In the end, this highly anticipated match came to a close, with Arsenal narrowly defeating the formidable Manchester United thanks to a brilliant goal, successfully winning this crucial battle.
This victory not only propelled Arsenal further up the standings, solidifying their second-place position in the league, but also boosted the team's morale.
In the post-match evaluation, goalkeeper Lei Ming was once again selected as the most valuable player (MVP) of the game without any doubt.
His outstanding performance in the match was one of the key factors in Arsenal's victory.
Facing Manchester United's relentless attacks, Lei Ming made numerous brilliant saves, keeping the goal intact. His steady and excellent command built an impenetrable defensive line for the team.
Lei Ming's heroic performance earned cheers and applause from the entire stadium, and his teammates also congratulated him. This young goalkeeper has gradually grown into a pillar of the team's defense, and his future is undoubtedly full of unlimited possibilities. Everyone is increasingly confident in Lei Ming's position as captain.
Santos, in particular, is one of them.
Although the only goal of the match was scored by Santos, who played quite well, he said to be honest that he was not jealous at all about the Man of the Match award, and that Ray deserved it.
He himself was quite dissatisfied with his performance before scoring a goal on the field, as he was almost completely shut down by the opponent.
Lei Ming once again became the focus of attention after the game, receiving a lot of attention.
Especially after the match, even Mourinho, who usually doesn't like to comment on his opponents, talked about his opinion on Lei Ming at the press conference.
“Ray is outstanding, I’ve always known that. It’s not surprising that he won the MVP award for this game, and I firmly believe that he will become one of the top goalkeepers in the future.”
Almost none of the reporters present expected that Mourinho would give such high praise to the Arsenal captain.
Meanwhile, Wenger also spared no expense in praising his disciple.
That night, Arsenal once again became the topic of conversation among many fans, and Lei Ming indeed became known to more fans.
However, Lei Ming did not pay much attention to the outside world's clamor, but instead devoted more energy to the competition.
On December 8th, despite the biting cold, Arsenal's home ground was bustling with activity.
Today, they will face their final opponent in the Europa League – BATE Borisov. Led by veteran captain Mertesacker, Arsenal II stepped onto the pitch with high confidence.
After the match started, Arsenal quickly got into the game and showed their usual strength in performing well against weaker opponents.
The players cooperated seamlessly, their offense flowed smoothly, and their defense was as solid as an impenetrable wall.
Every pass and shot drew cheers from the audience.
In the end, Arsenal won a stunning 6-0 victory over their opponents, achieving a brilliant record.
Arsenal have performed exceptionally well in this season's Europa League, winning all six of their matches and dominating Group H.
In the recent Premier League season, they have been unstoppable, trailing league leaders Manchester City by only two points and sitting in second place in the standings.
Arsenal fans are ecstatic about the team's current achievements and are extremely proud of their performance.
Such a result is something most fans wouldn't have dared to dream of before the season. In fact, if someone told them this, they would be laughed at for knowing nothing about Arsenal.
However, in reality, the new generation of gunmen really did it!
This moment brought tears of joy to countless Arsenal fans.
For the next period of time, whenever a team had a match, fans' hearts were almost always on their minds, and they would also inquire about what the matches of Manchester City next door were like in their spare time.
They easily defeated Southampton 0-3 away from home.
Arsenal defeated West Ham United 0-5 away from home, with Lacazette scoring his first hat-trick since joining the club. He was undoubtedly named Man of the Match.
2-0 home win against New York Street United.
The team secured a 2-1 home victory against Liverpool. Notably, in this match, Liverpool's striker Firmino finally fulfilled the goal he set for himself before the game and broke the team's clean sheet record that had been held all season.
Although Liverpool ultimately couldn't secure a victory at the Emirates Stadium, Firmino, Liverpool's only goalscorer in the match, was fairly satisfied with the result.
At the very least, he proved to his peers with his actions that this freakish goalkeeper wasn't actually a god; he was just exceptionally good. Look, I scored a goal! Hahahaha.
Firmino's breakthrough has indeed given hope to many Premier League forwards, and some who previously felt inferior when facing Arsenal's Roar have become more confident.
As for Lei Ming, he was not actually frustrated about losing his clean sheet record. He could not achieve zero mistakes in the face of such a dense schedule in the Premier League.
Firmino's goal was close in distance, and the uncertainty of a header meant that although he guessed the right direction, he only touched the ball a tiny bit, which was not enough to change the ball's trajectory and make it into the goal.
At the same time, he truly experienced what a packed schedule looks like. This is completely different from when he was at Monaco last season. Even though Arsenal is a team that doesn't participate in the Champions League, they are already so busy. You can imagine how busy the other Premier League teams that do participate in the Champions League are!
It's no wonder that some people in the Premier League keep emphasizing the importance of squad depth.
As the season progresses, Arsenal's upward momentum continues, and they have been closely following Manchester City. Wenger knows very well that they must be patient and wait for their opportunities to come.
Driven by his dream of winning the league championship, he even increased his working hours.
So far, 21 rounds of the Premier League have been played, and Arsenal are still trailing behind by two points. This situation has made Manchester City's players feel very anxious.
Finally, in the 22nd round of the competition, Premier League leaders Manchester City gave Arsenal a chance to take the lead.
This is a match between Manchester City and Crystal Palace away from home.
Logically speaking, Manchester City is first in the league, while Crystal Palace is seventeenth, a team with one foot in the relegation zone. The two teams are almost incomparable in terms of squad strength and market value.
