Chapter 44

In the 50th minute of the game, Arsenal easily lost a goal, which was also a very bad signal for Arsenal.

Difoe received a long pass from the backcourt and headed the ball. Van der Fate stopped the ball in his chest and handed it to Bale who was inserted. The Arsenal defender was attracted by Van der Fate and had no time to return to defense, allowing Bale to score with the goalkeeper on his right foot at the penalty point; one-two, Bale broke through Fabianski's ten fingers and helped Tottenham Hotspur get a goal back.

Bale had almost no chance on the left in the first half, but his range of movement was larger in the second half, and he inserted diagonally from the left and right sides. It was the right time to follow up on the right to create the ball. Arsenal's overall defense had a loophole. At that time, Tottenham made a quick counterattack, Asu Ecoto made a long pass, and Arsenal only left two full-backs in the backcourt. Clichy and Defo failed to compete for the top, and Defoe topped the ball to Van der Fate. Although Sarnia caught up to assist in the defense, she still didn't have time to stop Van der Fate's pass to Bale.

Arsenal's premature conceding goal in the second half caused a huge change in mentality between the two teams. Arsenal began to relax, but at this time it began to put on the pressure of equalizing, while Tottenham Hotspur was confident of scoring another goal.

This is indeed the case. This game is really critical. No one wants to lose to a century-old mortal enemy in such a focus battle. Especially when Arsenal had a clear advantage in this game, they are even more unable to afford to lose at this time. They must withstand the pressure at this time.

Tottenham scored a goal, and they finally withstood the pressure at a huge disadvantage; they scored while Arsenal relaxed a little, and now Tottenham has grasped their own destiny and they will not lose in this crucial North London derby.

After that, Tottenham began to attack wildly, and Modric shot a little higher again from a long shot. Arsenal's tightly controlled midfield began to loosen. The midfield led by Fabregas became uneventful.

In the 56th minute, Difo tripped over the right side dribbler by Clichy, and the referee signaled that the attacking side was favorable. Modric's long-range shot with his right foot from 25 yards away would rise above the crossbar. In the 59th minute, Fabregas made a wonderful pass. Cabrer made a timely pass to destroy Al Shavin's single shot. In the 63rd minute, Nasri's corner kick was not cleared, and Fabregas knocked the ball back to Nasri again. Nasri's cross was headed by Xiao Qing.

In the 67th minute of the game, Alexander Song knocked down Modric, who was increasingly active at the front of the penalty area. Tottenham's free kick was taken by Van der Fate; facing this time, which was not very threatening. As a result, Al Shawen and Fabregas both raised their hands to block Van der Fate's free kick, and were morally ruthlessly awarded a penalty kick by the referee!

Van der Fate took the penalty kick personally, and Van der Fate shot steadily in the lower right corner of the goal, 2-2!

Arsenal, whose morale was strongly held the initiative in the first half, conceded two goals in a row in the first twenty minutes of the second half, and Arsenal's lead instantly disappeared, and they were equalized by Tottenham Hotspur. This was definitely a huge blow to Arsenal's morale.

After Van der Farge equalized the score, he made an unexpected celebration move. He provocatively rushed to the stands of Arsenal fans behind the goal, waving a finger at the same time, which probably meant to shut up the opponent's fans. The Dutchman's move reminds the provocative celebrations of Manchester City striker Adebayo after breaking through the Gunners' goal. He could not escape punishment for this and received a yellow card.

Arsenal fans watched Van der Fate carnival in front of them. They felt uncomfortable. Before the game, Gunners forward Van Persie revealed that he had recommended Van der Fate to Wengre, but unfortunately he was not adopted. Van Persie once said: "Van der Fate is a great player. I know how powerful he is. I hope he is a member of Arsenal. In fact, I have recommended it to the club many times, but the suggestion was not adopted." Now Arsenal can only watch Van der Fate score at the Emirates Stadium helplessly, and Arsenal was injured.

Van der Fate's arrival gave Tottenham the finishing touch. Now everyone can see Van der Fate's role in a team. Tottenham used to be just a good team. But now they have the top level. Perhaps Van der Fate is not the most important player and the most promising player of Tottenham, but he is definitely a player who has sublimated the team's strength. He is a core figure who can call the wind and rain in the Premier League.

Arsenal, who was equalized, were extremely frustrated, and Arsenal's head coach Wenger was also quite angry at this time; the 2-0 result in the first half made Wenger smile. Who would have thought that the situation suddenly changed when entering the second half, Arsenal lost two goals in a row and was equalized by his opponent. The three-pointer that he had already obtained instantly became one point. And Tottenham, who had completely played the momentum, was obviously more aggressive at this time. They would not waste such a good opportunity. After equalizing the score, Tottenham hoped to continue to work hard and stage a crazy big reversal at the Emirates Stadium.

The coach's mood changed with the score on the court. Wenger felt unfamiliar after being equalized. As time passed, the "professor" was no longer there, and he even seemed a little crazy. Wenger was called "professor" when he first came to the Premier League. This refers to his elegant demeanor, but in this game, the Frenchman disappeared at all. In fact, the Arsenal coach has long been used to going crazy on the sidelines like other coaches.

Spurs coach Redknapp Sr. once commented: "When Wenger first came to the Premier League, I remember reading articles saying that he acted like a professor on the sidelines, and all the other lunatics were jumping up and down there and shouting, but Wenger was different from them. He just sat there and observed everything on the field, like playing chess. At that time, Arsenal didn't lose much."

But Wenger has become one of the madmen now, and one of the biggest madmen! This is when you face the pressure. Now this has affected Wenger. He no longer sits quietly, and he quarreled with everyone there. In recent years, Wenger's temper has become increasingly fierce. He has quarreled with former Tottenham coach Yole and former West Ham coach Padu all quarreled on the sidelines, and even almost fought. The professor who used to "play chess" on the sidelines has disappeared, and replaced him with a man like today. In fact, the old Redknapp's sentence summarized a lot of things. When Wenger was like a professor, it was a period when Arsenal did not lose much. Now the team's performance is not ideal, so the French will naturally have more worries.

After Van der Fate equalized the score, Arsenal immediately substituted and Van Persie replaced Chamak. In the 71st minute, Koscheerney took Van Persie's free kick and headed the ball. Fabregas headed the ball to Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing headed the ball into the ball, but he and Fabregas were both in offside positions and the goal was invalid.

In the 73rd minute, Fabianski made a cross from Bale, but Van der Fate did not stop right foot and missed a golden opportunity. But Tottenham's offensive became more and more vigorous, and Arsenal escaped by luck, and they were almost overtaken by Tottenham.

Although Arsenal escaped by luck, the shocking scene just now made the Emirates Stadium sigh with lingering fear; at this time, Wenger was drinking casually with a bottle of water, and suddenly the professor got angry. He threw the water bottle to the ground with such a huge force that the bottle jumped three feet high behind the ground, and the water splashed all over the ground.

In the 76th minute, Gomez saved a curve ball in front of Fabregas' penalty area and shot; one minute later, Xiao Qing, who was pulling the side, found Kosselny, who was unmarked on the left post, but facing most of the empty goal, the French central defender actually topped the ball, and Arsenal missed another key opportunity to lead again.

Wenger was a little hysterical. He squatted on the sidelines. When he saw Arsenal's offense being blocked, he actually patted the grass with both hands, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and cried and shouted. Unfortunately, the Gunners were not good at it. Not only did they fail to score again at this time, they even lost three goals in the second half cleanly.

Tottenham's offensive became more and more vigorous, while Arsenal failed to make a long attack. Finally, in the 81st minute, he committed another heinous crime in defense.

Koscheerney violated Bale on the right and was warned by a yellow card, and Van der Fate had a free kick into the penalty area; Tottenham had only three points in the penalty area, Kabble's front point, Gala's middle point, Crouch, who came on the bench, crossed the back point, but the double-team of Faye and Van Persie failed to stop the opponent's central defender Kabble from grabbing the header, which was really the most amateur mistake in set-piece defense.

Cable scored his first goal of the season, which also represents Tottenham Hotspur's incredible crazy overtake in defending champion Arsenal in the second half!

Tottenham Hotspur is likely to break the nightmare of many years of unwinding against Arsenal. Now they are likely to end the curse of losing to Arsenal in 18 away games in 17 years. It must be said that Tottenham is indeed strong and worthy of a Champions League place. Under Lao Lei's planning, this team with both experience and talent will become an increasingly difficult opponent for Arsenal. Oh, no, it is bad news for all the giants.
