One to zero!
Southampton took the lead over Crystal Palace, and the goal was scored by their knife-wielding defender Lovren.
Lovren scored against Liverpool in the last round, and he scored again in this game, which is really impressive.
Campbell and others turned to look at Tong Yi, their eyes full of admiration!
Tong Yi reminded them many times to pay attention to Lovren. Before the game, they felt that they had done something wrong. Now it seems that Tong Yi is really prescient.
Tong Yi is awesome!
The Southampton players in the stadium were very excited and rushed over to celebrate with Lovren.
Pochettino on the sidelines was also very excited. He jumped up and waved excitedly. .??.
Then he looked at Tong Yi, the provocation in his eyes undisguised.
Do you see, I am not some bullshit little Tong Yi, I am Pochettino. And you, Tong Yi, are little Pochettino!
come on!
Pochettino shouted loudly into the stadium, reminding the Southampton players to continue attacking and strive to score another goal to completely win the Crystal Palace team.
After the game restarted, Southampton, which was gaining momentum, indeed launched a ferocious attack.
Their offensive ability is really strong, leaving Crystal Palace tired of defending. Their two full-backs on the wing also frequently assist and make frequent passes to find Lambert in the middle of the penalty area.
Sure enough, Lambert is the core of their offense.
Of course, I don’t know if Lambert is not in good condition today, or if Crystal Palace’s defensive players are too strong. Anyway, Lambert got a lot of opportunities, but he didn’t have many threatening goals. More often
, football was saved by Van Dijk and Laporte.
This surprised many media reporters. Van Dijk and Laporte are really good. Have they grown up? You have to know that they are facing the newly promoted England international center. These two
It's amazing that the young man can take advantage of Lambert.
At this time, Southampton immediately changed its offensive routine.
They no longer made frequent crosses from the wing, but Lallana in the midfield began to show off his power, frequently creating opportunities and accurately diagonal passes to Davis and Osvaldo from the wing.
Lambert has now become a cover for Southampton's offense.
Let Lambert attract the defense, and then create space and opportunities for Davis and Osvaldo who move in behind.
No wonder Pochettino did not put Osvaldo on the defensive line, but as a winger.
During this period, Osvaldo did get a lot of opportunities, and his shots were very threatening, making Edward very confused.
The Southampton fans were also very excited.
They have the top team in the league at their fingertips, and Southampton are too good.
We will win this game!
It is a pity that Crystal Palace's defense is indeed too strong. Before the end of the first half, Southamptonians did not score a second goal to expand the score.
At the end of the first half, Southampton, playing at home, led Crystal Palace 1-0.
This makes Southamptonians very happy and excited.
Because judging from the progress of this game, their victory over Crystal Palace is certain.
Southampton's offensive ability is really too strong, and the Crystal Palace people have nothing to do. If they continue to play like this in the second half of the game, they will definitely score again and win the game completely.
During the halftime break, Pochettino frequently reminded his players not to take it lightly. This Crystal Palace team is still very strong. Don’t give the opponent any opportunities to take advantage of it!
The Southampton players saw that Pochettino was very serious, and they all said seriously that they would not underestimate their opponents.
After the start of the second half, Southampton continued to attack Crystal Palace's goal frantically as they did before the end of the first half.
Obviously, Southamptonians really want to score goals.
And the effect is still very obvious. They created a lot of opportunities and are getting closer and closer to breaking through the Crystal Palace goal. The Southampton fans at the scene were very excited and sang happily. In this game, they
Definitely a win.
Tong Yi, on the other hand, was very calm and looked at the stadium calmly, as if they were leading the team, Crystal Palace.
But at this moment, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Osvaldo saw Lambert's skill with the ball, and he was ready to take a violent long shot.
Unexpectedly, he just came to the ball and before he could swing his legs, the ball was scooped out by Kanter who rushed up.
The football quickly rolled to Paulinho's feet.
In the frontcourt, Salah, Lukaku and Mane suddenly rushed towards Southampton's penalty area like three sharp arrows. Southampton's defensive players were a little flustered and a little shocked.
Because there were not many defensive players left in the backcourt, they all attacked.
Especially the two full-backs, who have not returned yet, and have even reached the bottom line of Crystal Palace.
Danger!
Southampton's goal is in danger.
Glancing at the frontcourt, Paulinho made a direct pass and quickly passed the football to Pogba who was advancing forward.
Pogba caught the football easily because the defensive players of the square team did not dare to save it.
Their three defensive players Lovren, Vanyama and Feng
They went to defend Crystal Palace's three forwards. So they didn't dare to pounce on Pogba rashly, which gave Pogba a chance.
Pogba took the ball and went directly to the front of Southampton's penalty area.
At this time, Vanyama can no longer retreat. If he retreats further, Pogba will take a long shot.
Pogba has an outstanding long-range shooting ability. Vanyama did not dare to let him go. He rushed directly to intercept Pogba. At the same time, when he rushed up, he tried his best to block Pogba with his body.
Gba passed directly behind him and passed the ball to Lukaku.
Unexpectedly, Pogba suddenly took a pass, and the football quickly flew over Vanyama's head and towards Lukaku behind him. ??
Southampton fans were shocked.
Seeing the danger, Lovren did not dare to continue to defend Mane. He had to turn quickly and pounce on Lukaku in the middle, preventing Lukaku from stopping the ball comfortably to shoot.
Seeing Lovren rushing towards him, Lukaku immediately jumped up, flicked his head and passed the football to Mane behind Lovren.
Southampton fans screamed in horror.
But Lovren was not afraid at all, everything was within his expectation.
He originally pretended to rush toward Lukaku, inducing Lukaku to ferry the football to Mane behind him. Therefore, his momentum was not strong, and he could quickly stop and turn around, pounce on Mane again, and cross the horse.
Nei's body didn't give Mane any chance.
Nice defense!
The Southampton fans at the scene immediately gave Lovren excited applause. Lovren is a guy with a very high football intelligence and is very good. Southampton fans really love Lovren to death.
However, what horrified Lovren and Southamptonians was that Mane seemed to have expected it.
Just when Lovren turned around and rushed over, Mane crossed the football again. The football quickly rolled past Lovren and directly in front of Lukaku in the space.
At this time, Vanyama was not in a hurry to return to Lukaku's side.
The unguarded Lukaku faced goalkeeper Boruc and scored a single goal!
Lukaku did not stop the ball and directly fired into the far corner of the goal.
The football rolled quickly. Boruc, who was 193cm tall, was a little slow when he got off the ground, so he didn't touch the football at all. The football rolled straight into the far lower corner.
One to one!
Crystal Palace equalized the score and it was Lukaku who scored!
Lukaku directly crossed his hands and lowered them in front of his eyes, turning into a glasses man and running around the stadium.
The Southampton fans looked horrified and in disbelief.
Pochettino on the sidelines also took a deep breath and immediately turned to look at Tong Yi.
Damn this guy, he is really too scheming, he actually took advantage of his plan.
Attract them out and then seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Awesome, Tong Yi!
Sure enough, this guy Tong Yi has more than one set of high-position pressing tactics.
What's more important is that this guy Tong Yi is very insidious and cunning, so I still underestimated him.
Pochettino regrets a little, regrets that he underestimated Tong Yi, and regrets that he was dazzled by the goal. It seems that he is still a little young and still needs experience.
He turned to look at Tong Yi, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
We at Southampton will not lose in this game.
After the game restarted, Southamptonians attacked frantically.
After all, they were equalized and robbed of three points. The Southamptonians couldn't accept it. They immediately attacked crazily and besieged the Crystal Palace goal. They still wanted to score.
At this time, Southampton's sophisticated routine changed again. They began to pass frequently from the wing again, directly looking for Lambert in the penalty area. To be honest, the effect was not very ideal. Laporte and Van Dijk
The two of them look very young, but they really have advantages in air defense.
These two young men have very good physical fitness and functions, surpassing Lambert in terms of jumping and speed. What's more important is their height.
It's also better than Lambert, who doesn't have any advantage.
In addition, these two people are very accurate in judging the landing point of high-altitude balls. Under their defense, even England international Lambert did not gain much benefit.
The fans and media reporters at the scene were all shocked, watching the performance of these two young central defenders, completely torturing Lambert.
I wonder if Lambert will be psychologically affected by the abuse.
However, Lambert also managed to get two good opportunities, and his headers were full of threats. Unfortunately, he was a little unlucky, and the ball was saved directly by Edouard.
Lambert felt very sorry.
He didn't get many chances originally. It's a pity that he didn't score in these two good chances.
At this moment, Crystal Palace launched a counterattack again.
Southamptonians are desperate.
Zhang Linpeng on the wing suddenly moved in to defend, directly cutting off the football from Lallana's feet. Then he directly passed the ball to the advancing Mane. Southampton players raised their hands to indicate that Mane was offside.
But neither the referee nor the linesman said it was a good goal.
Zhang Linpeng's long pass was also very accurate. Mane easily unloaded the ball into the penalty area and faced Poland's national goalkeeper Boruc.
Mane faked a shot and actually dunked, directly passed Boruc, sent the football into the empty goal, and turned this large single-handed ball into a goal.
At 2-1, Crystal Palace reversed course and beat Southampton, earning three points with difficulty.
