Chapter 920 Halftime Winner

The intensity of the showdown between the two sides far exceeded people's imagination.

People who thought Everton would focus on defense were surprised by the fierce attacks Arsenal encountered on the court, and people who thought Arsenal's five midfielders could quickly control the situation were also surprised by the Gunners' embarrassment under the opponent's high pressure.

However, this does not mean that Everton was hammering the Gunners one-sidedly. In fact, although his midfield rhythm has not been controlled by his own feet for a long time, Arsenal's offense is no faster than Everton's.

After the tenth minute of the game, almost every time, no matter where Everton's offense was advanced, when the Gunners cut the ball, Arsenal will definitely be able to push the offense out.

After realizing the opponent's defense strength, the Gunners' players were all very clever, and the ball was constantly conveyed forward in the form of a single kick. The small cooperation between several players directly attracted a lot of luck.

In the 14th minute of the game, after Gansu and Wilshire cooperated in a row, the Gunners attacked and advanced to the hinterland of Everton's midfield. Before the opponent's defensive midfield came over, the ball was directly picked up by Gansu into the Everton's penalty area.

Liu Feng jumped high and hit the ball, but he was sorry for the interference of the defender Jagirka, who pushed the ball out of the baseline.

Then three minutes later, Ramsey in the midfielder cut off his kick and Gibson received a big-foot ball from his goalkeeper and then directly drove towards his opponent's big-foot ball in front of the penalty area.

This time Gansuo jumped into an inverted gold hook outside the penalty area, but because the position was too far from the goal, when the ball flew in front of the goal, Everton goalkeeper Howard was already reacting enough, and he jumped to hold the ball in his hand.

The two consecutive attacks were very excited by the Gunners fans, who kept shouting the team's name in the stands and the scarf and flags in their hands were flying.

However, as their opponent, Everton did defend these two attacks, which fully demonstrated their resilience.

In this resilience, Moyes's team was not without offense, and they quickly created their own threats in the subsequent time.

First in the 25th minute of the game, Everton team connected to Fellaini through Distin on the wing to launch an impact on the Gunners from the wing.

The two players cooperated very well and both went on the wing, so their speed of advancement was slowed down for a moment until Fellaini hit Alves.

Then before Alves rushed over to press, Fellaini had already passed the ball with a standard forty-five-degree cross.

Everton's forward Milaras jumped high in the penalty area. Since he would definitely pass the teammates, the forward who was mentally prepared in advance directly grabbed the landing point.

His head hit the ball hard and directly changed the direction and flew towards the goal. Fortunately, due to the interference of Mertesak, the header angle was very positive.

Szczesny hurriedly blocked the ball with his chest, and then quickly swept his hands to hold it down when it bounced outward.

Compared to the Gunners' wave after wave of attack, Everton's offense was more like a time-press. After more than ten minutes of this thrilling attack, they continued to defend and pressed, and finally cut off the counterattack of the ball under the Gunner's feet came again.

This time, the Toffees were on the right side. After taking the ball, the full-back Coleman quickly inserted it. Without waiting for a quick return to catch up, Wilshire, who wanted to counterattack on the spot, responded directly with a diagonal pass to Ottoman in the middle.

Ottoman, who took the ball, did not show any signs. He took the ball and advanced across the half. When the Gunners had only one midfielder left to defend, he rushed towards De Jong and killed him.

De Jong did not dare to neglect and approached quickly, and then there was a scene where Ottoman calmly gave Fellaini the next moment.

This time, Fellaini did not walk along the side road, but followed the position where he was holding the ball and headed towards the middle road.

Alves on the right side rushed over all the way to interfere from the side, and Vermallen, who was directly facing him in the middle, was also ready to face the battle.

In this case, it seems like Fellaini has no better way to penetrate further besides passing.

However, he actually had no intention of continuing to penetrate. When the ball was pulled hard by him and took off and flew towards the goal, the sudden long shot caught all Arsenals off guard.

At this moment, Szczesni showed his goal of a goalkeeper. He flew out and swung his left fist hard, and punched the ball into the upper right corner of the goal, and threw it into the sky and flew out of the bottom line from the crossbar.

When the shot was completed, the Everton fans present went crazy. They jumped and shouted at the Emirates Stadium, as if they regarded this as their home court.

However, what made Everton fans the most crazy is still behind.

"The ball was dragged out of the baseline and Everton got a corner kick opportunity on the right side of the penalty area."

Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun almost had an orgasm by Fellaini's shocking long shot, but then all the amazement was given to the Gunner's goalkeeper Szczesny.

At this moment, watching Everton quickly set up inside and outside the Gunners' penalty area, the two of them naturally focused their attention again.

"Gibson took the corner kick this time, and Ottoman leaned over to meet on the right side of the penalty area, while Fellaini and other headers were in the penalty area."

"Shh!!!"

Before Zhan Jun finished assigning Everton's offensive personnel, the referee had already blew the whistle and signaled Everton to kick off.

When Gibson made a two-step run-up and tried his best to kick the ball and gently pushed the ball to Ottoman who had already come close to him, there was no doubt that the defenders in the Arsenal penalty area were collectively shaken.

"Everton's tactical corner kick, Ottoman made another cross, Fellaini!!!"

This time, Fellaini, who was pressing down on Tarzan, did not disappoint the Toffee fans anymore. The ball was pushed directly by his forehead, and then he hit the Gunners net with a speed that humans had no time to react.

"The ball is in! It is in! It is in! Fellaini scored a header~ Everton knocked on the Arsenal goal with a tactical corner kick."

At this moment, with the birth of the goal, the time just came to forty minutes. Everton's attack with Ding Mao and Mao finally broke the Gunners' goal.

Compared with them, Arsenal, which had been slow to attack but had not scored a goal, was obviously at a disadvantage.

"There was a winner in the first half of the game, and the Everton team took the lead with their amazing stability and few times, but every time it was a high-quality offense."

On the court, the Everton players who were excited to celebrate together also formed a sharp contrast with the Gunners who were sighing helplessly on their hips.
