Chapter 339 9 points

Arsenal's big victory over Liverpool was something that all the media did not expect before the game. After all, Liverpool's record has been very impressive recently.

Especially in this game, the scene is almost one-sided, but the media also knows that this does not mean that Arsenal is much stronger than Liverpool. The main reason is that it is international match days.

It is a very happy thing for Arsenal to win Liverpool, but this big victory still has a lot of regret, that is, Chelsea also won the game a day later.

Although Chelsea won very hard, winning means winning, and three-pointers are the most important thing. The scene is not important for Mourinho or Chelsea.

What's more, Chelsea won the make-up game two days later, which means that the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea narrowed. The two teams had a 12-point difference, but after Chelsea won Leicester City, the two teams had only a 9-point difference.

This is a very subtle point difference. One point can reach double digits. Don’t underestimate this point. The difference between one part is the difference between heaven and earth.

There are 7 rounds left in the league, and the 9-point gap only needs three rounds to smooth it out, not to mention that there is a direct collision between Arsenal and Chelsea.

In the 34th round of the league, Arsenal will welcome Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. If nothing unexpected happens, that game should be a game that really determines the ownership of the Premier League championship this season.

Of course, before that league game comes, the league champion may lose suspense in advance, such as Chelsea losing streak, after all, there are two rounds of games left before thirty-four rounds.

As for the upcoming 32nd round of the game, almost everyone does not think that Arsenal will lose. In this game, Arsenal will face Burnley, who is in the relegation zone.

Such a failure may be possible for other teams. Although Burnley is currently in the relegation zone, they have not failed to let the first four pass. In the 26th round of the league, Burnley tied Chelsea 1:1.

But for Arsenal, the chance of overturning is too small, because even if Arsenal failed to score in the midfield and frontcourt, Li Shou, the goalkeeper with a free kick that maintained a 100% success rate.

Moreover, Arsenal does not have to play in the make-up game, so there is enough time to give the players a rest. In contrast, Chelsea needs to play against Leicester City first.

So Chelsea still had a very difficult victory in the 32nd round of the game. Chelsea also faced a team in the relegation zone. The Queen's Park Rangers in this round of the league.

1:0, and it scored at the last moment of the game. When the game was about to enter stoppage time, Hazard and Oscar collided with the wall to tear open the Queen's Park Rangers' defense line, and finally the follow-up Fabregas shot dead corner to complete the final shot.

As the end of the season approaches, even the teams in the relegation zone will fight to the death, because there is no team that wants to be relegated, so as long as there is still a chance to climb out of the relegation zone, the team will definitely fight to the death.

So Arsenal's game is actually not as simple as those people imagined. Even Arsenal and Chelsea encountered the same situation and did not score points after getting the ball.

After the game started, Arsenal turned away and had an excellent opportunity in the seventh minute. Sanchez broke into the penalty area and missed without anyone defending it.

Five minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback, and Sanchez was still the one who missed the ball again when he was almost in the same position.

Today, Sanchez didn't have shooting boots. In the first half, none of the five-footed shots hit the goal frame. Other players hit the goal frame, and most of them were sent directly into Heaton's arms.

Arsenal shots in a total of thirteen shots throughout the first half, only three shots were within the range of the goal frame, and two of these three shots were directly sent into the arms of Burnley goalkeeper Heaton.

So in this game, not only Sanchez did not bring shooting boots, but all Arsenal players did not have shooting boots. In addition to the problems of Arsenal players, Burnley's defense was also done well.

Wenger was not dissatisfied with the halftime break. Arsenal had a great advantage in the first half, but the final kick was a bit terrible.

Sometimes we can't blame the players for this situation. Normal people will have ups and downs in their state. Well, Li Shou doesn't count, this guy should be no longer considered a normal person.

Wenger is not in a hurry and has another reason, that is, Li Shou's existence. After most of the season, not only Arsenal fans have blind trust in Li Shou, but Arsenal's teammates are also full of confidence, and even Wenger is no exception.

However, Li Shou did not need to play in this game, because Arsenal broke the deadlock shortly after the start of the second half, with a long shot from Ramsey.

Sanchez broke through on the wing again and cut into the penalty area. This time, after attracting defensive players, Sanchez passed back to the top of the arc outside the penalty area, and the ball was also there.

Sanchez's pass was just right. Ramsey didn't need to make any adjustments and directly shot from a long shot. The ball rushed straight to the dead corner of the goal. Burnley goalkeeper Heaton didn't even move this time.

After scoring the goal, Arsenal wanted to take advantage of this momentum to completely end the game, but the result was not satisfactory. Burnley actually took advantage of Arsenal's full attack to launch two waves of counterattacks.

These two waves of counterattacks not only gave Arsenal two yellow cards, but also had two free kick opportunities. Originally, Arsenal had considered creating a free kick opportunity to Li Shou if he had not scored, but now he gave Burnley two consecutive free kick opportunities.

However, this is a good thing for Li Shou, because Li Shou had no chance to perform in the whole first half. In the first half, Burnley only had a decent three-step shot, and two of them were still within the range of the goal frame. In other words, Li Shou made a save in the whole first half.

When Li Shou faced Liverpool in the last game, he had no chance to perform. Everyone thought it would be a fierce battle, but the result was almost one-sided.

So these two free kicks were Burnley's chances and Li Shou's chances. Li Shou also did what a goalkeeper should do, keeping Burnley's two free kicks out, which was also Burnley's two most threatening attacks in the second half.

After giving Burnley two chances, Arsenal began to retreat, trying to use the leading advantage to force Burnley players to attack and fight back.

However, Burnley was able to hold back and did not really start to be in chaos until eighty minutes later. Then Arsenal did make two good counterattacks, but in the end it failed to expand its lead.

1:0 is also the final score of this game. Arsenal's victory ensured the difference in points with Chelsea and further put pressure on Chelsea.
