In the 3rd minute of the game, Mikel successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt. Gu Ran suddenly made a quick run without the ball. Mikel immediately kicked the ball accurately to Gu Ran's feet.

Gu Ran dribbled the ball past three players and broke into the front penalty area at a 45-degree angle on the left side. Then, under the double-team of two defenders, he took an unreasonable shot!

The goalkeeper of Peterborough United also reacted very quickly, leaping back to save the ball in a beautiful posture.

However, Gu Ran's shot was extremely powerful!

Although the goalkeeper of Peterborough United touched the ball with his fingers, he was completely unable to change the direction of the ball!

The football was perfectly shot into the side net!

The referee gestured to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid!

Southampton 1:0 Peterborough United!

Southampton had an extremely fantastic start, the connection between Gu Ran and Mikel was so sharp right from the start! Southampton fans were excitedly singing and dancing in the stands, celebrating wildly! They seemed to have seen the English League One trophy! After scoring the goal, Gu Ran took the initiative to run to Mikel to celebrate!

The game continues.

Peterborough United strengthened their defense in the middle.

But Southampton has two B2B midfielders. Mikel is in charge of the backcourt defense, handles the backcourt for Gu Ran, and can also help Gu Ran with some dirty work, while Gu Ran puts all his energy into revitalizing the entire team.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Gu Ran brought the ball to the right and switched positions with Schneiderlin.

Gu Ran made a very beautiful arc ball while being double-teamed by three defensive players. Schneiderlin cut into the small penalty area and jumped high to head the ball. Unfortunately, the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper of Peterburg United with both hands.

The Peterborough United player picked up the first landing point and then kicked the ball towards the center line.

Gu Ran and others immediately returned to defend.

The forward of Peterborough United competed with Mikel for the header. Mikel was in a good position and used his physical strength to block the opponent's forward and snatched the ball.

Gu Ran just retreated to a nearby place, and Mikel immediately made a short pass to Gu Ran, who then sprinted back with the ball! During this tug-of-war, the players of Peterborough United simply couldn't keep up with Gu Ran's speed.

A large gap was left in Peterborough United's formation.

Facing the six-man double team that was about to rush over, Gu Ran calmly passed the ball directly into the penalty area. Gu Li, who was not guarded, stopped the ball, turned around and shot! The goalkeeper of Peterborough United was helpless!

The ball goes in! Southampton 2:0 Peterborough United!

Gu Ran's dominance on the field made the players of Peterborough United sigh with their hands on their hips! The entire St. Mary's Stadium was shouting the Chinese name of the Chinese father Gu Ran!

There are all kinds of big rockets and carnival bombings in the live broadcast room!

The game continues!

In the 30th minute of the first half, Gu Ran and Mikel again made a "gangster-like" robbery in the middle and intercepted the ball from Peterborough United's fast advance. After Gu Ran dribbled the ball and broke through Peterborough United's left wing defense, he passed the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain moved up the wing, quickly went to the bottom and made a reverse triangle pass. Gu Ran attracted four Peterborough United players and at the same time used his body to cover the ball passed by Chamberlain, allowing the ball to pass past Lallana who was following behind!

This ball was so beautiful that it was like feeding the cake into Lallana's large intestine!

Lallana didn't even pause or adjust, he just shot with his left foot!

The goalkeeper of Peterborough United didn't react at all! The ball went in! Southampton 3:0 Peterborough United!

Although leading by three goals, Southampton did not open champagne in the midfield. Head coach Adkins still carefully summarized the team's offensive mistakes in the first half and the players' unreasonable positioning.

Adkins asked the players not to think about the result of the first half or the championship, but to play the game with a normal mentality, display their technical and tactical levels, and prepare for the game against Tottenham at the end of the month.

With a bigger goal, the Southampton players naturally calmed down.

After the half-time break, players from both teams returned to the field and continued the game.

Peterborough United continued to strengthen their defense, while Southampton continued to strengthen their offense.

With Gu Ran in the midfield, the entire Southampton team seemed to have a soul, and all lines coordinated very cohesively.

In the 52nd minute, Southampton got a corner kick.

Gu Ran took a corner kick with a crescent-shaped ball and sent the ball to the back post. Jaidi at the back post jumped high and headed the ball. The defender of Peterborough United jumped up and headed the ball - the ball went in.

In fact, Jaidi missed the ball.

But the opposing defender headed the ball correctly.

The goalkeeper of Peterborough United was dumbfounded.

We were already beaten 3:0 by Southampton, and now we conceded an own goal. It can only get worse.

The referee signaled that the goal was valid, and Southampton happily accepted the gift from the second-placed Peterborough United. The score on the big screen was changed to Southampton 4:0 Peterborough United.

For a long time afterwards, Peterburg United retreated into its own half and parked the bus.

There is nothing wrong with the tactic of parking the bus. When Southampton played against Chelsea, they wanted to park the bus for the entire 90 minutes. However, this was a match between the first and second place teams in English Football League One! The second place team in English Football League One parked the bus in full view of the public. This was really a bit of a fuss.

Under the on-the-spot command of coach Adkins, Southampton did not continue to increase its intensity.

After all, the victory of this game is basically decided. Although they can win the English League One championship after winning this game, for Southampton, what is really important is the game against Tottenham at the end of the month. Before the game with Tottenham, these main players must not be in any danger.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle, the score on the big screen froze at Southampton 4:0 Peterborough United.

Although the second half was dull, Southampton fans were satisfied!

The whole stadium cheered for Southampton and Gu Ran! The victory in this game also meant that in the remaining English League One games this season, even if Southampton lost all of them, Southampton would still be the champion!

Southampton won the championship with an absolute advantage 16 rounds in advance! Promoted to the Championship next season!

After the game, the entire Southampton team changed into the championship jerseys that had been prepared long ago and accepted awards from FA officials!

That night, the whole of Southampton was in a carnival!

The market value of Southampton Football Club also rose accordingly!
