Quinn, who was sent off, did not return to the locker room.
Since he was not qualified to sit on the bench, he chose to stand at the players' corridor and continue to pay attention to the game on the court.
At that time, the TV broadcast even gave him a special shot, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about the impact of his red card on the team.
He punched the tunnel wall angrily when he saw Alan Woodiwiss get past Dixon, burst into the penalty area from the wing and then score.
Because of his impulsiveness, he eventually caused the team to concede a goal...
If he had not been sent off, the side he was guarding would not have become a breakthrough point for Woody Weiss, and naturally there would be no conceding of the ball later.
Now we have one less person, and there is only one ball left to be chased by the opponent...
How will this game develop?
Quinn didn’t dare to think any further.
Originally, a two-goal lead was a good situation. Leeds City had a great chance of defeating North London Wanderers, who were third in the league, at home.
Now they are all ruined by themselves!

As the North London Wanderers players were celebrating, Leeds City manager Tony Clark quickly walked to the sidelines and shouted to his players who were upset about conceding the ball: "Don't shrink! Don't think about not being able to keep conceding the ball."
It’s such a thing! Attack it when it’s time to attack it!”
Pete Williams, who has already put on the captain's armband, is also slapping his hands to encourage his teammates: "Don't panic! We are still one goal ahead!"
Sky Sports commentator Cox joked: "Tony Clark is right, a one-goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world, and a two-goal lead is not safe. Look, no, Leeds City will win in an instant.
We went from a two-goal lead to a one-goal lead!"
"To be honest, Leeds City's offense under Clark's coaching is indeed more threatening and they play more passionately. But even the efficiency of conceding goals is too high... I think even if Leeds City succeeds in staying in the Premier League, they will not be able to win in the new season.
We should improve our defensive performance... We can't always expect to score more goals than our opponents. How can such good things come so easily?"
※※※
North London Wanderers' celebration did not last long. After all, they were still one goal behind and they had to win this game if they wanted to retain their qualification for the Champions League.
This means they have to score two more goals.
After the game restarted, they took advantage of the momentum of the goal they had just scored and launched a fierce attack on Leeds City's goal.
The attitude is to keep up the good work and equalize the score in a short time.
Many Leeds City fans became nervous after watching this.
This is football. When you have the advantage, you feel that the whole world is not your opponent. When you play against the wind, you feel that the whole world is against you.
Leeds City fans don’t even think about avoiding relegation two rounds in advance, as long as they can not lose to North London Wanderers at home.
Those fan organizations in the North Stand have no time to worry about competing with the club's top management at this time.
Their emotions follow the rhythm of the game, sometimes excited, sometimes frightened, sometimes nervous, sometimes irritable...
“FUCK!! Menaye pushed our player, this should have been a free kick!” David Miller yelled in the North Stand, pointing to the pitch just below him.
Beside him, other "White Rose" fans scolded him even more harshly.
After the two sides changed places to play again in the second half, the North London Wanderers penalty area was right next to the North Stand. They could see every Leeds City attack at close range, and they could also use their voices to influence the players who interfered with the North London Wanderers.
Somewhat ironically, their shouting seemed to affect Sean Barnett's performance.
Not long ago, he missed a shot.
This is actually a good opportunity. Sean only needs to stop the football and shoot again, and his chances will be much greater. As a result, he shot without stopping the ball, and under the defensive interference of the Leeds City defender, he directly hit the anti-aircraft gun.
Oman, the head coach of the Rangers on the sidelines, frowned slightly after seeing this.
"No, Joseph." On the sidelines in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Orman was shaking his head at assistant coach Olson, "Barnett's situation is not right, he is too impatient."
"I can see it, Ludwig. I suggest replacing him. He has wasted several opportunities for us... When we counterattacked, it was really demoralizing for him to squander the opportunity like this."
Auman thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Although he didn’t want to overturn his pre-game arrangements, it was obvious that his arrangements had failed. He was good at leveraging others’ strength and made the wrong calculation this time...
I don’t know why, but Sean Barnett, who was in good form before the game, got worse and worse after he came on the field.
Could it be that I made a mistake this time?
Is it because he wanted to show off in front of his hometown elders too much, which resulted in him being eager for success and unable to show off?
Oman turned his attention to Sean on the court. He was running very actively and was trying to catch up.
If he were not a forward, but a midfielder, just looking at his game attitude, he would be really good.
But no matter how hard you work and waste opportunities, you won’t be able to score a goal...
※※※
Although Sean wasted several opportunities, in general, the Rangers' offense was indeed more threatening and was infinitely close to scoring.
The Leeds City fans in the stands could only use boos and yells to disturb the Rangers players.
Beyond that, they can't do much more.
“I won’t lose the ball again...” Levine, who was worried about the team’s future in the North Stand, muttered to himself.
“Shut up!” yelled John next to him, “just watch the game!”
David Miller glanced at his son beside him and noticed that little Matthew was so nervous that his body was shaking slightly, so he snorted: "Relax, son. You are going to become a professional player, your mental quality is too poor
It won’t work.”
After Matthew heard his father's ridicule, his body no longer trembled, but he retorted: "That's better than your indifference, Dad."
“I have a normal heart. No matter whether I win or lose, I always keep a normal heart. Anyway, things like leading by two goals and then being tied by others have happened to Leeds City this season..."
Before he finished speaking, David Miller suddenly pointed at the court and yelled: "Fuck you Rangers, you still want to foul our people?! Go to hell!!"
Little Matthew stood nearby and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

On the court, Pete Williams made a deft turn to avoid Waterfield's collision with him. Then he took the lead and looked up to observe the situation ahead.
The first thing he looked for was Hu Lai, who was running from the center to the right rib of the penalty area.
There is an opening there.
But Rangers center back Battersby is also following him. In addition, Rangers full-back Kyle Hawkins is also moving closer to that place. The two plan to flank Hulay. After Hulay scored twice,
His danger level among the Rangers center backs has also skyrocketed.
At the same time, because after Lorenzo came off the field, Hulay played as a lone forward, and there was no one else to help him share the defensive pressure. He naturally became the focus of the Rangers defenders.
Logically speaking, it is best not to pass the football to Hulay in this situation, but Williams thought of the conversation between Hulay and him during the halftime break, and he decided to take the risk.
It was really an empty space after all!
So he sent a through ball from a distance of more than fifteen meters and accurately found Hu Lai!
Hu Lai in the penalty area sideways passed the football and blocked Battersby behind him. Although Battersby was stronger, now that he was in the penalty area, he did not dare to use too much force. His body was pushing up, but he still
You have to raise your hands to indicate to the referee that your hands are not moving.
If Hu Lai falls in the penalty area later, you have to be aware of it...
At the same time, Hawkins continued to pounce on Hulay, intending to attack Battersby from both front and back.
They will soon complete the encirclement of Hu Lai...
In that case, the best result of Leeds City's attack is nothing more than Hulay passing the football laterally to the wing, then passing the ball from the wing and then hitting it back to the center.
But at this moment, Hu Lai, who had passed the football, suddenly turned around and shot with his feet!
At an unfavorable angle and in a bad position, he actually shot directly!
Battersby's attention was still concentrated. When he saw Hu Lai turning around, he quickly stretched out his feet to block it.
Then he felt the football hit his calf. After rubbing it for a while, he got over!
He left nothing behind except the heat caused by friction...
On the contrary, there was a small fold line after the football passed his calf. Instead of flying directly to the goal, it hit the turf of the small penalty area downwards and then bounced upwards!
Just passed over the arm of goalkeeper Lame, and jumped into... the goal!
※※※
Hu Lai, who turned around to increase the power of his shot, lost all balance after finishing the shot, turned his body in a circle and then lay on the turf in the penalty area.
His eyes are fixed on the football.
When he saw the football crossing the arms of North London Rangers goalkeeper Lame like a hurdle and flying into the goal, he hit the turf hard, jumped up from the ground, and ran towards the corner flag area under the north stand!
Amidst the huge cheers at the scene, he jumped high for the third time in this game, crossed his arms in front of his chest in the air, and then turned 180 degrees. With the powerful movement of his arms,
It landed firmly on the turf.
At the same time, a loud roar came from the North Stand: "HUUUUUU!!!"
As he landed, the sound echoed over the court.
It’s like a god descending from the sky and making a huge roar when it hits the ground with flames!
