The immediate effect of Arsenal's free-kick tactics was that Makelele and Thiago could not stop Arsenal's attack and faced the Chelsea back line!

Thierry Henry sprinted the ball into the Chelsea penalty area like a second striker, and the fearsome Chelsea defence suddenly showed signs of panic.

Looking down, Henry with the ball was in front, on the right and behind the side of the ball with Chelsea players rushing to encircle him.

It's like being in an embattled situation.

However, Thierry Henry decisively crossed the ball in front of Carvalho and Pire, who also found his way to the penalty area on the left, and instead dribbled the ball back two steps after receiving Thierry Henry's pass, giving him a very wide view as Chelsea's midfielders were dropping back.

Pire glanced at his own attacking position and immediately passed the ball to the right side of the box.

It looked like he had passed the ball back to where Henry had passed it to him.

But Henry wasn't there anymore and when Henry played the ball to Pire, he slotted in diagonally into the middle of the box, making Terry and Carvalho nervous.

And at this moment, the person who appeared on Pire's passing line was Qin Xiong!

Carvalho saw Qin Xiong coming to answer, he immediately rushed over to block, and Makelle also killed diagonally.

To the surprise of Makelele and Carvalho, Qin Xiong actually leaked the ball!

To his right, Ljungberg received this pass!

Ljungberg kicked the ball out and the ball rolled down the middle of the box, Henry was closely marked by Terry, and Carvalho turned to rush to Henry.

Henry took the ball out again and slotted it diagonally behind Carvalho.

When Carvalho, who was dazed, turned his head to look again, he saw that Qin Xiong had thrown him off. Cut into the penalty area and go to the meeting alone!

Qin Xiong did not give Cech any time to react. Stopping the ball and then the next action is shooting!

A low flat ball is blasted out. The football hangs straight in the bottom left corner of the goal, in the dead corner!

Highbury cheers and shakes the sky!

'Arsenal have scored the Chelsea goal! This will definitely be the best goal of the round! Arsenal's team is a beautiful fit! Henry, Pire, Ljungberg, Qin Xiong, and the four of them composed a green shade serenade! Qin Xiong scored in key games again, and he is improving every day, after coming to the Premier League. Not only did he prove himself, but he also got stronger here! I think there is no need to select the best reinforcement this season, it must be Qin Xiong who is elected! Will his goal bring three points to Arsenal? What's even more secure is that this golden goal has a good chance of bringing Arsenal their 57th unbeaten run! ”

Qin Xiong rushed to the sidelines after scoring a goal, celebrated by kneeling, and spread his arms towards a corner of the stands.

Sylvia stood there, screaming, laughing, and applauding Qin Xiong with a group of Arsenal fans!

Henry, Ljungberg. Piret and other teammates also came to their knees, and they hugged and carnivaled.

The Chelsea squad felt like a bolt from the blue.

The battle for the top of the list is behind!

They stared blankly to the sidelines. Seeing Mourinho standing there like an eternal monument, he made a gesture.

It was a gesture to adjust the attack, and Chelsea themselves did not have a lot of tactical changes, so it was extremely easy to adjust.

Jose Mourinho's grim expression and unyielding spirit infected the Chelsea players and quickly cheered them up.

Arsenal took the lead and Arsene Wenger made adjustments to keep his side conservative and secure the game.

Robben and Duff are both left-footed players, although the two have changed positions in the game, but they can be a little frequent, and now from now on, Robben is fixed on the right side, and Duff uses crosses as the main offensive means on the left side, trying to let Drogba compete for opportunities in the penalty area.

And after Robben switched to the right, his left foot dribble inside was able to be used to the extreme.

With Thiago and Claude Makelele behind him, Frank Lampard has been able to take some of his playmaking responsibilities off his line and focus more on finding opportunities at the front of the attacking pitch.

In the final 15 minutes of the game, it was Arsenal who were the first to threaten attack.

Because Chelsea's defence was loose, Qin Xiong seized a counter-attacking opportunity to send a clever pass to Ljungberg, but it was a pity that Ljungberg shot over the crossbar in the ribs of the box.

Robben suddenly entered a state of madness after a few tentative attacks.

His dribbling changes direction very quickly, and the combination of man and ball couldn't be better.

Peter Pan has the stubbornness to admit defeat in his heart.

Especially in the Netherlands, he lost to Qin Xiong, and he can certainly see that Qin Xiong has scored several long-range shots after dribbling on the side, which is exactly the same as his attacking habits.

He wants to reclaim his own glory!

In the 78th minute, Arjen Robben cut across the box on the right flank, dodging Silva's interception, and then suddenly fired an inward curling shot with his left foot in a tight gap, Lehmann was blocked from view and almost saw the football before he started to move, it was obviously too late.

Fortunately, the football grazed the outside of the far post and went out of the bottom line, but it scared the Arsenal people into a cold sweat.

In the 81st minute, Arjen Robben changed the position of the dribbling and cut straight into the middle from just after half-time, and his unexpected strike caused confusion in Arsenal's midfield defence.

In an effort to contain Robben, the movement of Patrick Vieira and Silva freed up Frank Lampard, who had caught the vacancy.

Arjen Robben poked the ball with his toe to Frank Lampard between Silva and Qin Xiong.

In front of the penalty area, Lampard and Drogba made a one-two combination, and after entering the box, Lampard tested Lehmann with a volley!

'Lehmann made a brilliant save and he denied Frank Lampard's inevitable goal! It seems that Arsenal will not only have the best goal today, but also the top 10 saves! ”

Chelsea's attack is getting sharper.

It was an outburst from Robben at one point.

He stirred up the shape of the whole world.

Although Qin Xiong also wanted to break out, he seemed to be a little lacking in stamina.

The fitness impact of the midweek trip to Asia and Europe was too obvious, and his mistake in the 84th minute almost led to a goal.

He tried to get rid of Makelele, after all, he didn't hit Makelele much in the whole game, he expected that the opponent might relax, but in the change of direction breakthrough, he took the lead due to the drop in explosiveness and was reacted by Makelele and directly cut the forward position, and then lost the ball.

Makelele crosses the ball and Gallas steps forward to play the ball through.

Duff's 45-degree cross from the left was well spotted, Drogba flicked his header between Campbell and Toure and the ball bounced off the crossbar and into the stands.

Drogba looked extremely helpless.

Arsenal looked out of shape in the closing stages of the game to keep up with the opposition's tempo.

This may not just be due to the physical exertion that comes from Arsenal's more aggressive efforts in a game, but also the fact that Arsenal have insisted on a more technical and tactical style of play throughout the first half of the season than Chelsea as a whole.

Defensive counter-attacking teams are explosive, but they don't want to give the ball to their opponents, and in fact they wait for the opponent to finish a round and seize the opportunity to destroy the opponent when they fall into a small cycle of physical outbursts and weak follow-ups.

And Chelsea insist on playing like this for a long time, and this season Chelsea will often take the initiative to reduce consumption after taking the lead, control the ball, although it will be criticized as negative football, but the advantage is obvious, the team's physical condition is better, more stable, and also achieved the utilitarian purpose, to get points.

Physical fitness is not one-sided, of course, Arsenal's players can't get tired, but Chelsea is faster in the fast pace, then it means that Arsenal's physical fitness is not as good as the opponent.

This is something that needs to be contrasted.

In this case, Arsene Wenger intends to make substitutions to solidify the defence.

In the 85th minute, Pire was replaced by Robin van Persie.

As for Qin Xiong, Wenger has always been reluctant to substitute him, and he believes that as long as Qin Xiong stands in place and can send a wonderful pass, then the threat is enough.

Just after the substitutions were completed, Arsenal launched a wave of attacks.

Qin Xiong and Ljungberg cooperated in the midfield, plus Vieira in the back, after the triangle pass was completed, Qin Xiong sent a through pass to the retreating Henry, and Henry sent a diagonal pass for Van Persie.

Van Persie cut into the box and fired a left-footed shot into the goal, which was of good quality, but it was still saved by Cech.

Regardless, Arsenal maintained their attacking threat against Chelsea.

But by this time, Chelsea had made a substitution, with Jose Mourinho bringing on Gudjohnsen and Brich for Duff and Gallas.

The battle for the top spot in Highbury has come to a close. (To be continued......)
