194 Welbeck's counterattack

Attention was back to the game, and Ashley Young's goal brought the two sides back to the same line.

In the 40th minute, Manchester United almost scored again.

Sanchez suddenly got up and fired a cold shot from about 20 yards in the goal, and the ball hit Mustafi with a change of line, but the angle of the change was not large, and it was still under control, and was saved by Cech.

'After the equaliser, United's attack improved a bit, but we were about to break at half-time and I don't know what will happen to them in the second half.

With the referee blowing the whistle for the end of the half, the first half was not an easy one for United fans.

At half-time, neither coach made any personnel changes, retaining the original lineup and continuing to compete for the second half.

Just two minutes into the game, Arsenal were awarded a free-kick in United's half.

Sun Xiang's retreat was closely guarded by McTominer, Sun Xiang took the ball and turned in one go, without superfluous movements, almost letting McTominer behind him pounce.

And the price of "near" was that McTominer of 193 could not keep up with Sun Xiang's frequency and brought the latter down.

"Thirty yards or so, Arsenal have a lot of passers."

'There's a challenge ahead of De Gea, he has to be highly focused.

The two commentators spoke together as Cazorla stood in front of the ball.

He stacked the ball, then settled his footing, and then walked four or five steps back.

'It looks like he's going to shoot straight at goal, so it's not a difficult distance for him.'

Cazorla has scored from a direct free-kick.

In the 2014 FA Cup final, the "third brother" helped the team win the cup 3-2 with a direct free kick goal.

At that time, Cazorla was arguably one of the most balanced midfielders in football.

Manchester United fans held their breath in the stands, and everyone was nervous except for a few fans in the stands.

'Cazorla's shot is just as good as his pass, so De Gea needs to prepare for both. Martin Taylor then added that he saw a couple of big men running to the back of the box and they were likely to play tactically.

In the end, though, Cazorla opted to shoot and their curling free-kick grazed the post and flew off the line, during which De Gea didn't even react.

The ball was so fast, and now that I think about it, he's in a cold sweat.

If he hadn't heard the ball hit the billboard, he wouldn't have even thought it would have been scored. It came in through a crack in the human wall.

"Knocking on the door!! Oh~~ What a pity! Xhaka squeezed space into the wall for Cazorla, and Cazorla did the same, but sadly, it turned out to be a little bit worse. ”

'Manchester United fans can breathe a sigh of relief, honestly I thought it was a goal.'

'It was too close to the goal.

At the same time, Cazorla covered her face with her hands and rubbed her face vigorously, feeling disappointed that she had a chance to take action.

'Marcus Rashford has broken through! His technique is fantastic! ”

David De Gea took the goal, Lukaku grabbed a bit up front and did it back, and Rashford got the ball in front of Sun Xiang and broke straight into Sun Xiang's defence.

"Sun's body still needs to improve, and he has obviously improved recently, but the confrontation just now is still at a disadvantage."

Sun Xiang judged Lukaku's next move very accurately, and took the lead in standing before Rashford, but in the end he could not squeeze past Rashford who rushed from the side.

After being broken through, Sun Xiang was going to continue to chase back, because it was his own mistake. However, Sun Xiang made it clear that he would continue to stay in the front court.

On United's side, Marcus Rashford passed the ball to Alexis Sanchez after passing the centre circle and ran to the right of his own.

Sanchez turned to face Bellerin, did a couple of pedals on the spot and struck the ball across the middle.

Nemanja Matic, who had a brilliant first half, fired a cold shot at the ball, but Cech was more focused and protected the ball under him.

As soon as the second half began, both sides had a threatening shot on goal, and the game seemed to go straight to the white-hot stage.

'Two attacks in three minutes, it was the result of a high-level confrontation and Nemanja Matic did a good job of shooting.

'Nemanja Matic has obviously had more shots since coming to Manchester United than he did under Chelsea, so maybe the Serbs are doing more in private.

Just four minutes later, Arsenal attacked again, this time from Nemanja Matic's faulty pass.

Manchester United gradually regained the initiative in the second half, and they began to play effective passes in the half-time in an attempt to tear apart Arsenal's defence.

However, in the coordination of passing and receiving the ball again, Matic could not make contact with Sanchez, and the ball was cut off by Koscielny who came up behind him.

The French centre-back didn't stop after breaking the ball, and a through ball found Ozil on the right side of midfield, and Ozil immediately launched a counter-attack. At this time, Manchester United's defenders were also desperately trying to get back to the defense.

'It shouldn't have been a passing error, maybe it was a loose pass they hadn't made so easily in a long time. Martin Taylor gave a more intimate reason, "But now it's Arsenal's chance, they have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bellerin, they're fast. ”

As he spoke, Bellerin had already plugged in from Ozil's side. However, Mesut Ozil did not choose the wing.

He passed the ball to Cazorla in the middle, because playing wide on the counter-attack would increase the time of the counter-attack, and it was better to attack directly in the middle.

Nemanja Matic came up to pull Cazorla, who had the ball, and the Spaniard's low center of gravity was vividly reflected at this moment.

After a deft escape, a clear mind allowed him to pass the ball to the left.

There was a noticeable defensive void on the left, and this time Ashley Young did slip through.

What he missed was one of the most important points of attack in the Arsenal team, Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang is also strange, he has been running along the left side since the beginning of the counterattack, but no one has come to defend him, and he doesn't even look at it.

So when the opportunity presented itself, he wasn't surprised at all.

"The defense is leaking! This time they're in danger! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Xiang, who had the ball, got up and shot.

Ashley Yang found that he had lost his position behind him, and immediately turned around and saw Sun Xiang on his feet.

He did not hesitate, almost subconsciously moved, and an "old" veteran once again made the world doubt his age. The reaction was too fast.

It was also this desperate block, when Sun Xiang shot the ball with a half-high rebound, and at the same time slowed down the speed of the ball.

De Gea made a save, but fortunately the ball slowed down and he held it firmly on the way down.

If Ashley Young hadn't touched it, De Gea's lower body speed would most likely not be able to keep up with the speed of the football.

Once again, United escaped.

After Sun Xiang shot, he raised his hand with Mesut Ozil and Cazorla to signal that the responsibility for the missed opportunity was indeed on him.

'Arsenal's counter-attacks are more layered than Manchester United, they are more threatening.

"The 'Arsenal Three', no, it should be the 'Three Musketeers', and the combination between them always surprises."

'Anthony Martial passes! Sanchez...... Knock on the door!! Oh~ It's a bit outrageous. ”

In the 60th minute, United played a good attack, Anthony Martial shook off a defender's cross and Sanchez scrambled to shoot from the middle, but it was close to Monreal who smashed the ball high.

The United fans stamped their feet angrily in the stands and it was a sure chance to get it, just 10 yards from goal. At least more than a penalty.

Not only the fans, but Mourinho was also whispering something, as if he was also regretting the goal he didn't score.

Anthony Martial was also disappointed, he was almost missing for the whole game, but he had a good chance, he cherished him, and passed a good goal, but it couldn't form a goal.

"My bad! I'm sorry! Sanchez raised his right hand in apology.

With half an hour to go, a draw would see a replay at a later date, which is a big challenge for the Reds as they aim to finish in the top four. So they have to win the game at home.

But as time went by, the mentality of the players slowly became impatient, which had something to do with the manager's attitude on the sidelines.

Jose Mourinho said he wanted to use Lukaku's fulcrum to play long balls, but the player still wanted to be more stable, and the mistakes were made in this causal relationship.

Smalling didn't have a great game and had a couple of problems with his man-to-man defence. However, Mourinho still compares the homegrown defender.

Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof played in at the back, with Jose Mourinho calling for his players to pass forward from the sidelines.

Just as Smalling hesitated, Sun Xiang suddenly rushed out from behind him and was caught off guard.

But in the final moments, Chris Smalling played the ball back to De Gea safely, which was the safest way to go.

However, the safest thing is that if the injected power is not enough, there will still be problems.

Smalling's pass was a little bit small, but it was that little bit of power that made it difficult for De Gea.

Welbeck, who was the most active in the game, had been running between Smalling and Lindelof for a long time before he finally had his chance. Run to the ball with all your might.

As we all know, a sudden start and a sudden start on a run are two very different outcomes. Obviously, Welbeck is faster.

Poking the ball to the right, he bypassed the hesitant De Gea from the left and deftly passed the goalkeeper with a single ball.

'This is Arsenal's chance! Welbeck hits the !! The ball went in!! ”

'Welbeck didn't celebrate against his old club and he didn't celebrate, he's a player with feelings.

'Manchester United paid the price for their defence, and this mistake was even more fatal, and they fell behind.

In the 70th minute, Arsenal went over the score, leaving Mourinho with little time left.

In the end, Mourinho replaced attacking players such as Ibrahimovic and Pogba, but he still couldn't equalize the score. With three long whistles from the referee, Arsenal completed the promotion at Old Trafford.
