Chapter 0203, the resistance from the four competitors

From 3-0 to 3-3, Leicester's second half was a nightmare.

The two goals in a row that had just opened the game caught Leicester City off guard.

And Zaha's three-person breakthrough just now is even more exquisite.

Looking at Zaha, who scored the goal, was triumphant, Drinkwater scolded: "If Xia is there, he will be more than you kid!" ”

However, Xia Xing was not present.

And how?

With less than five minutes to go, Leicester retreated.

Despite the equaliser, Pearson did not think the team could overtake the score.

Jamie Vardy is alone and Riyad Mahrez is on his own.

In this offensive trident, Xia Xing is unique and the most important existence.

The whole team held on, withstanding three dangerous shots from Crystal Palace in quick succession.

Finally waited for the referee's final whistle.

3-3, Leicester City were drawn by their opponents.

Although they didn't win, the away fans in the stands were still cheering and excited.

Although they did not lose, the home fans in the stands were still in a low mood and the atmosphere was low.

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer lamented that Leicester City lost the victory.

'They missed a good chance to secure a top-four finish and after this game, Arsenal relied on a win to close the gap to Leicester City by two points. Arsenal will be more combative when they go head-to-head in the next game, with Leicester City on the verge of a top-four rival. ”

Carragher next to him pouted.

"You're wrong, the fight for the top four has begun.

'Especially in this game, you look at the Crystal Palace goalscorer.

'Sanogo, the Arsenal player, came to Crystal Palace on loan this winter.

'Campbell, a Manchester United Academy player, joined Crystal Palace last summer.

'Zaha, a former Manchester United player, has been on loan at Crystal Palace this season and has just been bought out this winter.

'All three players are from Leicester City's top-four rivals this season.

"Blocking Leicester City's progress can be regarded as helping the old club fight for the fourth."

Carragher's words were a bit emotional, but they did.

Arsenal and Manchester United both continued to progress with the three points from the win, as they moved closer to Leicester City.

Leicester City will struggle to retain their top-four spots.

Four days later, they had an important game.

In the 25th round of the Premier League, they visited the Emirates Stadium to challenge the Premier League giants Arsenal.

Against Arsenal, Leicester City have some psychological advantage.

Because in the first half of the match with Arsenal, Leicester City won 2-0 against the Gunners.

Mesut Ozil was in a terrible form at the time, and he gifted Leicester an own goal.

With this goal, Leicester City counter-attacked and suppressed Arsenal's attack.

In the end, it was Riyad Mahrez who scored a goal.

2-0, beating the Gunners.

But at this time and from time to time, today the Gunners are strong and have a full lineup.

Leicester City, on the other hand, are in a lot of trouble.

Morgan, who received a red card in the last game, is suspended today.

And Xia Xing, who had suffered some minor injuries, also sat on the bench.

Originally, Pearson didn't even want him to be in the squad, but Xia Xing strongly demanded to play this game.

In the end, a compromise was taken, substitutes and other opportunities.

Facing a strong Arsenal, Leicester City, who are short of major generals, will have a very difficult game.

From the first minute of the game, Leicester City were suppressed by Arsenal's attack.

Unlike the ferocious presses of Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, etc., Arsenal's pressurization is a fluid attacking coverage.

It looks like it can be prevented, but in just a moment, you will be pricked by an embroidery needle.

In the 5th minute of the game, Arsenal almost blasted away Schmeichel's goal with a wonderful fast attack.

A few minutes later, Arsenal's attack resumed.

A pass between six players in a row in midfield, the ball goes to the right front.

Sanchez catches the ball and starts instantly!

Pull sideways and shoot into the far corner!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

With the first goal, Arsenal played more freely next.

In the 31st minute of the game, it was another wonderful front-court cooperation.

But this time it's not up to the strikers to solve the problem.

Sanchez catches the ball and passes quickly!

Leicester City's defence is in turmoil!

Knock to Walcott!

The little tiger quickly stepped forward, making the Leicester City defense even more tense!

But he didn't choose to shoot either!

Returning near the bottom line!

Inverted triangle!

Rosicky at the top of the arc of the penalty area has already appeared there!

Don't stop the ball, get up and volley!

The ball was flat and fast, straight into the bottom right corner of the goal!

Schmeichel can't do anything!

2 to 0!

Arsenal scored another goal!

It's only been fifteen minutes since the game started!

The home fans at the Emirates Stadium cheered!

They seem to have seen the team finish in third place!

In the live broadcast room, Carragher applauded Arsenal.

"The Gunners are stable in this game! In front of them, Leicester City was completely beaten back to the prototype of the promoted horse, and now they have no variables! ”

Hearing these words, countless Leicester City fans in front of the TV have already started scolding.

However, they also had to admit that Carragher's words had merit.

Riyad Mahrez was excellent on the ball, but he struggled to perform at his normal level with Arsenal's zone defence.

In this game, Mahrez and Albrighton flew together on the wings, and there were few bright performances.

Without the tandem of central midfield, Leicester's attack is difficult to be effective.

And without a midfield defender, Leicester City's penalty area has also been repeatedly breached.

In the last minute of first-half stoppage time, Theo Walcott slid a low shot out of the net.

Leicester City almost missed the goal again.

With a 2-0 deficit, the Leicester City soldiers returned to the dressing room.

In the second half, Leicester made a substitution.

James came off the bench to replace veteran Cambiaso.

Albrighton ceded the left to James and returned to the middle to partner Drinkwater and comb the midfield.

The substitution had some effect, but it was not obvious.

James' pace and dribbling have caused some problems for Arsenal.

A long-range shot from the beginning of the second half after passing two people slid out of the net.

Let the Arsenal fans break out in a cold sweat.

However, Arsenal quickly adapted to Leicester's new tactics.

In the face of a skinny James, Arsenal's defense went straight to the hardness.

Several attacks in a row, James was knocked to pieces.

And the Arsenal players don't eat cards yet.

After all, there are no fouls that are too vicious, they are just reasonable or unreasonable collisions.

Warning at most.

As the clock ticked by, Leicester City were still two goals behind.

In the 70th minute of the game, James' cross was blocked and the referee's whistle blew.

The fourth official held up a sign.

On the 17th, off on the 23rd!

That familiar figure appeared!
