What is certain is that if Cabaye scores this goal, he will definitely have a chance to be included in the Goal of the Month candidate list.

"We must not let them score a goal." Jose was determined in his heart.

"Time and space pause."

Regardless of whether he could catch up or not, Jose used the stunt without any hesitation.

The figure retreats, its speed can be imagined.

Villa fans had already covered their faces as they seemed to have seen the ball fall into the goal.

When Jose was about to retreat to the goal, he kicked his feet hard and jumped into the air again.

The falling leaf balls do not fall vertically, but the angle is larger than normal, so it gives people the feeling of falling leaves.

Jose has mastered the falling ball technique, so he can calculate the movement route of the ball. All he has to do is intercept the ball halfway along the route, instead of waiting for the ball to arrive at the end like an ordinary goalkeeper.

Facts have proved that what he did was right.

Before the ball could even get close to the goal, it was blocked by Jose.

"Wow." The Villa fans' stands burst into enthusiastic cheers, and Jose's name was sung out by the fans again.

If you don't look at the score, people will think that Villa is in the lead.

The game continues.

In the 42nd minute, N'Zogbia got the first yellow card of the game. The score was behind, which made him a little impatient.

At halftime, Villa trailed 0-1.

During the halftime break, Lambert severely criticized several defensive players. Although he did not name them by name, everyone knew who Lambert was criticizing.

Jose knew that he had a big responsibility, so he did not open his mouth to defend himself.

The game continues in the second half.

After the game started, Lambert immediately started making substitutions.

Weimann and Agbonlahor came on as substitutes at the same time, and Darren Bent and Bennett were substituted.

It is understandable that Darren Bent was replaced. He was in no condition today and was basically invisible in the first half.

But when defender Bennett was replaced, I was a bit confused. His performance was still acceptable, and he had nothing to do with the responsibility for conceding the ball.

Is Lambert going all-out?

Commentators and commentators on major live broadcast platforms have said that Lambert's substitution was too early and he was only one goal behind. Alan Pardew is not Mourinho.

It has to be said that with the two major attackers on the field, Villa's offense was indeed much more intense, and they also had more opportunities to break into the opponent's penalty area.

In the 49th minute, Abanglaho took the ball outside the left side of Newcastle's penalty area and tried to break through. Newcastle player Debich defended him one-on-one.

With a fake move, Agbonlahor passed Debich, who in desperation reached out and dragged Agbonlahor down.

Agbonlahor fell in the penalty area on the spot.

Penalty kick.

Villa had a great chance to equalize the score.

As Benteke is the team's first penalty kicker, this penalty kick opportunity is naturally taken by him.

"We must go in." Villa fans are praying.

"Don't go in." On the other side, Newcastle fans were also praying.

Looking at the fans on both sides, God said he was very busy.

Standing in front of 12 yards, Benteke took a deep breath, then ran two steps slowly, paused briefly, suddenly quickened his pace, and then volleyed directly with his left foot.

Newcastle goalkeeper Krul completely failed to catch the direction of Benteke's shot, and he pounced in the wrong direction.

Although Krul threw the ball in the wrong direction, the ball did not go in.

Anyone familiar with Benteke knows that he most often uses his right foot. However, in this penalty kick, in order to confuse the opponent, he chose to shoot with his left foot.

As a result, it flew away.

Villa missed a great chance to equalize.

In the following time, although both sides had opportunities, they were unable to change the score.

Newcastle were on the road, scoring a goal and taking away 3 points.

This is Newcastle's first away win this season.

It was also Jose's first loss in the Premier League.

Post-game summary.

In terms of ball possession rate, Villa has a slight advantage at 51.7%.

The total number of shots taken by both sides was 12, and the number of shots in the goal was 5 to 3. Villa had 2 more shots than Newcastle.

Villa, who had the advantage in all statistics, lost the game. This is football.

After the game, Clark undoubtedly got the lowest score in the game.

There is no way, conceding the ball is too critical.

After the 24th round, due to the loss, Villa fell to seventh place in the rankings, two points ahead of Liverpool.

…

At the same time, the winter transfer will also end.

There are almost no blockbuster deals.

Among the more interesting ones are:

Sturridge moved to Liverpool, and Chelsea turned around and bought Demba Ba from Newcastle as his replacement.

Manchester United, which had been paying attention to Zaha for a long time, finally took action. Ferguson spent 15 million to bring him from Crystal Palace to Old Trafford.

As for Vera, it can be said that there are no changes in personnel.

...

Three days later, on Saturday, February 2, Villa will usher in the last game of the devil's schedule, heading to Liverpool's Goodison Park to challenge fifth-ranked Everton away.

After this game with Everton, they will have a rare week of recovery time.

In the end, Jose did not choose to go home to celebrate the New Year, but asked his parents to come over to celebrate together.

Jose's mother was originally unwilling. She felt that she was unfamiliar with the place in a foreign country, and coupled with the language barrier, she would not be able to find her way back if she got lost.

On the other hand, Jose's father, who has always wanted to attend the game in person, was naturally very excited about his son's invitation.

In this way, the two parents, one wanted to do it and the other didn't, couldn't make a decision for a while.

…

Just when my parents were struggling with this matter, the 25th round of the Premier League started.

Before the start of this round, Everton had 10 wins, 11 draws, and 3 losses, with 41 points, only 1 point away from fourth-placed Tottenham. Seeing their Champions League berth, they would naturally not let go of every opportunity to score points.

In terms of the starting lineup, there is not much change from the first round. The strongest players are already in the lineup.

After the opening, Everton took the initiative, but they did not take Villa seriously.

However, only 2 minutes later, N'Zogbia made a cross pass in the penalty area, and the ball was passed to Benteke's feet. From the 10-yard right side of the penalty area, Benteke shot low into the far corner. He was not punished for missing the penalty kick in the previous game.

Influence.

The ball went in.

Villa lead by one goal away from home.

Everton, who was lagging behind, attacked frantically, but Villa gave up unnecessary possession and began to counterattack with peace of mind.

In the 21st minute, Everton had an excellent chance to equalize.

No. 11 Miralas passed the ball, and No. 28 forward Anichebe took the ball with his back in the penalty area. Under the pressure of Villa's defenders, he turned around and shot.

If the ground ball was handled by an ordinary goalkeeper, Anichebe's shot would definitely go in.

Jose learned the lesson from the previous game and reacted immediately after the opponent shot.

A "hungry tiger pounces on food", steadily pounced on the opponent's shot.

Jose saved the opponent from a must-goal.

The game continues.

It rained all night, and Everton, who failed to equalize the score, faced another blow in the 24th minute.

Villa's counterattack chance.

Westwood made a pass from the right and the ball landed in the penalty area.

Ten yards from the goal, Agbonlahor overpowered his opponent and headed the ball towards the goal.

The goal was scored, 2-0, Villa leading by two goals away from home.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.

The Villa team, which had already gone crazy, won another victory.

In the 61st minute, Lowton and Weimann kicked the wall in the frontcourt and made a pass. Benteke successfully scored with a header.

Villa lead by three goals away from home.
