The time came to the 27th minute.

Martinelli dribbled the ball from the wing and dribbled past the opponent's defender.

His quick breakthrough instantly attracted everyone's attention.

After breaking through the defense on the wing, Martinez did not lower his head and continue to work alone.
His eyes swept over the situation in the penalty area.

Then he immediately sent a cross ball.

Nketiah flew into the penalty area.

Prepare to end the attack with a header.

However, due to the impact of defense,
Nketiah jumped too early.

His header failed to deliver full power.

The ball missed the target and landed outside the field.

On the 37th minute,

Arsenal midfielder Thomas made a mistake when passing the ball. In an attack outside the penalty area,

After Norwood grabbed the ball, he immediately made a long pass.
Found teammate Norwood in the frontcourt.

After Norwood passed the ball,
Took a step forward.

Then he immediately kicked a powerful long shot.

The football bangs.

Heading towards the blind corner of the goal.

but,

Arsenal defender Ben White also played tough defense.

Use your body to block the ball.

The situation on the field is still stalemate.

It all depends on who makes the mistake first.

The first half is almost over.

Suddenly, Nketiah received a through ball from Fang Cheng in the penalty area, and he immediately turned around and shot.

This shot choice looks decisive.

However, because he was too focused on the angle of hitting people,

Nketiah's shot did not result in a goal.

The football flew into the stands.

With the referee's whistle, the first half of the game ended.

After a fierce competition, the two teams ended up in a draw.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room quickly flashed across.

"It seems like Arsenal really have problems recently. They haven't even scored a goal against their opponents yet."

"It's very difficult to win the Premier League title with this kind of performance."

"Arsenal's previous two wins seemed to be a matter of luck. It looks like the tide is going to ebb today."

"Arsenal fans will never say discouraging words at this time. There is still so much time in the second half, we will definitely score a goal."

"The luck has run out. Maybe Arsenal will lose today."

In the second half, Arsenal were not as eager to attack as in the first half.

Everyone began to patiently control the rhythm of the game.

The Sheffield United coach immediately noticed something was wrong and reminded the players on the field to increase their efforts to grab the ball, even if it meant committing a foul to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm.

Norwood then pulled Smith down to the ground.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and gave Arsenal a set piece in the midfield.

At this time, Fang Cheng saw that the opponent seemed dissatisfied with the penalty, so he immediately sent a free kick.

None of the Sheffield United players expected that Arsenal would choose such a sinister style of play.

After this Fang Cheng passed the ball, their defense was instantly in chaos.

Finally, Martinelli received the pass from Cheng on the left side of the penalty area.

After taking a look at the position of the opponent's goalkeeper, Martinelli chose to shoot towards the far corner.

"Beautiful, the ball goes in!"

"Arsenal finally broke the deadlock on the field! The score is 1:0."

"This goal was scored by Fang Cheng, who caught the moment when Sheffield United players were not concentrating on defending. Then he quickly sent the free kick, forming an effective attack in an instant!"

On the field, Sheffield United players were very angry about the loss and immediately complained to the referee.

I think Arsenal’s quick-start positioning is against the rules of football.

So this goal should be invalid.

However, the referee ignored the complaints from the Sheffield United players and instead showed a yellow card to the Norwood player who performed the most aggressively.

He believed that the goal was caused by Sheffield United players not concentrating on the game, and it had nothing to do with Arsenal players.

The Sheffield United coach on the sidelines was in disbelief when he saw that they not only lost a goal but also received a yellow card warning.

Is this game still fair?

Is this still their home court? Are we targeting their team like this?

There was also a loud booing from the audience.

But no matter how Sheffield United reacted, the score on the field was still zero to one.

So when the ball was kicked out of the center circle again, Sheffield United immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

They think Arsenal is going too far and has no sportsmanship at all.

They decided to take revenge on such an immoral opponent by scoring a goal.

However, Arsenal did not think they had any problems. Quick set-pieces are actually a very common tactic.

Whether it can be reasonable or not depends mainly on how the referee makes the decision.

So Sheffield United's reaction was actually caused by the referee.

Arsenal players were still concentrating on the game. They relied on defense and quickly seized the gap behind Sheffield United.

The pass found Martinelli who was moving forward quickly.

Martinelli made a quick dribble and easily broke through the double-team of two opposing defenders, like a cheetah galloping on the grassland.

When approaching the penalty area, seeing the goalkeeper rushing out, Martinelli had to dribble the ball to the outside.

After passing the goalkeeper, Martinelli kicked the ball.

Unfortunately, because he took a few more steps to the outside, a defensive player came back and almost stretched out his foot on the goal line to block the ball.

The score is still 0:1,

Seeing that I had wasted a great opportunity.

Martinelli had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

Fang Cheng didn't take it too seriously and waved to his younger brother, telling him not to worry.
Just keep playing.

On the 72th minute,

Arsenal still chose to defend and counterattack.

Because they were at the opponent's home ground, they played safely.

This is a bit of a headache for Sheffield United.

They could only rely on the number of people to attack. Norwood received the ball and decisively chose a parallel pass.

This pass was extremely accurate.

Like an arrow piercing a dense forest,
Found Ursula.

Osu took a long shot.

But there is a problem with the angle selection.
The football flew into the stands.

On the 81th minute,

Arsenal seemed to be under pressure from their opponents, but once they had a chance, they formed a quick counterattack.

In the end, Smith Rowe's long shot was blocked by the opponent and went out of the baseline.

Fang Cheng took the corner kick.

Kick hard.

The football flew into Sheffield United's penalty area.

There was chaos in the penalty area, with players from both sides fighting fiercely for the landing point.

In the chaotic environment, Nketiah successfully grabbed the landing point.

A volley shot.

The Sheffield United goalkeeper failed to catch the ball.

Nketiah raised his arms and shouted, about to rush to the sidelines to celebrate this hard-earned goal.
But the next second, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

He indicated that the corner kick from Arsenal had already crossed the bottom line when it was in the air, so the goal was invalid. (End of this chapter)
