Chapter 462 Four Crowns

Near the edge of the penalty area, Damian shoveled the ball into the penalty area.

Rashford went to receive the ball and Mertesacker kicked the ball out first.

Kante steals the ball and passes the ball to Lingard.

Lingard followed up with a long shot, but Holding blocked the ball from the bottom line.

Lingard and Rashford immediately raised their hands to signal Holding's handball.

"Handball!" Mourinho was also shouting from the sidelines.

………………

Rashford scored twice.

………………

Carrick pressed up and entered the penalty area. Facing Mertesacker, Carrick crossed the center.

Before the start of the second half, Wenger made successive substitutions.

It is not easy to defeat Arsenal in the FA Cup.

"This is the least suspenseful game in the history of the FA Cup final." Lineker shook his head and sighed, "Arsenal didn't even try to resist and cause trouble for Manchester United."

What's on his mind is not just this final, but Arsenal's future.

………………

Referee Anthony Taylor seemed to hesitate for a moment, then signaled it was a corner kick.

The camera locked on Wenger.

Mourinho also began to deploy troops.

The entire substitution idea is very clear, stabilize the midfield and cannot concede the ball again. Strengthen the striker's aerial ability, hoping to score a goal through set pieces and save some face.

"Game over, game over, 5:1! Manchester United beat Arsenal 5:1 in the FA Cup final."

After Vieira left, Arsenal did not have a defensive midfielder they could really trust.

Mourinho's Manchester United is like a giant beast that has suddenly risen. Judging from the current strength of Manchester United, especially Mourinho's coaching ability, this team will dominate the Premier League in the short term.

4: 0!

This is a bit cruel for Wenger, who has coached Arsenal for so many years and led this team to experience glory.

On the field, Bruno was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate, and he was extremely happy.

Sixty-five minutes into the game, the score on the field was still 3:0, with Manchester United leading.

Damn it, the "insulated cup" doesn't keep warm either!

"Rooney is running, he is chasing the ball, Holding is chasing Rooney!"

Facing Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina, Rooney tried to take a shot. After deceiving Ospina to fall to the ground and save, he pulled the football horizontally and swept it into the empty goal.

The football bounced after being hit by Ospina.

Arsenal, who were trailing 0:2, had no choice but to make a desperate move and press forward crazily to attack.

After Rooney made a beautiful catch in the frontcourt, he drove the ball all the way. Holding tried his best to chase, but failed to catch up with the fat man.

With Kanter's departure, Manchester United's midfield defensive hardness and effectiveness have dropped significantly.

"Bruno! The second goal of the game, Manchester United leads Arsenal 2:0!"

The camera can capture that when the whistle blew at the end of the game, Arsenal players, including Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker, breathed a sigh of relief: the nightmare was finally over.

The Manchester United people celebrated excitedly on the field, while the Arsenal players were stunned and had no fighting spirit.

Arsenal has already missed the Champions League next season. Wenger can't imagine Arsenal missing the Champions League consecutively in the future.

Rashford failed to correct his position under Mertesacker's marking, and the football bounced on the back of his head, causing chaos in the Arsenal penalty area.

You know, the FA Cup is known as the "Thermos Cup" and can be said to be Wenger's private territory. During Wenger's years coaching Arsenal, the FA Cup has saved Wenger's position several times.

Objectively speaking, the director is very unfriendly. This is a completely heart-wrenching move!

There are also commentators discussing and exploring what Wenger is thinking at this moment.

Mourinho was naturally dissatisfied. He protested endlessly on the sidelines and received a verbal warning from the referee.

"Handball! Holding seemed to have blocked it with his hand." Lineker also said the same.

Andy Gray said even more cruelly: "It's another disastrous defeat. Wenger has a painful expression. I hope he can realize that times have changed. If Arsenal doesn't make changes, they will still invest as little as ever. There is a gap between them and Manchester United." It will only get bigger and bigger, not to mention competing for the league championship, the top four in the league will become more and more dangerous.”

Giroud assisted Ramsey to score a goal in the 1th minute of the game, rewriting the score to 4:.

The shot was powerful and heavy, and Ospina saved it.

Kanter passed the ball to Carrick, who started the attack with a long pass from the backcourt.

Facing Mertesacker, the only defender in the penalty area, Rooney used his speed to beat him alive.

Bruno, who ran into the penalty area after taking the corner kick, reacted fastest. He squeezed away the defender and shot with a shovel. The football jumped up, crossed the goal line, and flew into the empty goal.

However, it depends on the situation. At the very least, the professor's heart at this time is depressed and helpless.

When Rooney scored and expanded the score to 3:0, Wenger stood on the sidelines with a dull expression on his face.

On the other side, Wenger covered his face with his hands, and the professor felt terrible now.

Coquelin came on as a substitute, replacing Xhaka.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLL!!!!!!!!"

Rooney was replaced, Mata came on as a substitute, Bruno and Lingard were pushed up front.

In the chaos, Carrick swept the football to Rooney. Under Bellerin's defense, the Manchester United captain did not choose to force a shot, but swept the football to the top of the penalty area.

Specific to this game, even looking back, Arsenal suffered defeats at the feet of Manchester United several times, and Wenger knew where the team lost.

Manchester United's corner kick, Bruno drove the football into the penalty area.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Arsenal 3:0 at halftime with goals from Rashford, Bruno and Rooney. They were almost invincible in this FA Cup final.

The French midfielder, who has just turned 26, is the most important player for Manchester United.

Wenger covered his face with his hands in pain.

He didn't think about anything, only a deep sense of frustration in his heart.

"Get rid of it!"

Veteran Giroud came on as a substitute, replacing Welbeck who was almost invisible in the first half.

The staff held up the electronic sign indicating two minutes of stoppage time for the entire match. However, the referee ignored the stoppage time and immediately blew the whistle to end the match as soon as the 90-minute game time was up.

In the stands of the new Wembley Stadium, some Arsenal fans had already left early. They were not in the mood to watch Arsenal receive the silver medal.

Not to mention Arsenal, even Guardiola's Manchester City, Conte's Chelsea, or Klopp's Liverpool will have a very difficult time shaking Manchester United's plunder of the championship.

This situation is very rare in finals, which shows how uncomfortable and disappointed Arsenal fans are.

Defensively, it is impossible to guard against it; if you set up an offensive formation and try to compete with Manchester United and score goals, you will also be defeated.

Although Wenger seems elegant, he is definitely not a person who gives up easily. For Arsenal, for the team he has played for for more than 20 years and devoted his efforts to, Wenger decided to give it a try.

Five minutes later, Bruno took a direct free kick and penetrated Ospina's fingers.

………………

In his more than 7 years of coaching Arsenal, the professor has reached the FA Cup finals 6 times and won championship trophies. He is the head coach with the most wins in the history of the FA Cup.

"Bruno scored to give Manchester United a two-goal lead, which also took the pressure off Mourinho. For Mourinho and Manchester United, this is a very safe score!"

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Manchester United's counterattack!"

“GOOOOOOOOOALLL!!!!!!!!”

Is it really time for me to leave?

Mourinho pumped his fists and shouted excitedly on the sidelines.

"Rooney! Third! Manchester United 3:0 Arsenal!"

In Wenger's view, it's not Rooney, it's not Lingard, it's not Bruno.

Then before the end of the first half, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack after stealing the ball in the backcourt.

Bruno suddenly cut inside, attracted the attention of the defensive player, and then sent a through ball.

But that's all.

Mourinho replaced Rashford, who scored twice, and replaced Herrera.

"In the 39th minute, Manchester United led Arsenal by two goals, and it was Bruno who scored for them!"

This adjustment soon had an effect. Bruno and Lingard took turns tearing apart Arsenal's defense line, leaving Arsenal's two wings exhausted.

Wenger's eyes stayed on Kanter, envious.

At this point in the game, Wenger knew that Manchester United was certain to win.

<divclass="contentadv">Three goals behind at halftime. Most importantly, the team's morale is extremely low. How can we play this game?

Although it is said that we cannot give up before the game is over, and there is still half a game, so there is enough time.

The loss is certain and the championship is hopeless. All Wenger wants now is to avoid another disastrous defeat.

Kante was also replaced, and Fellaini got a rare chance to play.

………………

Mata missed the ball, and Rashford, who was following closely, volleyed the ball. The ball bypassed the feet of Holding, who was flying in the tackle, and flew into the net from Ospina's armpit.

………………

Manchester United fans couldn't hold it any longer. They stood up in the stands, sang and danced to celebrate winning the championship in advance.

If Arsenal had Kante... there are not many ifs in the world.

Then, people saw a figure rushing up and hitting the football with a blast!

"Damian! Shoot!"

………………

Slow motion showed that the football did hit Holding's right hand. It was a handball and Arsenal escaped.

At least that's what it looks like for now.

"Familiar game, familiar rhythm, familiar formula." Manchester's commentator shouted proudly, unscrupulously and arrogantly, "Arsenal was defeated by Manchester United again."

5: 1!

"Congratulations to Manchester United, congratulations to Mourinho, they successfully defended the FA Cup! In a final with almost no suspense, Manchester United massacred Arsenal with a huge advantage."

"2016-2017 English FA Cup Champion - Manchester United!"
