At the end of the half, Crystal Palace overtook the away team 2-1 and took the lead.
The Arsenal fans at home were silent.
This half of the game gave them hope, but also made them feel despair.
The strength of Crystal Palace is indeed very strong. Not only did they take the lead, they also suppressed Crystal Palace for a time and firmly took the game into their own hands. However, as soon as Crystal Palace exerted its strength, the game turned towards
Their Arsenal went in a bad direction.
Arsenal fans felt in danger at this time.
Because the Crystal Palace people performed so well in the second half of the first half and gradually took control of the situation. If Arsenal did not adjust well during the halftime break, Arsenal would probably lose again in this game.
ah.
Of course, at this time, they couldn't help but think of Mustafi's performance in the first half.
If it weren't for Mustafi's defensive problems, Arsenal would not have conceded a goal in this game.
To be honest, there are many times when Arsenal fans watching Mustafi play have the urge to rush into the stadium and strangle Mustafi to death.
It's really infuriating to watch this guy play football.
Mustafi made some low-level mistakes in this game, which even resulted in conceding a goal.
I hope this guy won't have such problems again in the second half of the game.
As long as there are no problems with our own defense, we at Arsenal still have a chance.
Arsenal fans are still looking forward to this game. They hope that the team can perform well in the second half and take the lead again.
I wonder if Wenger can adjust the team well during the halftime break?
Of course, the Crystal Palace fans were very excited and happy at this time.
Crystal Palace fans feel that Crystal Palace should definitely win this game, because Arsenal is really not good.
Originally conceding a goal at the start, they thought Arsenal would be fine again.
As a result, they fell behind again at half-time, and it seemed that Arsenal were just getting better.
Crystal Palace must win this game.
They believe in Tong Yi and the players of Crystal Palace.
Soon the players from both sides returned to the court and started the second half of the game.
Crystal Palace currently leads 2-1 and has the advantage.
At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal launched a ferocious attack. It was obvious that Arsenal still wanted to make another charge. They wanted to win this game.
Midfielder Wilshere's breakthrough with the ball attracted the attention of the defense, and then he quickly passed the football to the feet of Lacazette who was advancing forward with a diagonal pass. Lacazette added the ball and cut inside, which was actually a
The foot sweep swept the football to Aubameyang's side, and Aubameyang immediately volleyed with his leg.
With a bang, the football shot out on the spot and flew into Maignan's arms!
Shot so right!
Seeing this, Arsenal fans sighed, wrong What a missed opportunity.
The Crystal Palace side immediately launched a quick counterattack. Goalkeeper Maignan did not rush out with the ball, but directly kicked the ball out and towards the frontcourt.
The football flew quickly towards the front of Arsenal's penalty area!
At this time, Mustafi quickly went around and directly stuck Ronaldo behind him, then looked up at the falling football and judged the landing point of the football.
Seeing this ball, Mustafi is full of confidence!
This time his judgment of the landing point was absolutely accurate, the ball must be controlled by me!
Mustafi, who accurately judged the landing point and looked up at the football, immediately took a step back and prepared to jump to make a clearance.
At this moment, Ronaldo, who was behind him, suddenly pushed his shoulder forward hard, hitting Mustafi's back directly. The unprepared Mustafi was knocked two steps away in an instant.
.
The football fell down at this moment and directly caught up to Ronaldo's feet.
c. Ronaldo immediately turned around and quickly stretched his legs to poke the football forward. The football quickly rolled towards Arsenal's penalty area.
Single-handedly, Ronaldo went solo!
Mustafi, who was taken two steps forward, immediately opened his arms and shouted, indicating to the referee Ronaldo that it was a foul!
The referee Kavanagh showed no sign of peace at all!
The Arsenal fans at the scene were all dumbfounded. Ronaldo gave you a slight slap from behind, and your body jumped forward two or three steps, and then you were two or three meters away from Ronaldo?
You are too bad!
Is your strength so weak?
Forget about the lack of strength. If you don't chase the ball immediately, why would you stop and spread your hands?
It’s a one-man attack, C. Ronaldo’s a one-man game!
The Arsenal fans were dumbfounded. Jane couldn't believe her eyes. Mustafi's defense really made them want to rush into the stadium and beat up Mustafi!
You, Mustafi, are not as motivated as Koscielny and Bellerin. Both of them chased back quickly, and their speed was very fast. In an instant, they rushed past Mustafi like two bolts of lightning.
Go over and chase Ronaldo.
They didn't give up!
But it's too late!
When they caught up with C. Ronaldo and came to C. Ronaldo's side, they saw Cech attacking. Ronaldo stretched his legs like lightning and directly picked up the rebounding football. The football quickly passed over the rushing C.
It hit the top of He's head, and then fell quickly, falling into the Arsenal goal without any suspense.
The ball went in!
The Crystal Palace fans who came from afar were very excited and danced excitedly, doing the Poznań dance steps.
Looking from afar
The visiting Crystal Palace fans turned their backs to the court and jumped up and down in the stands, twisting their butts and waving towels in humiliating gestures. The Arsenal fans at home were so angry and furious that they almost rushed to the visiting team's stands to fight with the Crystal Palace fans.
.
Of course the culprit is Mustafi!
Wenger on the sidelines didn't know what to say when he saw this. To be honest, this goal should not be a threat to him. Mustafi should be able to easily control the football, make clearances or launch attacks.
.
This turned out to be a lost ball, and he was really speechless.
Mustafi even got furious inside the stadium, swinging his arms fiercely.
At the same time, he also questioned the referee. He believed that the Portuguese was not only suspected of fouling the ball, but also suspected of being offside. The ball should not be counted at all!
However, the referee Kavanagh clearly saw that the Portuguese had a reasonable collision and there was no foul at all. ??
Moreover, Ronaldo's movements were small in range and light in strength. It was not a dangerous move at all, and naturally there was no foul.
The linesman was also very firm and believed that the ball was not offside. Because Arsenal's right back Bellerin was delayed at the end, there was no problem with the Portuguese's position at all.
Mustafi was very angry and thought the ball was a foul.
But the reality is that Crystal Palace people have begun to celebrate the goal rate like crazy.
Three to one, Crystal Palace expanded its lead.
Seeing this, Arsenal captain Koscielny didn't know what to say.
This goal is indeed Mustafi's problem.
How could he be pushed away so easily, and why didn't he immediately turn around and chase after he lost his position?
He really has nothing to say about his partner, if only Mertesacker was still here.
Wenger on the sidelines was silent.
As the game continued, Arsenal naturally stepped up their offense. Their goal was still victory. The loss of the ball at this time did not affect them. The goldfish eye in the middle immediately passed the football back to Mustafi who was following him.
The main thing is that Mustafi accurately sends the football to the feet of Wilshere who is advancing from the wing, and Wilshere can directly cross the ball to threaten the Crystal Palace goal.
And Aubameyang in the middle is already in place, this is a good opportunity!
But at this moment, Mustafi actually passed the football across the sideline with a diagonal pass without any interference or pressure.
Arsenal players and fans were dumbfounded, and even Wilshere kept waving his hands, expressing his helplessness.
To be honest, Wilshere is really helpless.
Mustafi also realized that the goal was his fault, and he immediately raised his hands to apologize.
Yes, he raised his hand again!
Sure enough, Mustafi is worthy of being the creator of the essence of human beings spreading their hands and raising their hands. The frequency of raising their hands is also Too high.
Arsenal fans couldn't help it at this time and immediately booed Mustafi.
Koscielny comforted Mustafi and encouraged Mustafi!
Because they all know that Mustafi is currently Arsenal's best central defender, and there is simply no one who can replace him.
Crystal Palace quickly threw the ball out and immediately launched an attack.
After three consecutive passes, the football rolled to De Bruyne's feet. De Bruyne immediately controlled the ball and moved forward. Mustafi stepped forward at this time, preparing to defend De Bruyne.
At this moment, De Bruyne saw Mbappe coming up diagonally from the wing. De Bruyne immediately made a diagonal pass and quickly passed the football to Mbappe, who quickly cut inside and entered the penalty area.
!
Mustafi rushed out and spotted De Bruyne's passing route. He was full of confidence. He felt that he could 100% destroy the football. So he did not hesitate and rushed out with a sliding shovel.
He swung the football hard towards the football that was rolling towards him.
Mustafi's biggest characteristic is that he is very accurate and decisive in judging the timing of his attack.
So, it was the same this time, he was very decisive.
Without hesitation, he slid and swung his leg towards the football, and then the football quickly rolled past his turning right foot and directly towards Mbappe in the space!
To be honest, Mbappe was shaken a bit when he saw Mustafi's actions and almost stopped the football.
Because he thought that the ball would not pass and would be destroyed by Mustafi, he was not even ready to catch the ball.
Unexpectedly, the ball missed the ball. Fortunately, Mbappe reacted quickly enough and stopped the ball.
Then without delay, he volleyed directly towards the football!
The football shot out quickly.
Goalkeeper Cech in front of the goal was very flustered and hurriedly jumped out towards the football.
Sure enough, Mustafi's defense also confused him, which made him a little unexpected, so he tried his best to move as fast as possible, but still did not touch the football. The football flew past his fingers and hit him hard.
The goal behind.
Four to one!
Crystal Palace expanded the score!
Mustafi, who was lying on the ground, was very angry when he saw all this. He raised his hands wildly again, roared at the referee, and glared at the other Arsenal defensive players. It was as if he was complaining about the other Arsenal defensive players.
Same, I have done this, what are you doing?
Cech stared at Mustafi speechlessly and turned his face to the other side. He really didn't want to see Mustafi's face at all. Koscielny also put his hands on his hips and stared at Moustafi.
Staffy was speechless for a long time, even shaking her head.
In this game, Mustafi's performance was indeed very poor. He made consecutive low-level mistakes and ruined Arsenal's hard-earned advantage.
