have? What good did the damn Birmingham team give him? ”

The fourth official stared coldly at Martin O'Neill and warned, "Sir, be careful with your words, or we will invite you out." ”

Martin O'Neill stared coldly at the fourth official at this time, and the anger in his eyes could not be concealed.

Martin O'Neal wanted to rush up and punch the damn guy twice to let him know why the flowers were so red?

But he didn't, he restrained. Because he's still in the game, he can't just be sent off, otherwise Aston Villa will be finished.

Martin O'Neill immediately calmed down, but his sharp gaze was still fixed on the Fourth Official, as if he wanted to kill the Fourth Official with his gaze.

Inside the stadium, the Aston Villa players immediately rushed to Howard in a frenzy, asking Howard for an explanation and asking Howard to withdraw the red card for Leo Coke, at this time, they simply did not bother to pay attention to the Birmingham players.

Dongfang Chen came to Ji Chengyong, who was lying on the ground for treatment, and asked the team doctor Ji Chengyong's injury.

When the team doctor saw Dongfang Chen coming, he immediately raised his head and said to Dongfang Chen: "The problem is not particularly strict, but he can only go here for today's game." As for how long you want to rest, you have to check it carefully. ”

Dongfang Chen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Ji Chengyong's injury to be so severe, he frowned, and turned his head to stare coldly at the Aston Villa players.

Birmingham have already injured two people in midfield, Barry Ferguson and Lee Bowyer, and now Ji Chengyong is injured again, and the only people left who can use this are Emerson and Lee Carsley.

Stretcher, Dongfang Chen immediately signaled the stretcher to come up, and at the same time signaled the head coach MacLeish on the sidelines to change, Ji Chengyong is no longer good.

Seeing this situation, McLeish was also very unhappy, Ji Chengyong was just discovered by him, and his appearance was also very good, he originally planned to let Ji Chengyong become the team's starter during this time, but this time Ji Chengyong was also injured, what should I do next?

Substitutions, now they have to be substitutions, McLeish called Emerson off the bench.

"It seems that Ji Chengyong is not going to work, and the Birmingham team have now made a substitution, and they have replaced South Korean midfielder Ji Chengyong with Brazilian Emerson." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

At this time, Howard was motioning for Leo Cork to get off the court, Leo Cork and Howard were in a stalemate, there was still no way, he had to get off the court, otherwise he would be punished more severely in the game.

Although he was very unconvinced and unhappy, Leo Cork still had no choice, he had to do it, and left the court very reluctantly and walked to the players' tunnel. In the players' tunnel, Leo Cork finally broke out, a punch hit the same glass of the player, and the instant loud sound came, startling the security personnel at the player's tunnel, they immediately rushed over, only to find the broken glass and the bleeding Leo Cork from the fist.

The security personnel frowned and immediately stepped forward, and the two carried Leo Cork to the Aston Villa dressing room, fearing that Leo Cork would damage the facilities at St Andrews Stadium.

Leo Cork struggled all the way, roaring all the way, which made the two security guards angry, and almost made his two or nine Leo Cork move, but fortunately they held back and threw Leo Cork into the locker room.

On the pitch, the Aston Villa players could not accept the fact of Leo Coke's red card, and they still surrounded Howard for an explanation, Howard stared at the Aston Villa players with a cold face, warning the Aston Villa players.

The Aston Villa players reluctantly walked back, but their expressions were very unfriendly, as if they were holding back their anger.

Howard knew that this game was not easy to control, and he had to be strict, otherwise the game would fall apart.

Substitutions, Birmingham replaced the injured Ji Chengyong with Emerson.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, did not make a substitution, but returned Ashley Young to the midfield on the front line, Petrov leaned towards the middle, and Aston Villa's formation immediately became a four-four-one.

From a free-kick in the middle of the Birmingham team, Kevin Boateng immediately drove the football into the Aston Villa penalty area with a big kick, and Dongfang Chen jumped high in the penalty area and directly ferried the football to Sturridge in the middle with a header.

Sturridge volleyed straight at the ball, but Aston Villa's defender Boma was quicker than Sturridge and kicked the ball out of the box first.

The ball immediately flew to the center circle, and Abang Rajo immediately caught the ball and was about to turn around, but at this moment, a kick reached out from behind him and stabbed the ball off his feet.

The ball immediately rolled towards Emerson in front of Abang Lajo, who didn't say a word and moved the ball to the side.

After Sebastian Larsson received the ball on the wing, a false shake shook Aston Villa's full-back Luke Young, and immediately crossed with his feet, Luke Young was furious in his heart, and immediately reached out and pulled Sebastian Larsson to the ground.

Honk! Howard immediately blew the whistle in his mouth and sped to the side.

The Birmingham fans immediately shouted wildly: "Red card! Red! Red! Punish this guy! Punish it! ”

Aston Villa fans were screaming frantically that Birmingham's Sebastian Larsson was faking a fall, and frantically slamming Sebastian Larsson.

At this time, Luke Young was very nervous because he already had a yellow card on him. At this time, he didn't need a red card, he only needed a yellow card and he was going to be sent off, so Luke Young was very nervous at this time.

In fact, after reaching out to pull Sebastian Larsson down, Luke Young still regretted it.

Dongfang Chen naturally knew that Luke Yang already had a yellow card on his body, so he immediately rushed up and rushed to Howard and shouted: "Mr. referee, he ruined a very good chance for us this time, we have a chance to score!" At the very least, this should be a yellow card, I don't think it's an exaggeration to give a red card! ”

And Sturridge, who was beside Dongfang Chen, said even more jealously: "I look at it as an act of revenge, and this should be a direct red card!" ”

Howard immediately turned around and stared coldly at Dongfang Chen and the two, and said lightly: "I know how to punish myself, you just take care of yourself." ”

Howard first looked at Sebastian Larson, who had fallen to the ground, and seeing that Sebastian Larsson was fine, he walked up to Luke Young and called Luke Young aside.

Seeing Howard call himself aside, Luke Young's heart instantly plummeted, he thought he was going to be sent off, who knew that this time Howard was merciful, just a simple warning to Luke Young, Luke Young instantly breathed a sigh of relief, just almost scared him to death.

Dongfang Chen was naturally a little dissatisfied, he came to Howard's side and said, putting pressure on Howard.

Howard ignored Dongfang Chen and motioned for Dongfang Chen to return to the penalty area, and Howard gave Birmingham a direct free kick on the side.

The free-kick was too far away for a direct shot, it could only be passed.

Aston Villa's defenders returned to their penalty areas and followed the attacking players of Birmingham City City closely.

Curtis Davis immediately followed Dongfang Chen, he stuck to Dongfang Chen like a piece of kraft candy, not giving Dongfang Chen any chance.

Seeing Curtis Davis clinging to himself like kraft candy, Dongfang Xin frowned slightly, and then he immediately gestured to Kevin Boateng opposite him with his eyes.

At this moment, Sebastian Larsson, who was on the wing, immediately raised his right hand and ran quickly towards the football.

At this time, Dongfang Chen immediately turned around, faced Curtis Davis head-on, raised his hands and pushed Curtis Davis fiercely.

Curtis Davis immediately judged in his heart that Dongfang Chen must have wanted to rush to the back point, and he immediately carried Dongfang Chen to the back point, not letting Dongfang Chen go to the back point.

At this moment, Kevin Boateng of the Birmingham team rushed over and carried Curtis Davis with his strong body.

At this moment, Dongfang Chen suddenly turned around and rushed out towards the front point.

Curtis Davis was shocked, he squeezed forward fiercely, but Kevin Boateng was carrying him tightly, he couldn't move, so he had to watch Dongfang Chen rush forward.

Throwing off Curtis Davis, Dongfang Chen easily came to the front point, and when he came to lead the front point, the football flew over.

The unmarked Dongfang Chen jumped up high in the frightened eyes of Aston Villa fans and shook his head at the ball!
