With the referee's whistle,
At the beginning of the game, Leicester City's players were like a group of cheetahs, launching a fierce attack.

In this regard, Arsenal expected such an opening situation and relied on their excellent foot skills to return to conduct football.

Fang Fang still assumed the center position in this game. Seeing that his teammates were having difficulty with the ball, he came back to pass and receive the ball many times.

In the 8th minute of the game, Arsenal made a mistake in throwing a throw-in, allowing Leicester City to find a passing opportunity on the right.

But fortunately Saliba stood his ground and blocked the football from the bottom line, and Leicester City got a corner kick opportunity.

The kicker Madison stood in the corner flag area, stared at the goal, and then kicked the ball into the penalty area.

The football flew through the air with a strong spin and fell rapidly towards the goal.

The penalty area instantly fell into a melee!
Players from both sides competed for the landing spot, trying to hit the ball into the goal.

In the chaos, Leicester City's Vardy suddenly found a chance to shoot.

He shook off the entanglement of the defensive player, grabbed the position, and suddenly volleyed the ball towards the goal.

However, at this critical moment, Arsenal goalkeeper Leno showed an astonishing speed when he fell to the ground.

He quickly used his body to block the football that was about to fly into the net!

The whole place was in an uproar.

The frightened Arsenal defender quickly pulled Leno up and almost kissed and hugged him.

This game is also a crucial battle for the fourth place. If we lose the ball first, we will be in trouble!
Leno's rescue made Leicester City's attack futile and saved Arsenal's hope of winning.

Arteta on the sidelines also felt frightened when he saw this scene.

Then, he suddenly noticed that Fang Fang had returned to the penalty area just now.

Arteta was a little anxious for a moment and shouted to the court to signal Fang Fang not to come back, because Fang Fang is the team's quick counterattack point. If Arsenal gets another chance to counterattack after he comes back, then Arsenal will be in the frontcourt. Who will fight back?
Fang Fang felt a little embarrassed when he heard the coach's words. It was still a habit he had left behind when he played midfielder at Arsenal.
I haven't gotten used to playing center since I came back this time.
Fortunately, this time it was harmless.

When the game reached the 10th minute,
Leicester City took a goal kick, and Schmeichel Jr. kicked a long ball to the frontcourt. Vardy unloaded the long ball and found Madison who was advancing.

Madison jumped in quickly like a cheetah, ready to catch the ball and rush to the penalty area.

At this critical moment, Arsenal goalkeeper Leno made an impulsive decision.

He rushed out of the penalty area and tried to clear the ball before Madison.

However, his action was too reckless and knocked Madison down, causing the latter to fall to the ground in pain.

Almost at the same time, a sharp whistle sounded immediately,

The referee ran over and decisively showed Leno a yellow card.

Arsenal's defensive teammates were stunned for a moment and quickly ran to the referee to plead for mercy.

Sky Sports commentator Carragher immediately sighed:
"We can see that Leno's impulsive behavior undoubtedly put huge pressure on Arsenal's defense. He tried to defuse Leicester City's offense. His previous performance was very good, but now he is letting He is in trouble. The yellow card is a direct punishment for his reckless behavior, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Arsenal.”

"Arteta also looked solemn on the sidelines, obviously dissatisfied with the referee's decision. The key is that although the equation's previous defensive behavior reflected his defensive awareness, in Arteta's view, this was not What he expects. What he needs is to create a threat in the frontcourt instead of returning to the penalty area to participate in defense. "So far in the game, Leicester City's offense is impressive, they are sharp and fast, and Madison's breakthrough ability is impressive. It’s even more amazing. Arsenal must adjust their status as soon as possible, otherwise they may lose the initiative to win the fourth place in this game!”

In fact, there is no need to remind, the entire Arsenal team knows the importance of this game.

Leno's yellow card did not affect their mentality.

When Leicester City's opening three goals were exhausted, Arsenal began to control the rhythm of the game with their delicate ball control skills.

In the 20th minute, they organized a pass in the midfield and got a rare offensive opportunity.

Equation returned to the midfield to play the ball, and then passed a very threatening through ball. The football instantly penetrated Leicester City's defense and accurately found Saka, who was quickly inserted!

Saka was like a black lightning, quickly passing through the defensive space, and when he received the football, he had already formed a single-handed opportunity.

He dribbled the ball into the penalty area, but after seeing the attacking goalkeeper, he seemed not to have expected this change, but he suddenly chose to kick off in a hurry.

Hit the football directly into the goalkeeper's arms!
The moment after the kick, Saka, who knew something was wrong, put his head in his hands with a look of annoyance on his face.

The teammates didn't come back to their senses at the first time.

Saka felt a little guilty and turned to look at the captain, wanting to express his apology.

However, Saka saw Fangfang cast an encouraging glance and didn't care about his single-handed goal at all.

Saka instantly felt a warmth and rekindled his fighting spirit.

In the 23rd minute, Leicester City launched a wave of attacks, and the midfielders passed through Arsenal's defense.

But the last pass was finally blocked by Gabriel.

Gabriel successfully intercepted the pass and then passed the ball to Tierney.

Tierney dribbled the ball along the left wing, and after a one-two break with Thomas, Tierney kicked a cross.
Equation received the football at the top of the penalty area.

Faced with this offensive opportunity, Fang Fang did not waste it. After turning around and adjusting slightly, he volleyed the football vigorously! With a bang, it flew towards the goal like a shell.

This shot was powerful and heavy, with a tricky angle! This left Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel too late to make an effective save.

In the end he took a step slower!
The football hits the net!

Arsenal took the lead in the away game and took a 1-0 lead!
After scoring the goal, Equation opened his arms excitedly and rushed to the sideline to celebrate.

And Saka, who was halfway through the robbery, also excitedly jumped on the back of the equation and cheered!
Other Arsenal teammates immediately chased after him, shouting.

The Leicester City players who stayed where they were all looked helpless and looked at each other, feeling speechless.

The kick just now was really unreasonable, and it felt impossible to prevent it again.

Head coach Rogers' face was full of worry. He didn't expect Fang Fang to be so good at the center position, and he adapted so quickly.

He had studied the game between Arsenal and Chelsea before, and thought that Equation's outstanding performance was only due to Chelsea's defense not restricting the opponent. However, the fact hit him in the face. (End of Chapter)
