Star card system.

As soon as the game started, Arsenal launched a fierce attack.

The continuous passes in the frontcourt made Manchester United's solid defense very tight.

If it weren't for De Gea's wonderful save, I'm afraid they would have conceded the goal.

It's dangerous.

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, took a sip of water when the game started, and he only swallowed it hard now.

Arsenal were very strong in this game.

For Wenger, if they can win today, then they are likely to return to the top four.

If competitors stumble.

But if they lose, they may even drop out of the top six.

So they have to win this game.

For Manchester United, they also need to continue to win, take three points, and maintain their lead at the top of the table.

Also, this game has special meaning for Manchester United.

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer was counting Manchester United's Premier League wins this season.

"Manchester United has had a great start to the league this season.

"The two 4-0 sweeps against West Ham and Swansea kept Manchester United firmly at the top of the table until now.

“Consecutive wins over Leicester City, Stoke City, Everton, Southampton, and Crystal Palace have kept Manchester United in the lead.

"The 4-2 victory over Liverpool gave Manchester United a domineering victory in the strong dialogue, with great momentum.

“The subsequent 7-0 sweep of Huddersfield showed even more attack power.

“The next two consecutive wins came from London teams Tottenham and Chelsea, and Manchester United overcame all obstacles.

“Sweeping Newcastle again has completely ruined the goal-scoring drought of Manchester United’s forwards.

"With small wins over Brighton and Watford, Manchester United's winning streak in the league has reached 14 games!
“They have equaled Arsenal’s record of 2002 consecutive Premier League wins set in 14!

“And now, the creator of the previous record is right in front of us. As long as we win against the Gunners, Manchester United will create new history!
"Manchester United this season is likely to surprise fans!"

Alan Shearer was in high spirits, while Carragher curled his lips.

"Look at Arsenal's offensive just now. It's not that simple for Manchester United to win.
“I think it’s not easy to draw in this game, let alone win.
"You can't even score a goal..."

As Carragher was talking, something changed instantly on the court!
Carrick in the middle took a quick shot and intercepted Arsenal's short pass!
Ozil's pass was a little too casual, and the Gunners' counterattack was interrupted!
The defense is empty!

Carrick didn't hesitate and went straight forward!

Xia Xing quickly ran from the left to the center and received the ball!
In the middle, he sprints at high speed!
Ozil made a mistake in passing the ball and chased back!

But Xia Xing directly used his body to fight him off!

This weakling even wants to compete with Xia Xing!
Ramsey and Xhaka quickly followed up, but Xia Xing moved the ball forward and sprinted faster!
Directly shake off the two people's defense!

Mustafi made a move, but Xia Xing changed direction and was so dexterous!

Koscielny follows up and shovels!
Xia Xing taps the ball again!

The ball passed under him quickly in advance!
Xia Xing follows up and pokes Cech deftly before he attacks!
The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!

"The ball went in!

"1 to 0!

"Manchester United open the scoring!

"Just 10 minutes into the game, Manchester United scored the first goal!
"You know, Arsenal just kept attacking!
“But Manchester United seized a counterattack opportunity and they scored!

“It’s so exciting!
"Hey, come to think of it,

"It seems like someone just said that it's not easy for Manchester United to score a goal?"

Carragher said nothing and watched the video playback carefully.

But I really can't fault it.

There was no offside, foul or anything like that...

Listening to Alan Shearer's ridicule, Carragher simply said nothing.

How about love.

Manchester United scored the first goal, which made the Arsenal players a little depressed.

It hits people too much.

We couldn't attack hard, and they scored every time they counterattacked.Wenger on the sidelines loudly encouraged the players and clapped his hands.

Several senior players on the court also encouraged each other to help the young players get out of the mentality of losing the ball as soon as possible.

Think about it, the one who scored the goal was a Ballon d'Or winner and the number one star in the Premier League, so it's balanced.

My mind became much calmer.

However, the Gunners will never give up, nor will they give up their style of football.

Next, Arsenal still adheres to the pass-and-control style of play, and there are frequent wonderful passes and passes in the frontcourt.

And Manchester United was very generous in giving them the position in front of the penalty area.

Play whatever you want, it doesn't matter.

Pass the ball outside, just don't go into the penalty area.

This makes Arsenal's offense very awkward.

Faced with this intensive defense, Arsenal really didn't have much to do.

Their forward Lacazette has good personal abilities, but he is not the kind of top forward who can change the game based on his personal abilities.

Physical fitness is not at the top level either.

So under the marking of Smalling and Bailly, he did almost nothing.

Several players in the midfield also lack strong sluggers.

Without crosses and long-range shots, two weapons that break dense defenses, it would be too difficult for Arsenal to score goals.

Wenger frowned on the sidelines and turned to look at Mourinho.

This damn Portuguese!
You are clearly at the top of the league, why do you have the nerve to put up a fight with us?

hateful!

But it was this targeted defense that kept Arsenal at a loss.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Arsenal was in trouble.

During a set-piece defense in the frontcourt, the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Smalling!

The ball landed at Xia Xing's feet!

This time Arsenal players pressed like crazy!

Surround Xia Xing and prevent him from advancing!

But Xia Xing didn't plan to rush forward this time!
He paused for a moment, waiting for his teammates to move!

Take the kick and pass through!
Rooney moves forward quickly!
He dribbled the ball and passed Monreal who was on the attack!

On the penalty area line, kick and shoot!

The ball hits the net!

2 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
They expanded their lead!
Arsenal's continuous attacks failed, but Manchester United relied on a little counterattack to score!
Wonderful passing and running coordination!
Excited, Xia Xing rushed to Rooney and hugged the old captain tightly!
Rooney was also smiling, enjoying the congratulations from his teammates and the joy of scoring.

Arsenal players looked serious.

They were two goals down.

Is there still a chance for this game?
So far in the first half, Manchester United has not had many chances.

But more than half of the shots on target are enough to make Arsenal fans frightened from time to time.

And now that we are two goals behind, can we still catch up?

Even Arsenal fans are a little skeptical...

Soon, they no longer had any doubts.

In the 45th minute of the game, just as the fourth official raised the time card for 2 minutes of injury time, Manchester United's fast break resumed!

Arsenal was obviously tired, and their physical energy was severely exhausted under the fierce attack.

This time it's Manchester United's turn to attack in the frontcourt!

What surprised Arsenal fans was that this time Manchester United actually started passing and controlling in the midfield and frontcourt!

This is what Arsenal does best! (End of chapter)
