Hill, in order to fight against Arsenal's midfielder, Moyes sent five midfielders at a time, hoping that his midfielder could suppress Arsenal's home court. Through careful study of Arsenal, if Arsenal's midfielder
If it is not running smoothly, then Everton's opportunity will come. The only striker in this game is No. 8 Andy Johnson.
Arsenal still uses the 4-4-2 formation often used by Wenger, with goalkeeper No. 24 Almunia, No. 3 right back Sagna on the back line, No. 5 center back Toure, No. 10 center back Gallas, and No. 22 left
Defender Clichy, No. 2 Diaby, No. 4 Cesc Fabregas, No. 16 Flamini, No. 13 Hleb in the midfield, No. 9 Eduardo and No. 26 Bendtner in the forward line.
Arsenal drew 0-0 with Portsmouth in the last round, but the Red Devils lost to West Ham before this game. Arsenal is expected to overtake the points in the standings.
Wenger rotated the lineup for this campaign, Bendtner and Eduardo partnered up front, Denilson was suspended in the midfield and backfield, Gallas returned from injury, and Ebrahimovic did not play.[
Arsenal's lineup has changed a lot. The away game against Everton will definitely be difficult. The Gunners lost 0-1 at Goodison Park for two consecutive years. However, Wenger has replaced many main players in this campaign, including top scorer Adeba.
Yodu sat on the bench, Rosicky was also a substitute, Robin van Persie and Ebring were not included in the squad, the "League Cup combination" of Bendtner and Eduardo was corrected, and Diaby served as the left wing.
Wenger wanted to change his formation and catch his opponent off guard, using
In the 56th minute, Lescott's cross was cleared, and Johnson's long shot missed the left post.
In the 57th minute, Arsenal successfully reversed the situation. Bendtner passed the ball diagonally from the left and hit the back of Everton's defense. Eduardo stopped the ball and dunked, knocked down Jairka, and broke in with a single knife to face the attacking Howard and scored calmly.
,1-2, Eduardo scored twice to help Arsenal take the lead in the away game.
In the 65th minute, Eduardo almost copied the second goal, but he made a concealed hand stop in the penalty area before forming a single goal. He was caught by the referee and received a yellow card. Everton immediately followed.
On the counterattack, Cahill and Carsley hit the goal continuously, but they were either blocked by the defender or missed directly.
One goal behind, Moyes used Albert to switch to Hibbert in the 71st minute to strengthen the attack.
In the 73rd minute, Bendtner stepped on Carsley during the midfield scramble. The Danish forward received a second yellow card and was sent off. Arsenal had to fight with 10 men.
In the 75th minute, Pienaar made a pass from the right. Cahill and Carsley's header relay failed. Everton organized again, and Carsley's low shot from the outside was blocked by Almunia.
As Everton's offense ended, Wenger also made adjustments to his team, and No. 9 Eduardo was replaced by No. 25 Adebayor.
In the 78th minute, Arsenal unexpectedly took a two-goal lead. Almunia made a long pass and Yabo protected the ball to Howard. However, the American was careless and Adebayor, who was inserted from behind, stole the ball from his feet.
The brother almost put the ball into the empty goal, 1-3. Just 3 minutes into the game, Adebayor was lucky enough to score.
Arsenal's three goals are so familiar. Clichy sent long passes twice, with similar landing points and similar intentions. Both times allowed Eduardo to use his speed and personal skills to directly single out the Everton back line and find Yabo.
In the vacuum zone of Jairka's defensive chain, he succeeded both times. Does it look familiar? Bolton has used this trick to deal with Arsenal and has tried it many times. Last season at Goodison Park, Beattie's goal into Lehmann's goal was also the same.
Unexpectedly, retribution would come so quickly now. Wenger is copying his opponent's successful tactics to deal with the enemy.
The third goal was even more outrageous. Almunia made a long pass directly into the penalty area to find Adebayor. The stunned Everton defense made another stupid mistake. Yabo was not well protected. Howard was half a beat too late to attack.
Adebayor stepped in from behind to steal the ball and went straight into the empty goal.
In the 82nd minute, Flamini had an argument with Kalsi in the midfield. The two exchanged curses and one of them took the initiative to apply for a yellow card.
In the 83rd minute, Arteta elbowed Cesc Fabregas during a counterattack in the frontcourt. The latter fell to the ground in pain. The referee directly showed the Everton midfielder a red card and sent him off. Players from both teams almost had a fight over this.
In the fight, one of the two Spaniards was radical and the other had a talent for acting. In the end, it was the Everton team that suffered.
In the 89th minute, Pienaar made a corner kick and Lescott's header went wide, wasting Everton's last chance to score.
Rosicky replaced Cesc Fabregas at this time.
In the 93rd minute, Adebayor made a cross pass from the left baseline. Diarra knocked back Rosicky. The Czech took a low shot from the penalty area and scored from the near corner. 1-4, Arsenal won the away game.
Arsenal bid farewell to their previous three away wins in the "Bolton way" and completed their second conquest of Goodison Park in the Premier League in six years. In fact, such a change is not surprising. Arsenal was 12 at the beginning of the season.
During the winning streak, Wenger once pointed out: "We are no longer afraid of the opponent's pressing and head-on confrontation." The introduction of Adebayor, Bendtner and other senior players has also enriched the team's offensive style and strengthened the air defense coefficient. Day by day
A perfect Arsenal, at least in terms of hardware, has the conditions to compete with the other three powers for long-term supremacy.
Everton was a little unlucky. After losing Li Yu, they were defeated by direct competitors in the standings.
