At the beginning of the first half of extra time, Tottenham continued to adopt an all-out defensive strategy.

At this point in the game, Tottenham's midfield and frontcourt could no longer sprint, and their physical confrontation was also weak. They could only delay time by shrinking and defending.

Lao Lei’s idea is also very clear, which is to drag the game through half an hour of overtime and enter the penalty shootout.

In the overtime, Tottenham could not take any advantage of Southampton, a team known for its physical strength. Even though Southampton was playing with 10 players, Tottenham's real advantage was in penalty shootouts. Therefore, as long as the overtime was tied, they could basically beat Southampton by penalties.

This is also the reason why even though Van der Vaart and others could no longer run, Ray still insisted on letting them stay on the field.

In the first half of extra time, Southampton, led by Gu Ran, launched a massive attack and completely took the initiative.

Tottenham Hotspur defended like a bus.

Southampton had three great chances. One was when Gu Ran's through ball was cleared away by Ledley King. The second was when Chamberlain cut inside and shook off Joel Luka, but his shot hit the post. The third was when Gu Ran's long-range shot was deflected by Gomez and hit the crossbar.

Tottenham defended well, but they were also in a mess.

Who could have thought that a strong Premier League team that scored four goals in the first half would be dragged into overtime by a League One team and be pinned to the ground and repeatedly rubbed during the overtime.

Tottenham fans in Wembley Stadium all felt their faces burning.

Even if Tottenham won the game today, they would not be too happy.

What's more, if they continue playing like this, they may not win.

The first half of extra time ended quickly. Southampton bombarded fiercely, but ultimately failed to break through Tottenham's door.

All the Southampton players were a little impatient.

The Tottenham players secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they felt a lot of pressure.

The referee allowed the two teams to take a brief break for 2 minutes, then exchanged venues and continued the game.

25th minute of extra time.

After receiving the pass from Chamberlain on the wing, Gu Ran accelerated and dribbled the ball diagonally into Tottenham's penalty area!

Although he had already played for 120 minutes, Gu Ran was still full of energy and his sprinting speed remained unchanged!

Tottenham's defensive players knew that Gu Ran was going to cut into the penalty area, but they just couldn't block the loophole!

At this critical moment, veteran loyalist Ledley King rushed forward to block the ball! Gu Ran was not afraid at all. He made a quick Marseille turn, protecting the ball while turning around and passing the ball to Lallana who had already broken into the penalty area! Then, Gu Ran completed the Marseille turn against Ledley King and rushed towards the ball that Lallana had knocked back! Gu Ran was about to rush into the penalty area!

Ledley King quickly reached out to grab Gu Ran, while Michael Dawson on the other side fell to the ground and slid to tackle Gu Ran from behind!

Beep beep beep!

The referee blew the whistle immediately! The fans at Wembley Stadium were like a pot of boiling water! Tottenham fans covered their faces and wailed! It was embarrassing enough for them to defend with all their strength, and now Michael Dawson fouled at this time, which was simply giving away heads!

Fans of Southampton, Chelsea and Arsenal are all worried about Gu Ran's injury!

For Chelsea and Arsenal fans, they don't care whether Southampton can win the League Cup or not. They only care that their future team star Gu Ran doesn't get injured! For Southampton, they don't want their star player Gu Ran to get injured, but if they can take the opportunity to win the League Cup and create history for Southampton, that would be great!

The referee showed Michael Dawson a red card!

Tottenham's central defender was sent off! This was undoubtedly a huge bad news for Tottenham, who were defending with all their strength! Even worse news was that the referee awarded Southampton a free kick very close to the penalty area line.

The worse news was that not long after Gu Ran was tackled and flew into the air, he crawled up from the grass as if nothing had happened.

Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez urgently arranged a human wall.

Gu Ran bent down and straightened the football.

Tottenham fans were extremely nervous.

Southampton fans also clasped their hands together and prayed silently.

Gu Ran himself was also very nervous.

This ball is very crucial, so the pressure of kicking this ball can be imagined.

Gu Ran took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down.

The game has come this far, and my performance has been amazing. There is nothing to regret! I just need to play at my normal level!

Gu took three steps back, then sprinted forward with all his strength, swinging his right leg and shooting! Crescent Moon Scimitar!

Deadly elevator!

Heavy artillery long-range shooting!

Multiple overlays!

The football was like an electromagnetic cannonball, passing through the highest end of the Spurs wall in a crescent-shaped arc, and then falling rapidly! Gomez's counterattack was very quick, and he judged the trajectory of the football almost at the same time as Gu Ran kicked it!

Gomez jumped up and stretched his body to the limit to make the save!

If you were to rate Gomez's save, it would definitely be a high score of 9.9!

Giving 0.1 points less is because we are afraid that Gomez will become proud!

Of course, although the move was beautiful, Gomez did not touch the ball!

The arc of Gu Ran's scimitar elevator ball was so strange and three-dimensional! Gomez only defended Gu Ran's scimitar arc, but failed to defend Gu Ran's fatal elevator! The football landed in front of Gomez and bounced up again, just bypassing Gomez's 9.9-point horizontal dive and bouncing towards the net! Gomez... was helpless!

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

On the two big screens at Wembley Stadium, the score immediately changed to Tottenham Hotspur 5:6 Southampton! The entire Wembley Stadium was on fire! More than 90,000 fans witnessed a miracle of a comeback in the finals!

Southampton came back from 5 down to 6!

Southampton fans are going crazy!

The fans in the live broadcast room were all crazy!

Especially those fans who bought Southampton to win with a two-goal handicap, and those fans who took the risk to buy Southampton to win, have already seen the God of Wealth smiling at them!

Tottenham fans covered their faces with their hands in disbelief! Tottenham players were also dumbfounded, with empty eyes.

The Southampton players on the field rushed towards Gu Ran frantically, pressing Gu Ran under them to celebrate!

In the visiting team's technical area, Coach Adkins was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt on the grass and kept thanking God.

In the home team's technical area, old Ray Redknapp impatiently asked the players to kick off as soon as possible.

There is not much time left in overtime!
