On the evening of April 23, Beijing time, the 34th round of the Premier League officially began, and a game played in the morning attracted the attention of a large number of fans, and Arsenal sat at home and ushered in the challenge of Red Devils Manchester United.
Two giants that once fought for the Premier League title are now fighting for a Champions League ticket.
Before the match, Tottenham and Arsenal had 57 points, ranking fourth and fifth respectively, and Manchester United were sixth with 54 points. For Manchester United, it is very disadvantageous that they have one less game than both Tottenham and Arsenal.
In addition, both Luke Shaw and Pogba have confirmed season reimbursement. In this game, Lonnick also made adjustments to the lineup, and captain Maguire was on standby on the bench after experiencing a bomb storm. C Luo, who experienced the death of his son in the newborn dragon and phoenix fetus, returned to the starting lineup.
It is worth noting that before this game, C Ronaldo made a total of 222 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 99 goals, only 1 goal away from his 100-goal mark!
After the opening, Arsenal took the initiative in attack, and the game was only in the 3rd minute when Arsenal scored!
Xhaka's direct cross, Varane and Tres you leaked after I came to miss, Saka got the ball and shot from a small angle, which was saved by De Gea.
As a result, Tavarez scored with ease at the back post, and when he made up the shot, the United defence continued to leak!
United, who were behind at the beginning, were not without opportunities, and in the 10th minute, Ramsdale's pass was directly snatched by McTominay, who quickly passed to B Fee.
B Fei also shot at the first time, but was blocked by Gabriel who came up from the defense, Arsenal was terrified, B Fei and C Ronaldo were both hiding their faces and sighing.
In the 23rd minute, United's forward line was continuously crossed, and Dalot's long-range shot hit the crossbar directly. Erlanga quickly passed the ball to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo was unable to flash out of the angle of the shot, and his pass was snatched.
Just two minutes later, Arsenal's simple pass tore up United's defence and if it weren't for De Gea, United would have conceded the ball again.
Arsenal's next wave of attack produced a divine plot, Odegaard passed the ball into the box, Saka fell to the ground after contact with Tres, the ball reached the feet of Nketiah, Nketiah scored, and the scoreboard became 2-0.
However, the Manchester United players first signaled that Nketiah was offside, and after looking back, the goal was cancelled.
The dramatic reversal had only just begun, with the referee looking back and concluding there was a foul on Tres and Arsenal taking the penalty. Saka deceived De Gea and scored easily, making it 2-0.
In the 34th minute, just two minutes before Arsenal scored, Nemanja Matic sent a cross and Cristiano Ronaldo scored calmly, his 100th goal in the Premier League!
Reaching the milestone, C Luo did not celebrate, his expression is still serious! The first half is not over yet, both teams have contributed 3 goals, quite wonderful!
