Although Mignolet is considered to be one of the top young goalkeepers in Europe, with a reaction as quick as a knife, Mignolet never expected that Gu Ran's shot would be so simple and crude, and completely unreasonable!
Mignolet's reaction was obviously only 0.1 second slow, and the football was shot into the net with such domineering and fierce force!
The ball went in! Gu Ran forced a shot and scored!
The score on the big screen of the Stadium of Light was immediately changed to Sunderland 3:3 Southampton! Southampton tied the score again! Gu Ran's goal was so inspiring! It was so shocking! This goal also completely changed the situation on the field! Now, it was not Southampton that was passive, but Sunderland!
As a mid-table Premier League team, it has a lot of Manchester United resources, but it ended up fighting so miserably against a League One team.
As the game continued, Sunderland became more impatient and their actions became more violent.
In the 84th minute, Gu Ran passed the ball to Schneiderlin on the right again.
This position is Sunderland's weak area.
Sunderland's left midfielder is Zenden, but Zenden is obviously no longer as brave as he used to be.
Schneiderlin's speed is not that of a fast horse, but it is easy for him to surpass Zenden with his speed.
Gu Ran also saw this point and kept passing the ball to his own right, which is Sunderland's left.
Zenden's physical fitness was originally very poor, and after a few times, Sunderland's left side almost collapsed.
This time, after receiving the ball, Schneiderlin was ready to attack Zenden again with speed, but the angry Dutchman directly hugged Schneiderlin's waist and threw him to the ground with a judo throw.
Schneiderlin immediately covered his waist and rolled back and forth on the grass in pain.
Southampton players quickly surrounded Zenden and pushed him aggressively.
The Sunderland players also rolled up their sleeves and pushed and shoved the Southampton players.
The two sides are on the verge of a fight!
Fortunately, the referee intervened by blowing the whistle at this time.
The referee gave Zenden a yellow card, gave Malbranque a yellow card, gave Formkielan a yellow card, and then gave Lambert and Richardson of Southampton a yellow card each.
After this wave of conflict, both sides suffered 50 blows each.
Southampton fans and Newcastle fans were very dissatisfied with the referee's decision.
After all, Cen Deng's judo moves definitely deserved a red card, but the referee was so blind that he only gave him a yellow card.
Southampton players also surrounded the referee and put various pressures on him.
But the referee still insisted on his original decision.
Southampton also got a free kick near the wing.
This free kick was at least 45 meters away from the goal and the angle was extremely off.
In daily training, Gu Ran is still somewhat confident that he can score directly with the Crescent Moon Scimitar, but in high-intensity competition, especially when the opponent is the goalkeeper Minnie, such a long-distance and angled shot will most likely be blocked.
Gu Ran stood in front of the penalty spot, looked carefully at the position of the goal and the human wall, then took three steps back, took a deep breath, ran up and sprinted, and kicked the ball out!
The football was like an electromagnetically powered cannonball, shooting straight into the far corner of the goal! Mignolet was fully prepared and focused! Almost at the same time as Gu Ran kicked the ball, Mignolet had already predicted the trajectory of the arc ball and stretched out his arms to jump up at the same time -
After scoring the goal, Jaidi excitedly ran towards Gu Ran, slid to his knees at Gu Ran's feet, and hugged Gu Ran's thighs tightly! Jaidi had made a mistake in intercepting the ball with his head before, but this goal from Gu Ran completely saved him!
The score on the big screen at the Stadium of Light was immediately changed to Sunderland 3:4 Southampton! Southampton was leading!
The Southampton fans and Newcastle fans in the stands cheered wildly! For them, this was the most exciting moment! Now, the pressure was on Sunderland!
There was not much time left for Sunderland! And Sunderland's physical fitness was far inferior to Southampton's! Wanting to tie the score in a few minutes and then play overtime, just thinking about it gave Sunderland a headache.
The game continues.
Sunderland began to attack more frantically.
Head coach Steven Bruce's on-the-spot command seemed a bit impatient and chaotic, and this emotion was also passed on to Sunderland players.
Thanks to Henderson's efforts, Sunderland launched several consecutive threatening cross-field attacks.
But Welbeck's footwork was too rough. He either couldn't get the ball or lost it after dribbling.
The fourth official held up a sign and announced that there would be five minutes of injury time.
In the 92nd minute, Sunderland's frontcourt pass was intercepted by Mikel, who made a long pass to Gu Ran near the center circle.
Gu Ran knocked away Malbranque who was defending him and dribbled the ball straight into Sunderland's penalty area.
Cattermole slid in from behind and tackled Gu Ran fiercely on the heel. Gu Ran lost his balance and fell in the penalty area!
The Southampton and Newcastle fans at the scene booed angrily.
Cattermole also knew that he had made a big mistake, and he covered his head and waited for the referee's decision.
The referee showed Cattermole a second yellow card! Then awarded a penalty! Cattermole was sent off after two yellow cards turned into a red card!
The card-eating master is indeed worthy of his reputation!
Similarly, Bei Bujin is also worthy of his reputation! Southampton's team doctor Maifu rushed into the field to examine and bandage the injured Gu Ran.
Sunderland players wanted Gu Ran to leave the field for treatment, but Gu Ran said that he had to take the penalty kick himself, so he could not leave the field for treatment.
Southampton players took the opportunity to replenish their water.
The Sunderland players can only anxiously wait for the judgment of fate.
Theoretically speaking, Mignolet's penalty-saving technique is still very strong.
But the problem is that even if Mignolet could save the penalty, Sunderland would still be one goal behind Southampton.
Southampton is definitely trying their best to delay time at this time.
Delaying time is also a tactical system.
After Mai Fu bandaged the wound on Gu Ran's heel, Gu Ran drank a few sips of the electrolyte sweetroot water that Loina had prepared for him, and then stood up from the grass in high spirits.
The goddess of victory has opened her eyes... (End of this chapter)
