United have been unable to find the back of the net and Bournemouth have been very solid defensively.

In the other game at the same time, Manchester City already led Watford 4-0.

If this game is drawn, then it is equivalent to winning the Manchester derby a few days ago, and the points are snatched back.

Mourinho absolutely cannot accept it.

Gotta win!

By the 70th minute, Mourinho had already used up all three substitutions.

Lukaku, who was supposed to be rested, also came off the bench.

Marouane Fellaini and Chris Smalling also came off the bench.

Although the striker, midfielder and defender were replaced, all three were pushed into the penalty area.

Three high points, responsible for scrambling for headers!

The formation has also changed to 3-3-4!

Mourinho fights!

In the following period, United began to go into cross mode.

Aren't you guys defending intensively?

Then we'll bomb from high altitudes!

Although there are many substitute players, as long as Xia Xing is there, his teammates are extremely at ease.

In the middle, it was just a three-to-two pass, and he began to drop the ball into the penalty area.

With summer as the main character, his teammates also assisted.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, retreated across the board, even withdrawing their only high striker to defend the ball.

It seems that they don't want to win this game at all.

As the clock ticked by, United still failed to score.

The game has reached 82 minutes, and even if you add injury time, it is only about ten minutes.

United's long-pass tactics have also been restricted.

Xia Xing's passing is world-class, and all opponents are well aware.

So every time Xia Xing receives the ball, the defenders make all kinds of markings to prevent his passing.

He was even allowed to carry the ball forward, but he was never allowed to pass it.

Xia Xing had no choice but to hand over the ball to his teammates as much as possible.

But the passes of several teammates were indeed more than a notch worse than Xia Xing.

In fact, this can't be blamed on teammates, after all, any team will feel a headache when they encounter the tactics of putting a bus.

The ball was passed from the back to Xia Xing's feet again, and Luke Shaw on the left stepped forward and also participated in the attack.

Xia Xing received the ball on the left side and looked at the penalty area.

There is still no good connection point.

If you forcibly pass it over, it will be the same as before, and it will be purely blindfolded.

Now there is not much time left, and there is not so much time to consume.

Xia Xing decisively accelerates with the ball!

Diagonal sprint!

Looks like you're going it alone!

Bournemouth aren't in a hurry, though.

Anyway, there are people in the forbidden area, and it doesn't matter if he goes over.

Instead, because of his forward insertion, Manchester United will lose space to pass.

Luke Shaw on the left is still accelerating, he has inserted into the box!

It looks like it's going to cooperate with Xia Xing!

Bournemouth's right-back followed closely and never let Luke Shaw appear in Xia Xing's passing lane!

But with such a move, Xia Xing found a good opportunity!

Between the two defenders, there was a gap!

Xia Xing was 27 meters away from the goal, and without hesitation, he shot with his feet!

The ball seemed to have been precisely measured, through the gap between the two defenders, and straight to the near post!

The goalkeeper simply didn't have time to react!

I can only watch the ball go into the net!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

In the 86th minute of the game, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!

It's not easy!

Looking at the Manchester United players on the field hugging, Mourinho on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief.

This broken iron bucket array is really annoying.

It's good to score, otherwise the lead would have been narrowed.

Successfully scored, Manchester United was finally grounded.

Three minutes later, United had another good chance.

Xia Xing crossed at an angle of 45 degrees on the left side, and Fellaini, who came on as a substitute, jumped high and hit the goal with a header!

The ball smashes into the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

At this point, the suspense of this game is completely gone.

In stoppage time, United scuffled in the Bournemouth penalty area and Romelu Lukaku scored with a knee at the back post to find the right shot.

In the end, Manchester United ended the game with a score of 3-0.

If you were a fan who only watched the score after the game, you would have thought that Manchester United would have won this game easily.

But the difficulty is only known to fans who have watched the game.

Manchester United are on a winning streak and every game is full of hardship.

Win Bournemouth and return to the Premier League three days later.

This time they were at the Hawthorn Stadium against West Bromwich Albion.

West Brom were in good form last season, playing with spirit, winning a number of key games to finish 10th in the league.

However, this season their form has dropped significantly, and from the third round of the league, they are the bottom of the Premier League.

Until now.

Their relegation journey has been extremely difficult this season.

Today at home, facing the most disparity in the league, their tactical arrangements are decisive and resolute.

Hold on!

Don't even fight back!

They are more resolute than Bournemouth before them!

Although the formation reported was 5-4-1, it was actually 10-0-0.

Any team will have a headache in the face of such a stubborn defense.

That's the case with Manchester United today.

"How to have a virtue ...... with Bournemouth"

Jose Mourinho scratched his head on the sidelines.

But there was no way, they had to rush hard and tear apart their defenses.

In the first half, they pressed all over the board and stormed the West Brom defence.

But 45 minutes passed, and there was still no result.

In the second half, it was easy to fight again, and it was still difficult to find a goal.

"Manchester United are really bad attacking at the moment, it's so difficult to score a goal, hehe."

In the live broadcast room, Carragher sneered and mocked.

Alan Shearer shook his head: "It's not because Manchester United have poor attacking power, but because the opponent defends well. ”

"A relegation team, if the defense is excellent, can they still mix to the point of relegation?" Carragher asked rhetorically.

Alan Shearer showed the stats on one side of the screen: "West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster was in great form today, he saved three great chances for Manchester United, and the game was absolutely world-class; There is also central defender Evans, who is also the player who has defended the most effectively in this game, and the defensive line is impregnable. ”

Alan Shearer was right, Ben Foster and Evans did perform well in this game.

Perhaps, it is because they want to prove themselves against their old club, Manchester United......

It wasn't until the 85th minute that United finally broke the deadlock.

After a succession of passes in the midfield, the ball was handed to Xia Xing's feet again.

As in the previous game, the defensive players' marking of Xia Xing was also very extreme, with a large number of people.

And press it even further.

So Xia Xing didn't even have many opportunities to pass the ball, and he didn't even have many opportunities to step forward.

Pogba, on the other hand, was in average form today and didn't make too impressive passes.

In this case, Xia Xing must stand up!

After receiving Pogba's horizontal knock dispatch, Xia Xing stopped the ball lightly.

Pogba stepped forward, it was a one-two!

Xia Xing was ready to pass the ball, and the defenders around him were a little slack!

It's a great opportunity!

Xia Xing suddenly accelerated with the ball and shook off the two pinch players next to him!

Although there were other players in front of him who immediately pounced, it was too late!

Xia Xing suddenly got up!

35 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing hit!

Long Shot Blast!
