On May 3, the 28th round of the Premier League was ignited at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton. Manchester United's away challenge to Southampton attracted the attention of countless fans. The sun fell on the green field, as if it had covered this fierce confrontation with a layer of golden glory.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began. The players of both sides quickly got into the state and started a fierce fight on the court. Manchester United wore traditional red jerseys, and the players' eyes were full of determination and confidence. Southampton wore white home jerseys, and they were also eager to cause trouble for the powerful Manchester United in this game.
At the beginning of the game, Southampton, who played at home, showed an active offensive posture. Their midfielder Mohamed Elyounoussi took the ball in the midfield and quickly passed the ball to forward Danny Ings. Danny Ings tried to break through Manchester United's defense with his flexible running position. However, Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot followed him closely and did not give Danny Ings any chance.
Danny Ings had no choice but to pass the ball to Shane Patrick Long at the other end of the front line, but Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot predicted his passing intention in advance and intercepted the ball.
Diogo Dalot quickly launched a counterattack after successfully intercepting the ball. Diogo Dalot made a long pass, and the ball came to Marcus Rashford who was rushing on the wing. With his speed advantage, he quickly broke through Southampton's full-back Cedric Suarez.
Marcus Rashford's breakthrough attracted the attention of Southampton's defensive players, and Ryan Bertrand, Robert Huth and others all moved closer to Marcus Rashford. However, Marcus Rashford did not choose to force a breakthrough, but cleverly passed the ball to Erling Haaland in the middle.
After Erling Haaland received the ball, he skillfully controlled it under his feet; and the Southampton defender Yannick Vestergaard who was defending him also pressed over immediately, trying to use his body to squeeze Erling Haaland away and snatch control of the football. But Erling Haaland would not let him succeed easily. He squatted slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and his feet were like thick tree roots rooted in the ground, firmly supporting his huge and strong body.
When Yannick Vestergaard's body collided with Erling Haaland, a dull sound was heard, as if two boulders collided with each other. Yannick Vestergaard felt that he had hit an indestructible wall, and the strong reaction force made his body bounce back involuntarily. But Erling Haaland just shook slightly and quickly adjusted his posture.
Erling Haaland's shoulders were like a mountain made of steel. He shrugged his shoulders slightly and squeezed towards Yannick Vestergaard with force. Jannik Vestergaard felt the huge pressure, he gritted his teeth and tried hard to stabilize his body, but Erling Haaland's strength was too strong. Every physical contact made Jannik Vestergaard feel as if he was fighting a ferocious beast.
In this fierce physical confrontation, Erling Haaland completely dominated. His body was like a powerful fighting machine, constantly exerting pressure on Jannik Vestergaard. Although Jannik Vestergaard tried his best, he gradually became powerless in the face of Erling Haaland's overwhelming power. His face flushed red, and sweat continued to flow down his cheeks, but he still refused to give up and continued to fight against Erling Haaland tenaciously.
While confronting Jannik Vestergaard physically, Erling Haaland's feet were not idle. He first used his left foot to cleverly flick the ball to the right, causing Jannik Vestergaard, who was defending him, to hurriedly adjust his defensive position. However, Erling Haaland's movements were too fast. Before Yannick Vestergaard could fully react, he suddenly leaned to the left with his body. The strong impact made Yannick Vestergaard stagger back a few steps.
Then, Erling Haaland suddenly stopped, and Yannick Vestergaard almost fell due to inertia. At this moment, Erling Haaland turned around again, his body was like a spinning top, flexible and full of explosive power. While turning around, his right foot was raised high, ready to give his opponent a fatal blow.
With the sudden contraction of his leg muscles, he used all his strength to shoot the ball out. The football flew towards Southampton's goal at an amazing speed like a cannonball. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, with a strong rotation and huge impact, as if to blow the airAll torn apart.
The whole stadium was shocked by Erling Haaland's wonderful performance. The audience stood up one after another, staring wide-eyed, unable to believe the scene in front of them. But Erling Haaland remained focused, his eyes closely following the trajectory of the football, as if waiting for the verdict of victory.
Just over three minutes into the game, Manchester United took the lead, 1:0!
Manchester United did not relax their vigilance after scoring the goal, and they continued to maintain high-intensity defense and offense. Southampton was not discouraged by losing the ball. Under the organization of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, they gradually stabilized their position and began to counterattack Manchester United's goal.
In the eleventh minute of the game, the atmosphere at St. Mary's Stadium became more and more tense. Southampton's winger Nathan Redmond started like a flash of lightning on the wing. With his excellent speed and flexible dribbling skills, he easily broke through the defense of Manchester United player Diogo Dalot. Nathan Redmond seemed to be riding on a hot wheel, speeding all the way, leaving Manchester United's defense behind.
Near the bottom line, Nathan Redmond keenly observed the running position of Shane Patrick Long in the middle. He passed the ball without hesitation, and the football drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew accurately to Shane Patrick Long.
Shane Patrick Long caught the ball steadily, but did not rush to shoot, but made a slight adjustment. He gently bounced the ball, feeling the landing point and strength of the ball. The surrounding Manchester United defender Joshko Gwadiol quickly gathered around, but Shane Patrick Long did not panic at all. He calmly observed the situation around him, looking for the best shooting angle.
Finally, Shane Patrick Long saw the right time and shot hard. The ball was like an arrow from a string, flying towards Manchester United's goal at a very fast speed. However, fate seemed to play a little joke at this moment. As the ball flew, it hit the Manchester United defender Josh Gwadiol who was defending him. After the ball was refracted, its trajectory changed instantly. This change made the direction of the ball even more elusive.
Although Manchester United goalkeeper Christian Romero had been concentrating on the movement of the ball, he also made a mistake in his judgment in the face of this sudden refraction. The ball flew into Manchester United's goal at a very fast speed.
Southampton tied the score, 1:1.
St. Mary's Stadium was boiling instantly, and the warm atmosphere spread rapidly like a surging tide. Southampton fans jumped up from their seats, waving their scarves and flags, shouting at the top of their lungs, as if to release all the excitement and joy in their hearts. The cheers, shouts, and whistles intertwined to form a powerful wave of sound that echoed over the stadium.
In the stands, costumes of various colors such as red, white, and blue intertwined to form a colorful picture. Southampton's supporters jumped excitedly, their faces were filled with pride and joy, and their eyes were shining with excitement. Some people clapped vigorously, and the crisp applause seemed to be cheering for the team's wonderful performance; some people hugged each other to celebrate the hard-won goal.
On the court, Southampton's players hugged each other tightly, cheering, jumping, and releasing their inner joy. Shane Patrick Long was surrounded by his teammates, with a bright smile on his face and a sense of accomplishment in his eyes.
In every corner of the court, the staff were also infected by the warm atmosphere. They watched it all with a smile and were proud of this wonderful game. At this moment, St. Mary's Stadium became a sea of joy. The only flaw was that the goal was finally determined by the referee team and was confirmed to be an own goal by Joshko Gwadiol, and Shane Patrick Long only got one assist.
After equalizing the score, Southampton's morale was boosted, and they continued to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal. Manchester United was not to be outdone. Under the organization of midfielder Bruno Fernandes, they were also looking for opportunities to take the lead again.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Bruno Fernandes was like a calm commander, controlling the ball steadily in the midfield. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, quickly scanning the entire field, looking for the best attacking opportunity. At that moment, he keenly captured Erling Haaland's threatening running position.
Bruno Fernandes did not hesitate at all, and decisively raised his right foot, and a precise long pass passed like a flash of lightning.Above the stadium. The football was spinning in the air at high speed, flying accurately towards Erling Haaland.
Erling Haaland was like a cheetah, always ready to catch prey. When the ball flew towards him, he started quickly and rushed towards the football at an amazing speed. Seeing this, Southampton defender Robert Huth rushed forward to defend, trying to stop Erling Haaland from catching the ball. However, Erling Haaland's speed was too fast, and he got rid of Robert Huth's defense in an instant like a whirlwind.
