From the man behind the football king to the football king
Chapter 771: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow (Continued)
Fortunately, De Gea quickly redeemed himself for his mistake.
This unexpected goal caused a big blow to Manchester United's morale, while Everton's morale was greatly boosted and launched a fierce attack on Manchester United.
Two minutes later, former Manchester United defender Michael Keane made a long pass, and De Gea made up for it by saving Calvert Lewin's single shot from 10 yards.
Manchester United, who had gained a foothold, launched a counterattack.
In the 8th minute of the game, Fred cut into the penalty area and the cross was blocked, and Bruno's shot from 20 yards hit the crossbar.
Although the ball did not go in, it still scared tens of thousands of Everton fans at Goodison Park.
Manchester United continued to attack, but Rashford, Kante and Mbappe missed opportunities in succession, and Everton struggled to maintain its lead.
Manchester United equalized in the 31st minute. Kante passed the ball, and Bruno shot into the lower left corner from 30 yards on the left, changing the score to 1:1.
The second half of the game was deadlocked. Although both sides created some opportunities, neither of them was able to seize them.
Everton almost completed the lore during the injury time.
Di Lewin's shot from the right side of the penalty area hit Maguire's body and deflected into the lower right corner, but Sigurdsson, who fell to the ground, interfered in the offside position and VAR ruled the goal invalid.
For this penalty, Everton coach Ancelotti expressed dissatisfaction with the fourth referee and his words were somewhat disrespectful. He was shown a red card by the referee.
………………
In the end, Manchester United tied Liverpool in points with 2 more rounds, and temporarily surpassed Liverpool with a goal difference advantage, rising to the top of the standings.
However, Manchester United stayed at the top for less than 4 hours.
With Liverpool's 1-0 away win over Norwich in the 26th round of the Premier League, Liverpool regained the top spot in the standings with a 3-point advantage, and played one less round than Manchester United.
After returning to the top of the Premier League standings, a large number of Liverpool fans went to Everton's official website to leave messages, thanking their city rivals for blocking Liverpool's number one rival, and said that if Liverpool can finally win the Premier League this season, Everton will definitely be the number one contributor to Liverpool's victory.
This made Everton fans very depressed, and they could not feel the joy of tying the powerful Manchester United at home.
Of course, many Everton fans also retorted, saying that Liverpool people should not be too proud. It is only February now, and there are still almost 3 months before the end of the season. Be careful of being overjoyed and eventually being reversed by Manchester United.
Whether Liverpool will be overjoyed and reversed by Manchester United is still unknown, but something that makes Liverpool people feel overjoyed and overjoyed has indeed happened.
………………
On the evening of February 19th, local time in Europe, Liverpool challenged Atalanta away in the Champions League knockout match. Just 4 minutes into the game, Atalanta captain Gomez's long-range shot was very threatening and slightly higher than the crossbar.
4 minutes later, Pasalic's single-handed push once again tested Liverpool's goalkeeper.
At the beginning of the game, Liverpool's goal was in a state of panic.
In the 16th minute of the game, the score on the field was rewritten. Atalanta captain Gomez assisted Hartbauer to score in front of the goal, helping the home team to lead 1:0.
At the end of the first half, Pasalic assisted Ilicic to score a world wave, and Atalanta entered the halftime break with a 2:0 advantage at halftime.
After the change of sides, Atalanta's offensive continued. In the 57th minute, Freuler played Robben's cut inside and shot a world wave near the corner of the penalty area, and goalkeeper Alisson was out of reach.
Just 6 minutes later, Pasalic assisted Hartbauer to score twice again, Atalanta led 4 goals at home, and almost one foot had stepped into the door of the Champions League quarterfinals.
In the 66th minute, Salah helped Liverpool to get back one city. But the three-goal disadvantage is difficult to reverse even if Liverpool returns to their home court.
………………
This is a big upset that shocked Europe and even the world football!
You know, the two sides of the game, one is Liverpool, which has won 25 games in 26 league rounds and created the longest 17-game winning streak in team history, and the other is Atalanta, which is only ranked fourth in Serie A and advanced at the last minute in the group stage.
Before the game, public opinion almost unanimously supported Liverpool. After all, Liverpool this season is too strong. Even Manchester United was suppressed by them, not to mention Atalanta, which was defeated twice by Manchester United in the group stage.
But after the result came out, it was a shock.
Even Everton fans who warned Liverpool to be careful of excessive joy before the game were a little dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that his words would come true. Liverpool really suffered a devastating defeat.
This week, not only Liverpool suffered a defeat in the Champions League, but another Premier League team, Tottenham, also lost 0:1 at home to Juventus led by Ronaldo.
Liverpool and Tottenham, who were both invincible in the Champions League last season and performed very well in the group stage, were defeated in the first round of the knockout stage. This was really surprising.
But this was actually a sign.
The extremely inward-looking Premier League has caused a lot of internal friction. Although Liverpool has performed very strongly in the Premier League, winning 25 consecutive games in 26 rounds of the league, which is invincible, they still have not been able to establish an absolute advantage in the standings. Manchester United is still biting them tightly, which makes them look very tired after going to the European arena. Losing is not surprising, but the only surprise is that they lost so badly.
As for Tottenham, their performance this season has been very sluggish. Although the results rebounded around Christmas, they are currently only ranked seventh in the Premier League standings. Facing the Serie A giant Juventus, losing is not surprising at all.
………………
On the evening of February 21, the first game of the 27th round of the Premier League was played, and Manchester United played at home against the Hornets Watford.
Watford is currently in a very bad situation and they are deep in the relegation zone.
On the away field, Watford played very conservatively, hoping to take 1 point from the Millennium Stadium with defense.
Although Manchester United's offensive was fierce, it was not until the 42nd minute of the game that Manchester United took the lead. Bruno broke into the penalty area on the left and was tackled by Foster. He took the penalty kick and shot low into the lower right corner.
This is Bruno's 33rd goal in the Premier League this season and his 10th penalty kick in the Premier League this season.
Manchester United expanded the score in the 58th minute. Bruno passed the ball directly, and Rashford faced three people blocking the left side of the penalty area and shot into the empty goal from a small angle, 2:0.
Manchester United sealed the victory in the 75th minute. Greenwood, who came on as a substitute, counterattacked with Bruno and played a wall pass and shot into the upper left corner from 14 yards, 3:0.
