Chapter 200: Just one more match away from reaching the top?



Although Arsenal have had a somewhat lackluster season and have almost fallen out of the title race, their opponent is Sir Alex Ferguson, and Wenger is unlikely to hold back against the manager!

So from the moment the referee blew the whistle, the two sides engaged in a very intense battle, with the game going back and forth, which even Li Shiguang found incredibly exciting.

However, neither side scored in the first half, and after 45 minutes, the score remained 0-0 as the two teams entered the locker room.

It's unclear what kind of pep talk Ferguson gave his players in the locker room, but the situation on the field changed at the very beginning of the second half.

In the 53rd minute, Ronaldo broke through on the right wing, crossed the ball into the middle, and the pass pierced through Arsenal's entire defense. No one touched the ball, and Rooney, who was making a run at the far post, finished it off, giving Manchester United the lead!

After taking the lead, Manchester United retreated to their own half, and Ferguson brought on Park Ji-sung to strengthen the midfield defense in an attempt to maintain their one-goal advantage.

However, in Li Shiguang's opinion, this move was really a bit of a blunder.

Manchester United's defense is certainly strong, but Arsenal's attack is also world-class!

After nearly half an hour of siege, Van Persie finally seized an opportunity outside the penalty area and broke through Manchester United's defense with a powerful long-range shot!

1-1, Arsenal equalized in the 83rd minute!

Li Shiguang was already quite satisfied with what was originally a draw, but when luck comes, it's truly unstoppable.

In the 90th minute, Manchester United, eager to secure three points, launched a high-pressing attack, but Fabregas intercepted the ball in midfield and then played a through ball to Henry, who had beaten the offside trap. Henry, who was in a one-on-one situation, naturally didn't let the opportunity slip by, easily dribbling past the onrushing Van der Sar and scoring.

Arsenal secured a dramatic 2-1 victory at home!

After the referee blew the final whistle, Ferguson's relaxed smile from before the match was gone.

Li Shiguang, who was sitting at home and reaping the benefits, laughed wildly, then picked up Shakira and rushed upstairs.

He had already calculated it.

Even if Manchester United and Leeds United win all their remaining matches, if Leeds United win their rescheduled match against Watford, they will catch up with Manchester United in points, and there's a high probability they will top the Premier League table on goal difference...
