Chapter 332: Toffee

It turns out that the narrator's worries are a bit unnecessary!

Li Zihan and Mesut Ozil played for ten minutes, and after getting familiar with the rhythm, they immediately expanded the score for Arsenal.

Walcott's sharp sideline breakthrough and then handed it to Ozil, who was pulled over in the middle, Ozil faced the defense of the opponent's back and sent a beautiful long pass over the top, Li Zihan instantly started in front of the opponent's central defender, inserted it back, and successfully countered offside.

Li Zihan, who received the ball behind the opponent's central defender, quickly formed a single knife, and Li Zihan, who did not think about life, faced the goalkeeper who attacked, and in the penalty area, about fifteen yards away, he pushed the shot, and the tricky angle made the goalkeeper powerless.

Two to zero! Arsenal had the complete upper hand and it was the three who came off the bench who scored a brilliant goal.

Li Zihan !! What a crazy striker!! Although his body does not pay attention to meeting the needs of a center forward, and although his heading ability does not meet the standards of a center forward at all, it is !! The state of the goal can't be stopped!! He proved with his ability and performance that a striker who stands in the middle of the pitch is not necessarily a centre-forward!! ”

"Sharp goal! It was his 10th goal in the league! And with four goals still in the Champions League, I think Juventus has already begun to regret selling Juventus so early or so cheaply, right? ”

Now in the league's scorer list, Li Zihan is second with 10 goals, while Liverpool striker Suarez, who is also in hot form, is first with a one-goal lead.

In the end, Arsenal won the game on their home turf, and the most satisfying thing for Arsenal was that they did not make much effort, which is more important for the Premier League, which has a tight schedule.

The match against Hull City is a make-up game on Tuesday, and there is still a league game to play at the end of the week, on the 12th and 17th.

There was no time to make corrections, and three days later Arsenal continued to welcome Everton's adjustments, but fortunately this round was still playing at home, instead of running to Liverpool.

This season's Toffees have done better than before after leaving David Moyes and welcoming former FA Cup champion coach Martinez. After 14 rounds of league play, they are currently ranked fifth in the league, and may even hit the fourth place in the league Champions League.

This was unthinkable in the Moyes era, and now Moyes's Manchester United, the last game was a 2-2 draw with relegation team Cardiff City, and the last game was a 0-0 loss to Everton facing Arsenal in this round, and the current league ranking has come to seventh place.

Everton won at Old Trafford, the legendary Theatre of Dreams, for the first time in history. Dramatically, the current Manchester United manager is David Moyes, who has abandoned the toffees.

And the fans even joked that seeing Manchester United's current results, Everton is much more relieved. It is also said that David Moyes brought defending champions Manchester United to Everton, while Martinez brought Everton to Manchester United

Considering Everton's victory over their old rivals Manchester United in the last round, Arsenal did not dare to be careless about this game. Despite the Champions League clash coming up in midweek, Arsene Wenger has a regular and varied squad for this game.

The likes of Podolski, Mesut Ozil, Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey started the game, while Medsat and Koscielny also started Arsenal's main centre-back duo this season. Szczesny was the goalkeeper, while Li Zihan was on the bench for the next round of matches, starting with French striker Olivier Giroud.

Everton have played quite well this season, and the midfield is no worse organized than the big teams. Among them, the young player Ross Barkley, the loaned Spaniard Deulopeu, Naismith and other post-90s youngsters performed eye-catchingly, and the Belgian striker Lukaku, who is also on loan and is known as a little monster!

The first half was very close, Everton and Arsenal almost played in the way of passing and receiving, so the attacking scenes of the two teams were very good, and the Toffees did not conservatively swing the bus because they were facing Arsenal, and the neutral fans who watched it were addicted.

It's just that the back and forth attacks of the two sides did not score, and Everton's American goalkeeper Howard performed quite eye-catching.

Podolski's incision and Giroud's header were both confiscated by him, especially in terms of defensive headers, which made Porti and Giroud cry.

And Everton's attack is also booming, Arsenal knows Lukaku's threat, so they are also strictly guarded by the little monster, but they didn't expect that this gave Deulopeu and Ross Barkley behind him more opportunities.

The final score of 0-0 in the first half ended the game, which was a dull scoreline, but the process was not dull at all.

At the start of the second half, Arsenal made the first substitution. Wilshere came on to replace Mesut Ozil and Arsene Wenger continued to stay in the Champions League.

Surprisingly, however, the goal was scored not long after the substitution. It's just that it wasn't Arsenal who scored, it was Everton.

Deulopeu got a little past the centre circle and suddenly crossed with his feet. Lukaku kept up with a strong run and then headed straight at the goal with this high ball!

Everton's pass was so unexpected that Koscielny was a little slower and couldn't interfere with and scramble for the header first, giving the little monster a chance.

With a flick of the head, the ball raced towards the top right corner of the goal. Szczesny immediately made a sideways save, hesitated and the incident happened suddenly, Szczesny was not sure to hold the ball directly, so he chose to hit the ball out of the ball with both fists.

The ball came to the edge of the ribs outside the penalty area, and there was no Arsenal player to follow up at the second o'clock, and the Arsenal full-back assisted too deeply, and the problem of too much space behind him was once again exposed.

The youngster who kept up, Ross Barkley, met the ball directly without making adjustments, and immediately hit the goal.

Szczesny, who fell to the ground, couldn't make a second save, and Merdessat couldn't reach the ball with his long left leg outstretched.

Eventually, the ball hit the top edge of the goal and went straight into the net!

"Ross-Barkley !!"

The goal came so suddenly that even Everton's bench hadn't reflected it. Seeing the ball hit a beautiful wave inside the Arsenal goal, Everton manager Martinez shook his fist the sidelines.

Arsenal, who fell behind, launched a strong counterattack.

In the 52nd minute, Cazorla broke through the sideline and pretended to cross the bottom. But he suddenly changed direction and flicked the ball, but cut inside the penalty area and deceived the opposing wingback. Cazorla met the defenders of the opposing centre-back, glanced at the goalkeeper's position, and then kicked straight at the goal. The ball that flew into the far corner of the goal was saved by American goalkeeper Howard, and the central defender Jagielka, who followed up, cleared it directly.

In the 56th minute, Podolski's left side teamed up with Wilshere and Gibbs in a small area, and then sent the ball to the ribs of the penalty area. Podolski got straight to the ball and Howard was once again brilliant enough to keep Porti's shot out. Wilshere, who was keeping up, immediately made a follow-up shot, but he grazed the post and rolled out of the line.

In the 60th minute, Ramsey and Arteta kicked the wall together, and at the bottom of the arc at the edge of the penalty area, the talented Welsh midfielder Ramsey suddenly fired a cold arrow and took Everton off guard with a long-range shot. The ball was so fast that goalkeeper Howard didn't have time to make a save, but God likes to joke, and when everyone thought the ball was there, the ball was slightly over the crossbar and flew off the bottom line.

"Even though Arsenal's attack is excellent, both as a team and individually. But it just can't score, and now Arsenal is in a more awkward situation. If the scoreline continues until the end, then Everton will have achieved the first consecutive three points at the Emirates Stadium and Old Trafford for the first time in history! ”

'Arsenal's attack can't open up the situation, now Wenger should have to make some changes, and the scoreless Gunners now continue to be a player who can break the deadlock and make the final decision.'

Accompanied by the voice of the commentator, the director pointed the camera at Li Zihan on the bench very meaningfully. Fans could tell from his anxious face that he would love Arsenal to score.

When Arsenal's attack was booming, Everton suddenly gave the opponent a slap in the face, indicating that he was not a soft persimmon that could be pinched by the way!

Wilshere dribbled down the middle and was pressed by Ross Barkley to feed Cazorla on the wing. But the ball was a little lighter, and the experienced veteran former Manchester City midfielder Barry suddenly came out from behind and stretched out his foot to steal the pass.

Without delay, he immediately sent a long pass to the left of the middle. Deuloeu, who was following up, once again took advantage of the gap left behind Sagna's assist, took a big step and then swooped towards Arsenal's half. Romelu Lukaku flanked down the middle, in front of him was Merdessaert, and Koscielny tried to cut over to disrupt Deulopeu's dribble, but the pace couldn't keep up.

"Nice quick counter-attack!! This goal is not offside! Deulopeu was inserted from behind on the left! Everton's chances, Arsenal beware! ”

As soon as he dribbled into the big penalty area, he was met by Szczesny, who was attacking. Deuloeu calmly crossed to the middle and the outflanked Lukaku received the ball and wanted to adjust.

"Empty door!! Lukaku., this ball still needs to be adjusted and not played! ”

In such a short second, Medsart on his heels squeezed up directly, and then fell to the ground and took advantage of his height and leg length to stretch his foot in front of Lukaku, and then stabbed the ball with one kick, Lukaku's center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground, and the ball rolled out of the bottom line.

"Penalty !!" One of the few Everton fans on the away side shouted loudly!
