Gu Ran took the opportunity to bypass Rooney and continued to dribble the ball into Manchester United's penalty area! At this time, Carrick and Scholes were still in the process of returning to defense, and Manchester United's penalty area defense line was very empty!
Vidic and Rio Ferdinand came forward and closed the door to defend Gu Ran.
The two of them are very experienced in close defense. Not only can they slow down Gu Ran, but they can also compress Gu Ran's dribbling space, preventing Gu Ran from continuing to break through and pass the ball.
If Gu Ran wanted to bypass them, the surrounding Manchester United defenders would be able to quickly fill their positions, thus forming a new encirclement. And if Gu Ran wanted to confront them head-on, Vidic and Rio Ferdinand's bodies were not to be trifled with. At the very least, they could hold Gu Ran off for at least three to five seconds, and could greatly reduce the effectiveness of Gu Ran's passes or shots.
Facing these two world-class central defenders, Gu Ran was not afraid at all. He continued to accelerate and dribble the ball into the gap between the two people!
Vidic and Rio Ferdinand immediately prepared for the collision, but the next moment, Gu Ran stopped suddenly, stepped on the ball, and moved to the left!
Vidic quickly moved to the left to block the ball, while Rio Ferdinand stood still and watched the situation very skillfully.
There was a gap of more than half a meter between the two of them! Gu Ran lowered his shoulder like Matthews, shook off Vidic who had lost his position, and went straight into the gap between Vidic and Rio Ferdinand! Vidic panicked and quickly reached out to pull Gu Ran! But Gu Ran was so fast that he got in at lightning speed!
At this time, Rio Ferdinand calmly took a step across to block the ball, and at the same time, the goalkeeper Van der Sar attacked in a small area to block Gu Ran's forward path! The fans at the scene all held their breath!
This seemed to be a mistake in Manchester United's closed defense, allowing Gu Ran to break their closed defense, but in fact, it was a trap set by Rio Ferdinand for Gu Ran!
As soon as Rio Ferdinand blocked the position, Van der Sar followed and blocked, forming a more threatening closed defense. What was even more terrifying was that Vidic, who had just been shaken off by Gu Ran with Matthews's shoulder, also came from the side and back! What was even more terrifying was that Scholes and Carrick also came from behind to flank him!
Gu Ran, who was dribbling the ball, was almost completely surrounded by this five-man circle, with no room for breakthrough or passing! Just when all the Manchester United fans thought that this was all settled, Gu Ran did not hesitate at all, half turned around to protect the ball, and used his shoulder to confront Rio Ferdinand!
Rio Ferdinand tried his best to block it, and Van der Sar also rushed up and prepared to confiscate the ball under Gu Ran's feet with his hands! At this critical moment, Gu Ran turned around and shot! Van der Sar immediately blocked it with his body, and Rio Ferdinand also stretched out his foot to block the shooting channel!
But in the next moment, Gu Ran used his kick to pass the ball through the crotch!
The football quickly passed through Rio Ferdinand's outstretched hips and rolled towards the empty center of the penalty area!
Rio Ferdinand was stunned immediately!
Gu Ran attracted the attention of most of the Manchester United players, and then sent a cross! The newcomer Ward Prowse, who had just come on the field, was left unmarked!
Ward Prowse came in from the back row, and without even adjusting himself, he shot the ball towards the empty goal with a push shot that couldn't be simpler!
The football rolled towards the net at high speed!
Van der Sar desperately chased back to intercept, but there was no way to stop it! The ball went into the net!
The ball went in! The Manchester United fans in the stands were stunned, holding their heads in unison, unable to believe that their powerful Manchester United had been scored a fatal goal by an unknown young player who had just appeared on the field.
The Southampton fans were all suffocated - happiness came too suddenly for them!
They thought that there was no chance of scoring this goal due to Manchester United's desperate defense, and the game might have to go into overtime or a penalty shootout. However, Gu Ran attracted all of Manchester United's defensive energy and passed the ball to newcomer Ward Prowse with great trust!
Are we going to win the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup in the same season?
Now, just waiting for the referee's gesture!
At this moment, all eyes were on the referee!
The referee exchanged opinions with the linesman, then pointed to the center circle, indicating that Southampton's goal was valid!
The entire Southampton fans at Wembley Stadium went crazy!
Ward-Prowse, who was making his FA Cup debut, was so excited that he took off his shirt and rushed towards Gu Ran waving his shirt wildly to celebrate!
He would definitely get a yellow card for this celebration, but Ward Prowse didn't care! In his first FA Cup trip, he scored a crucial goal to overtake and reverse the situation. Although this goal did not have any technical content, even a dog in this position could have scored it, but the value of this goal is unquestionable! Football is like this, sometimes beautiful goals cannot determine the outcome of a game, and those goals that can determine the outcome of a game are not necessarily beautiful goals. Many are just ordinary goals that cannot be more ordinary! But a crucial goal, no matter how ordinary it is, is enough! The score on the big screen at Wembley Stadium was immediately rewritten as Manchester United 3:4 Southampton!
This is Manchester United falling behind again after quickly equalizing the score! And this time, falling behind will be fatal! Because now the injury time has exceeded the scheduled 7 minutes! The referee can blow the whistle to end the game at any time!
Southampton players rushed towards Gu Ran and Ward-Prowse like a human pyramid and celebrated wildly!
The Manchester United players all looked solemn and quickly took their positions, ready to kick off again to equalize the score.
Only if they tie the score again will Manchester United have a chance to play overtime with Southampton. Otherwise, Manchester United will hand over the FA Cup trophy to Southampton.
The referee blew the whistle, signaling Southampton not to waste time.
At the same time, the referee called Ward Prowse, who had just taken off his clothes to celebrate a goal, to his front and showed him a yellow card.
Ward Prowse happily accepted.
I scored the winning goal, so I was happy even if I got a yellow card.
The game continues!
The extra time has exceeded the scheduled time.
After Manchester United kicked off, they immediately launched a fierce attack.
Southampton still tried their best to retreat to their own penalty area and defend in a bus-style.
The injury time has exceeded 9 minutes, and it is almost 10 minutes. Coach Adkins points at his watch and angrily complains to the referee, protesting against "Ferguson time" to put pressure on the referee! ... (End of this chapter)
