Chapter 120
The referee noticed Mata's shout, but instead of sounding the whistle, he made gestures to continue attacking as he ran.
He regarded the small movements of Harry Kane and McNair just now as normal physical confrontations, not the kind that whistled.
Harry Kane stuck McNair behind him, and United's other two centre-backs, Evans and Phil Jones, followed suit in the direction of Harry Kane.
Feeling McNair tugging at his shirt and desperately pulling back, Harry Kane glanced up at the situation in the Manchester United penalty area, and goalkeeper De Gea did not choose to abandon the goal, but adjusted his body posture on the goal line.
Harry Kane decided to shoot, he resisted McNair and used his right foot to shoot the ball.
"Bang-"
With a muffled sound, the football was shot by Harry Kane on the line of the big penalty area, and the ball spun towards the upper right corner of the goal in mid-air.
De Gea flew in but he didn't save and the ball grazed the top right corner of the goal and shot into the stands.
Harry Kane was too angled to shoot and he couldn't score the goal that came close to a single shot.
When Harry Kane was downcast, several players in the Manchester United back line gave each other high fives, and the cold sweat that had just been shocked by Harry Kane on their cheeks had not yet dissipated.
......
In the 72nd minute, Carrick took Erickson, who was ready to pass the ball, away from the Manchester United back, followed by a swinging leg to pass the ball to Mata in front of him.
Chen Huan trotted back, but Stambley behind him seemed to have decided to follow Chen Huan if he didn't go anywhere in this game, clinging to Chen Huan to death.
Juan Mata received Carrick's pass unguarded and turned to face Tottenham Hotspur's goal, he did not choose to split the ball at the first time, dribbled the ball forward, and when facing Ryan Mason, he gave the ball to Valencia on the wing.
At this moment, Chen Huan suddenly started the forward insertion, because Chen Huan had chosen his position by jogging for several minutes before, and this sudden high-speed start directly left Stambley behind.
"This!" Chen Huan raised his hand in the rib area of Tottenham Hotspur half.
Valencia's right-footed ball was hoisted in front of Chen Huan, and Tottenham's central defender Fasio had to swing out and compete with Chen Huan for the high-altitude ball.
The two jumped at the same time, their bodies collided in mid-air, and Chen Huan flicked his head to pass the ball to Wilson, who had rushed to the gap due to Fasio's sudden forward top.
"Damn it!" Tottenham's full-back Kirikesh immediately rushed to fill in the vacancy for Fasio, but Wilson blocked Kirikesh behind him with open arms and stopped the ball at his feet.
At this time, Chen Huan and Fasio had also landed, and Fasio did not force Wilson at the first time, but looked at Chen Huan on the side with great jealousy.
"Wing!" Chen Huan yelled at Wilson.
The England striker did not hesitate and immediately hit the ball on the wing of the pitch with his heel.
The Tottenham players all looked back together and Ashley Young appeared before football.
Kirikesh could only go again to fill in the gap on the wing, but Ashley Young snatched in a cross before he could get back into position.
At this time, Tottenham's central defender Fasio was still following Chen Huan, because Chen Huan did not enter the box at the first time, and the Tottenham central defender did not follow into the box.
"Mine!" Falcao, wearing the number 9 shirt, jumped high around the front point, and he slammed his head on the football.
The football changed direction and flew towards Tottenham's goal.
Lowry could not even make a save, and the football had already hit the net.
The distance is so close that even the top goalkeepers are 50% unable to make effective saves.
Falcao had already rushed to the corner to celebrate, and the rest of United's team-mates followed.
"Why are you following me all the time?" Chen Huan raised his finger and pointed to the position where Falcao had just jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal, and said murderously: "That's your position, if you stay in your position, he won't have a chance to complete this header." "
You..." Fasio was just about to greet Chen Huan with the word with the letter F, but saw that Chen Huan, wearing Manchester United's No. 30 shirt, had already run to the corner area to celebrate with his teammates.
......
"Scored! In the 75th minute of the game, Manchester United broke through Tottenham Hotspur with a header! In
the Dragon Kingdom Sports Channel, Xiao Zhan said excitedly.
'The goal was scored by Falcao with a header from Ashley Young after a cross from the wing, which was the Colombian striker's first goal in the league this season, so let's watch the replay again.
On the screen, the full picture of the goal just scored is being played.
Director Zhang smiled and said, "Did you notice a detail?" Tottenham centre-back Fasio, who was supposed to be in front of the goal, has not returned to the box since he fluctuated out of the box to stare at Chen Huan, so his position is completely empty.
"Yes, Falcao also noticed that Fasio was slow to replay, so he immediately went around from behind Vertonghen to the front point, and then flicked his head to attack the goal." Xiao Zhan responded.
"Yes, we have a basis to say that it is not a nonsense, although Chen Huan did not participate in the finishing process this time, his credit in this ball is not small."
"That's right." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
"But we can't say that Fasio's choice is wrong, why? You look at the situation just now, if Fasio chose to return to the restricted area at that time, then Chen Huan's position would be empty. Ashley Young has the option of knocking the ball over, and we all know that Chen Huan's long-range shot at the front of the penalty area is very lethal. "
Yes, that's the defensive trade-off, but it's unfortunate for Fasio because his decision has led to Tottenham's current equaliser at home."
......
Manchester United's morale has improved considerably since the equaliser, and the team's defense and attack have not languished due to the decline in stamina heading into the end of the game.
Tottenham, who are sitting at home, naturally do not want to concede at home, and they are also looking for this opportunity to take the lead again.
The managers of both teams also opted to make personnel changes in the 79th minute.
Tottenham replaced No. 17 Townsend with No.11 striker Lamela and No. 22 Shazley with No.19 all-around midfielder Dembele.
Manchester United replaced in-form Evans and 33 McNair with 12 Smalling and 3 Luke Shaw.
