super all-rounder

Chapter 245 A powerful volley!
The criticism from Manchester City's media made Chen Fan understand a truth - the players and the media are born "enemies".

Since it is the enemy, there is no need to take the enemy's words to heart.

Chen Fan returned to training, and Wenger carefully guided him to make him a top striker.

So Chen Fan once again entered the Ajax mode - training after training, training in the virtual space at night.

His abilities are soaring by leaps and bounds!
On September [-]th, the Premier League ushered in the fifth round. Chelsea, who ranked second in the standings only with a goal difference disadvantage, took the lead. They defeated Stoke City [-]-[-] away and won five consecutive victories, surpassing Arsenal to rank first!

There are two focus battles in this round, one is Manchester United's away game against Tottenham, and the other is the Premier League upstart Manchester City's home game against Arsenal.

Manchester United, who lost to Arsenal in the last game, although two main players were punished, did not affect their strength at all. They defeated Tottenham cleanly and [-]-[-] in the away game, and let out a sigh of relief.

The Manchester City media chanted: "The invincible Manchester United team is back!"

They also encouraged Manchester City: "Defeat Arsenal, defend the glory of Manchester City, and pull them off the top position!"

At [-]:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, the match between Manchester City and Arsenal officially started at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City, which took the lead in serving, began to attack tentatively.

Carlos Tevez, who defected from Manchester United, took the lead. In the 3rd minute of the first half, the Argentine striker took the ball in front of the penalty area and shot it wide of the goal!

Three minutes later, Arsenal returned the favor. Chen Fan and Van Persie made a beautiful cross pass from the left side of the opponent's penalty area.
In the following time, the two sides accelerated the speed of the offensive and defensive conversion, and a confrontational battle was shown to the world!
One is a home game, and the other is a four-game winning streak. The two teams are evenly matched in terms of momentum.

The impact of Gallas' absence on Arsenal gradually emerged. No. 15 minutes in the first half, Manchester City midfielder Sean Wright-Phillips tore open on the left and crossed the center.

Tevez, who was ambushing in the penalty area, got rid of Sagna's defense with super explosive power, and directly pushed and shot, the football flew towards the near corner like a sharp arrow!

Although Almunia has made the fastest reaction, the Argentine's shot angle is too tricky, and the football hits the net!

The ball is in!
The score became one to zero, Manchester City at home broke the deadlock and led by one goal!
Bill, the commentator of Sky Sports, said loudly: "Compared with Chelsea and Manchester United, Arsenal's bench depth does have a certain gap. Gallas is suspended, and Philippe Senderos replaces him in the starting lineup. He simply cannot withstand the repeated impact of Manchester City."

The score fell behind, and Arsenal strengthened their attack. In the 18th minute of the first half, Chen Fan made a breakthrough from the left and crossed the middle. Van Persie turned his back to the opponent's goal and knocked back directly.
The football roared and went straight to the dead end!

Manchester City goalkeeper Ji Wen jumped up, lightly pushed his right hand under the football, and the football flew out of the baseline against the crossbar!

Arsenal once again missed a chance to score.

Five minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback. Rigobert Song made a diagonal pass in the opponent's hinterland. Chen Fan pulled the ball and turned around to get rid of the defense of the opponent's defender. He shot a cold arrow and the football flew towards the right side of the goal.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ji Wen was in excellent condition tonight, miraculously blocking the football from the bottom line with his left foot!
The cable commentator in Manchester said loudly: "Given is an impregnable wall, he blocked Arsenal's three must-go goals!"

In the 301st minute of the first half, Philippe Senderos, who replaced Gallas, made another mistake. Rigobert Song returned a pass. After he stopped the ball, the football was two meters away from him!
Tevez, who has a keen sense of smell, would never let go of such an opportunity. He took two steps forward to control the football under his feet, and then he shot into the penalty area with a strong shot!
The football flies past Almunia's fingertips!
The ball is in!
Two to zero!
The Argentine scored twice and Manchester City led by two goals!
The Manchester Cable commentator said excitedly: "In the last game, Manchester United went on the offensive, but missed opportunities again and again. At that time, the god of luck was on the side of Arsenal. Tonight, the situation is reversed, and the god of luck is on the side of Manchester City!"

The furious Wenger immediately made personnel adjustments, replacing Philippe Senderos and replacing him with Mikael Sylvester.

The local reporter off the field was elated: "I see how Arsenal can come back to life tonight!"

The London reporter looked serious. Arsenal were two goals behind and the situation was grim.

Manchester City goalkeeper Given proved himself in the rest of the first half. He was an iron wall in front of Manchester City's goal, blocking Arsenal's shots time and time again.

In the end, Manchester City entered the second half with a two-goal advantage.

After the start of the second half, Arsenal continued their onslaught. In the first minute, Chen Fan and Cesc Fabregas played a wonderful cross from the left.

Chen Fan took the football to the opponent's penalty area, and before Jolyon Lescott's defense was in place, he crossed and Van Persie pushed and shot!
Ji Wen continued his bravery in the first half, leaping to save the football to the bottom line!

The Arsenal players were full of helplessness. Shay was amazing tonight. He blocked at least four of Arsenal's must-go goals.

Three minutes later, Manchester City returned the favor. Sean Wright-Phillips took a long shot from outside the penalty area. The football spun strongly in the air and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal!
There was panic in the eyes of the Arsenal fans who came from afar. If this goal is scored again, Arsenal will have no hope at all...

At the moment of crisis, Almunia stepped forward. With a leap, his left hand stretched to the extreme lightly pushed under the football, and the football flew to the bottom line against the crossbar!

The morale of the Arsenal players has been greatly boosted, as the saying goes, there will be blessings if you survive a catastrophe!
In the 205th minute of the second half, a scene that made Arsenal fans excited appeared. Ebrahimovic launched a long pass from the backcourt to counterattack. Robin van Persie headed the ball in the center of Manchester City. Chen Fan got rid of the defenders around him like lightning, stepped forward and raised his chest to unload the football.

During the fast running, without waiting for the football to land, Chen Fan used his thigh to make the football fly again, and then raised his right leg!
"Snapped!……"

Chen Fan kicked the football hard with his right ankle, and the football roared towards the right side of the goal like a cannonball!

This is a powerful and heavy cannon, and the football passes through the magic Shay's fingertips!

Soccer hits the net!

The ball is in!
The score became two to one, and Arsenal narrowed the point difference!
