Chapter 79: Three-Goal Lead

What is certain is that Cabaye's goal will definitely be on the shortlist for Goal of the Month if it scores.

"They must not be allowed to score." José was strong-willed.

"Time and space pause."

Whether he could catch up or not, José didn't hesitate to use the stunt.

The figure regressed, and its speed can be imagined.

Villa fans have covered their faces as if they have seen the ball fall into the goal.

When Jose was about to retreat in front of the goal, he kicked his feet hard, and the whole person jumped into the air again.

The deciduous ball does not fall vertically, but the angle is larger than normal, so it gives people a feeling of falling leaves.

Jose has mastered the technique of the defoliation ball, so he can calculate the path of the ball, and all he has to do is intercept it halfway along the path of the ball, rather than waiting for the ball to come at the finish line like a normal goalkeeper.

As it turned out, he was right.

Before the ball could get close to the goal, it was blocked by Jose.

"Whoa." In the stands of the Villa fans, there were enthusiastic cheers and Jose's name was once again sung by the fans.

If you don't look at the scoreline, one would think that Villa are the one who is ahead.

The game continues.

In the 42nd minute, N'Zogbia got the first yellow card of the game, and the score was behind, which made him a little impatient.

At half-time, Villa were 1-0 down.

At half-time, Lambert sharply criticized several defenders, and although he did not name them, everyone knew who Lambert was scolding.

Jose knew that he had a lot of responsibility, so he didn't open his mouth to defend himself.

The second half continued.

After the opening, Lambert started to make substitutions as soon as possible.

Weimann and Abonlahor both came off the bench at the same time, with Darren Bent and Bennett coming off the bench.

It is understandable to replace Dalenbent, who was completely out of form today and was basically invisible in the first half.

But replacing defender Bennett is a bit incomprehensible, his performance is still okay, and the responsibility for conceding the goal has nothing to do with him.

Lambert: Is this going to be a gamble?

Commentators and commentators on major live broadcast platforms have said that Lambert made a substitution too early, just one goal behind, and Alan Pardu is not Mourinho.

I have to say that the two major attackers played, Villa's attack was indeed much more fierce, and they also had more opportunities to break into the opponent's penalty area.

In the 49th minute, Abang Lajo took the ball outside the left side of the Newcastle penalty area and tried to break through, and Newcastle player Debishi defended him one-on-one.

In a feint, Abang Laho shook Debichy, who reached out and dragged Abang Laho down in desperation.

Abang Laho collapsed in the penalty area on the spot.

Penalty kick.

Villa had a great chance to equalise.

As the team's first penalty taker, Benteke naturally took this penalty opportunity.

"You have to go in." Villa fans are praying.

"Don't go in." On the other hand, Newcastle fans are also praying.

Looking at the fans on both sides, God said he was busy.

Standing 12 yards in front, Benteke took a deep breath and then jogged two steps, paused slightly, suddenly picked up his pace before slotting straight into his left foot.

Newcastle goalkeeper Krul didn't catch Benteke's shot at all, he made the wrong save.

The ball didn't go in the wrong direction, despite Krul's misdirection.

Those who are familiar with Benteke know that he most often uses his right foot, but this time the penalty kick, in order to confuse the opponent, chose to shoot with his left foot.

As a result, it flew away.

Villa missed a great chance to equalise.

In the ensuing period, despite the chances of both sides, neither side was able to change the scoreline.

Newcastle were away from home and took away three points with a single goal.

It was Newcastle's first win on the road this season.

It was also Jose's first defeat in the Premier League.

Post-match wrap-up.

In terms of possession, Villa had a slight advantage at 51.7 per cent.

Both sides had 12 shots on goal and a 5-3 shot inside the goal, with Villa having two more shots than Newcastle.

Villa, who have the advantage of all the numbers, lost the game, and this is football.

After the game, Clark undoubtedly got the lowest score of the game.

No way, the key goal is too bad.

At the end of the 24th round, Villa slipped to seventh in the ranking because of the loss, and the two-point advantage was in front of Liverpool.

At the same time, the winter transfer season will also come to an end.

Blockbuster deals are almost non-existent.

Among them, the more interesting ones are:

Sturridge moved to Liverpool and Chelsea switched to buying Demba Ba from Newcastle instead.

Manchester United, who have been following Zaha for a long time, finally made a move, and Ferguson spent 15 million to bring him from Crystal Palace to Old Trafford.

As for the Villa side, there can be no change in personnel.

...

Three days later, on Saturday 2 February, Villa will face the final game of the Devil's schedule at Goodison Park in Liverpool to take on fifth-placed Everton.

After this game against Everton, they will have a rare week to recover.

In the end, José did not choose to go home for the New Year, but asked his parents to come over and celebrate together.

José's mother was originally unwilling, she felt that she was unfamiliar with life abroad, and coupled with the language barrier, she couldn't find her way back if she got lost.

It's Jose's father, who has always wanted to watch the game in person, and he is naturally very excited about his son's invitation.

In this way, the two parents, one wants to come and the other doesn't, and it is difficult to choose for a while.

Just when my parents were struggling with this, the 25th round of the Premier League began.

Before the start of this round, Everton had 10 wins, 11 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 41 points, only 1 point away from the fourth-place Tottenham.

In terms of the starting lineup, there is not much change from the first leg, and the strongest man is already in the lineup.

After the opening, Everton took the initiative and they didn't take Villa seriously.

However, just two minutes later, N'Zogbia crossed from inside the box and the ball reached the feet of Bentekeke, who fired a low shot into the far corner from 10 yards on the right side of the box, who was unaffected by the penalty he missed in the previous game.

The ball went in.

Villa have a one-goal lead away.

Everton, who were behind, frantically besieged, and Villa gave up needless possession and began to fight back with peace of mind.

In the 21st minute, Everton had a great chance of equalising.

No. 11 Milaras passed, and No. 28 striker Anicheby took the ball with his back in the penalty area, and forced to turn and shoot under the pressure of the Villa defenders.

Roll the earth, if it is handled by the average goalkeeper, Anicheby will score this time.

Jose learned the lessons of the previous game and reacted immediately after the opponent had a shot.

A "hungry tiger pounced" and steadily saved the opponent's shot.

Jose defused a must-score goal.

The game continues.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and Everton, who failed to equalize, came back with another blow in the 24th minute.

Villa's counter-attacking chance.

Westwood crosses from the right and the ball falls into the box.

From 10 yards out, Abang Lajo headed home after pressing his opponent.

The goal went in, 2-0, and Villa led by two goals away.

In the second half, it was easy to play again.

The Villa team, who have already killed the madness, will go to the next city.

In the 61st minute, Lowton and Weimann kicked the wall in front of the wall and crossed, and Benteke scored with a header.

Villa have a three-goal lead away.

Are Everton going to be beaten at home?
