After B Fee scored the goal, Southampton's offense began to play more easily.

They kept the ball in midfield and then applied pressure through the wings.

This advantage is based on Southampton's midfield advantage. The Arsenal midfielder lacking five players is indeed unable to compete with Southampton's midfielder.

Whether it is Cazorla, Ozil, Wilshere, Ramsey or the newly joined Mkhitaryan, they are all excellent midfielders. If they can compete with Southampton's main midfielder, then Arsenal will not be like this.

After gaining the midfield advantage, Southampton can logically expand its advantage-this is what they have been doing in recent years.

After scoring one goal, they will continue to look for the second goal.

It didn't take them much time.

In the No. 16 minute of the game, Southampton once again played a beautiful offense.

De Bruyne's midfielder flew a beautiful pass to the right side of the penalty area. Valverde who advanced forward received the ball. Facing the defense of the opponent's defender, he still forced the bottom and then raised his foot to pass the ball into the penalty area.

This is a cross from near the bottom line to the front of the small penalty area. The angle is not very big. Although Du Yue rushed over, from this angle, he has half his back to the goal. In the case of pressing from behind, as long as he stops the ball, Mustafi will not let him turn around and shoot.

However, Du Yue did not stop the ball.

Running towards the ball, he stretched out his left foot while running, and then used the outside instep of his left foot to follow the direction of the ball's flight, taking advantage of the opportunity to flick it!

This action looked awkward, and after the ball was thrown out, he was knocked to the ground by Mustafi who was pressing up from behind, but the ball that was lifted by him changed direction quickly , The slash flew to the point behind the goal!

Cech fell to the ground a step slower, and the ball flew into the back of the goal!

Two to zero, Southampton established an advantage early in the away game!

"Du Yue! Du Yue! This is his No. 30 goal this season! He continues to be far ahead in the scorer list! 33 league rounds, [-] goals! This is also based on the fact that he has not played in at least five games Situation! A top scorer with a goal rate of more than one!"

“连续两个赛季进球达到三十个!这在英超之前只有一个人做到过!阿兰?希勒曾经在93-94、94-95、95-96连续三个赛季英超进球达到三十球!当然,他的成绩要更了不起一些,因为他连续三个赛季进球都超过了三十个,而杜跃还有机会!”

"Expanding to the old League One era, there are only a handful of players who can score 60 goals in two consecutive seasons! The legendary Tottenham striker Jimmy Grievous was the top scorer in League One three times in a row in the 29s Unfortunately, he only scored more than [-] goals in the first two seasons, and unfortunately only scored [-] goals in the third season! Everton's Lawton, Derby's Bowers, and Sunderland's Campbell also all Such a feat has been created, but it was all in ancient times! Du Yue can now stand shoulder to shoulder with these great names!"

The commentators began to talk excitedly, since Du Yue scored the No.20 nine goals, everyone has been looking forward to this moment, and now, this moment has finally appeared!

The Arsenal fans in the stands booed angrily. They were very promising at the beginning of this season, but until now, they have begun to become disappointed.

Disappointment in this situation can lead to more intense emotions.

Amidst the boos, it was clear to Wenger and the Arsenal players that a change had to be made.

They started playing in a more aggressive way.

Instead of entangled with Southampton in the midfield, pass the ball directly into the penalty area and use the striker's impact to find opportunities.

This tactic is relatively simple, but it can avoid Southampton's most powerful midfielder.

Of course, this kind of offense also requires a little luck, such as the good condition of the striker and the like.

Good luck up and down for Arsenal.

After a fierce attack, Arsenal finally played a beautiful attack.

Xhaka passed the ball straight into the penalty area from the middle. Welbeck ran laterally to catch the ball. When Maguire's attention was on him, he knocked the ball diagonally to the other side of the penalty area. Aubameyang, who went forward, showed his speed, and he took the lead in stabbing the ball before De Ligt made up for the clearance!

As soon as he poked the ball out, Dericht, who rushed over, knocked him down-it can be seen that his shot was also very timely.

The ball quickly changed its direction and flew into the near corner of the goal. Although Gulac made a save, he was helpless in the face of the shot that was almost inside the small penalty area!

Arsenal pulled back a point.

This goal made Arsenal's morale start to skyrocket. They continued to attack, hitting the ball directly from the midfield into the penalty area, relying on the personal abilities of Welbeck and Aubameyang to create opportunities.

Both of them are strikers with strong personal ability, and they are both very flexible. Facing Southampton's defense, their performance can play a very good role.

The two sides continued to entangle on the field. Although Southampton was beaten a bit untenable by Arsenal for a while, they still had the advantage in the midfield after all, so slowly, they stabilized their position.

Wenger sighed, this is the reason why he didn't pass the midfielder quickly - firstly, Arsenal has always been playing on the ground and attacking the technical flow, if they change tactics hastily, the team will be a little chaotic, and secondly, they voluntarily give up on the midfielder. After the control, it is likely to continue to be passive, rather than to change the rhythm of the game.

The two sides have been entangled, and Southampton's advantage has allowed them to stabilize their position, while constantly looking for opportunities.

In the 703rd minute of the game, Southampton once again completed a beautiful attack. Valverde dribbled the ball forward on the right, and then passed it to Sancho, who came off the bench. Sancho received the ball and passed it across. Valverde, who went forward, broke into the penalty area after receiving the ball. Facing the defense of the opponent's defender, he continued to forcibly accelerate, dodged a gap and then crossed the ball into the penalty area. Taking the ball is a volley, and the ball hits the net three times!

Arsenal, who did not give up, continued to attack in the remaining time, and finally scored a header from Welbeck in the No. 803 minute, recovering another point.

However, the point recovered was not enough for them to get even one point.

Southampton beat Arsenal [-]-[-] in the away game and won another key victory!

Next, they just have to wait for the result of the Manchester derby...
