Chapter 210: Goal Battle
After seeing the goal, Sky Sports commentator Carragher shouted excitedly,
"Arsenal's attack is coming in waves, and Leicester's defence is in danger!
"Good pass! This ball goes straight to the equation! ”
"Nice stop! Defenders can't interfere with the equation at all! ”
"Do you want to bang on the door?!!"
"Nice turn and bang! goooooaaall——”
"Schmeichel Jr., the patron saint of Leicester City, he couldn't hold on to the score this time!!
"The score is 0-1! Arsenal were the first to upset the balance on the pitch. ”
The King Power Stadium instantly became silent, and many fans couldn't believe it.
Leicester City, including the home game, obviously can't accept this fact,
They quickly built up their attacking energy, and Brendan Rodgers gave the team a style of quick passing and catching.
With the advantage of playing at home, Kante played the ball and organized a pass, and with the cooperation of Danny Drinkwater, quickly advanced the line to Arsenal's half.
In the 34th minute, Maddison drove forward like a cheetah on the wing, and then a long ball crossed the box, and Vardy cut in at the back of the box to face the incoming ball and volleyed it over.
The ball roared out and went straight to the crossbar.
A huge exclamation sounded in the stadium in an instant,
The ball was sadly bounced out of bounds and Leicester City missed a precious chance to open the scoring.
Faced with this dangerous scene, Arteta was a little anxious, and immediately shouted to the field, shouting for the full-backs to return to the defense as soon as possible!
Because Vardy seized the opportunity to miss the back post to get space for a volley.
If Equation is still playing in midfield at Arsenal, maybe he will be in place in that area.
As a result, manager Mikel Arteta couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the old days
After seeing Leicester City's ferocity, Arsenal quickly knew that the current score was not enough for them to win this game smoothly.
Soon, under the Equation Dropback Receiving Organisation, Arsenal began to gain a foothold in midfield.
They didn't rush to attack, but pulled Leicester's defence with delicate passes, lured Leicester's formation to grab it little by little, and then exposed the passing gaps behind their defence.
In the 41st minute, Arsenal's Thomas successfully sent a pass to the opponent's left side, and the equation that formed a tacit understanding with it quickly pulled the side to receive the football.
As soon as he turned around, he immediately sent a cross into the middle!
Arsenal's midfielders were quick to get forward and fight for possession in the box.
In the midst of the chaos, suddenly the arm of a Leicester player accidentally touched a football.
At this moment, the whole stadium seemed to be frozen,
A lot of eyes are on the referee.
However, the referee did not give any indication and signaled for the game to continue.
This is undoubtedly a disaster for Leicester City!
The Arsenal players were stunned for a moment, and while returning to the defense, they asked the referee about it.
Isn't this a penalty in the box?
However, the home fans were still not satisfied with the decision to make a profit, and immediately launched a shrill boo after seeing the Arsenal players complain to the referee.
The equation is also running back, trying to persuade his teammates not to dwell on this matter and continue to concentrate on the game is the right thing to do.
However, the penalty still affected the rhythm of the game!
It was in first-half stoppage time that Jamie Vardy once again showed his header skills.
After seeing the cross sent by Drinkwater, he was like a vigorous lion, with a keen sense of smell and excellent bounce, he pushed the flying football into the goal!
Despite goalkeeper Leno's best save,
But they couldn't stop the close-range header.
The score is 1-1!
The King Power Stadium was engulfed in a frenzy of celebration.
Leicester stubbornly equalised.
However, first-half stoppage time was not over.
Just a minute later, Leicester City once again took advantage of set-pieces to launch a fierce attack.
Midfielder N'Golo Kante also stepped forward into the box, and after seeing Arsenal defender Saliba rise to the top, the football leaked, and he decisively kicked the ball at the goal!
This time, N'Golo Kante's shot was on target for the back of the net! It also made goalkeeper Leno not save the football.
The score is 2-1! Leicester City overtook the score in just a few minutes!
The sudden score overtake made the whole Arsenal team stunned.
Carragher suddenly commented excitedly in the studio: "Arsenal is in danger! They suddenly conceded two goals at the end of the first half! ”
'It doesn't look like Arsenal have recovered from that handball decision and if they don't get back in the second half, they could have lost away from home!!'
Back in the dressing room, manager Mikel Arteta was full of annoyance, believing that the score was definitely not in line with the true strength of the team, and the reason why Leicester City overtook the score was because he did not do his job.
"In the second half, Leicester City will definitely choose to defend and counterattack, after our midfield is pressed, the central defenders must pay attention to the landing point of the football, and Leicester City can no longer get the opportunity to counterattack!"
"Guys, I don't know how many people want us to lose in this game, will you make those people happy?!!"
Arteta finally issued a stern question to his players, which instantly galvanized the whole team.
After the start of the second half,
Unable to accept the score behind, Arsenal immediately increased the rhythm of passing, trying to tear apart Leicester City's defense through continuous passing and running.
However, Leicester's defence was rock-solid as well, with all but striker Jamie Vardy returning to half-time defence.
In the 54th minute, Arsenal finally had a great chance to attack.
With his erratic movement, Equation deceived the defender and received a through ball from Ronaldo on the left side of the penalty area.
The equation immediately swept the ball into Leicester's six-yard box. With his excellent sense of smell, Thomas sprinted from the midfield, stretched out a kick in the gap in the defense, and successfully scored the goal!
The score is 2-2!
Arsenal stubbornly equalised!
“goooooaaaallll——”
"Perfect positioning! It was a wonderful pass-and-cut combination! ”
"Ronaldo's open through ball is full of imagination, and the running position of the equation is instantly free from the close pull of the defender!"
"Leicester's defenders in the box suddenly became like a stake!"
"The score became 2-2! This game is still full of suspense! ”
After the goal, the whole Arsenal team rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, and although the home fans in the stands sent a "cordial" greeting, it did not affect their mood.
After goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. stood up, he slapped the football in the goal with some annoyance, he really didn't expect that with his excellent goal-line skills, there were already two goals conceded (end of this chapter)
