Chapter 287: Chapter 287 Big Four! Su Luo's Strength Has Become Stronger Again!
"Defend! Don't let him—"
On the sidelines, Chelsea coach Antonio Conte was visibly anxious. He had already witnessed Rashford's brilliance in the first half.
So, when Conte saw Rashford breaking past Kante on the wing, his nerves spiked.
Before Conte could finish his command, Rashford stormed into the penalty area with lightning speed!
Crucial moment!
David Luiz steps up!
At the edge of the penalty box, David Luiz didn't hesitate—he threw his body into Rashford, knocking him off balance!
The referee's whistle blew immediately.
Foul on David Luiz!
Without delay, the referee sprinted toward Luiz and pulled out a yellow card!
Despite the booking, Conte was relieved. After all, if Rashford had made it into the box cleanly, it could have been disastrous for Chelsea.
Sometimes, a foul is the best defense.
Mkhitaryan stood over the free kick. Known for his precision, he was United's go-to man in these situations.
He took a moment, eyeing Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
After a brief pause, Mkhitaryan struck the ball!
The football curved beautifully in the air, heading straight for the top corner!
But Courtois, showing why he's one of the best, leaped at full stretch, managing to tip the ball past the post with his fingertips!
"What a save!"
"Courtois comes to Chelsea's rescue at the critical moment!"
"Mkhitaryan's free kick was perfectly placed, bending over the wall and heading for the net!"
"But Courtois' height and reflexes were on full display!"
"The score remains tied at 3-3."
Co-commentator Zhang added, "That was incredible! Courtois saved the day, but Chelsea can't afford to give United another chance like that. If they do, it might cost them the game."
He wasn't wrong.
Chelsea's defense had been shaky since the second half started.
Kante, Bakayoko, and the wing-backs were struggling to cope with United's relentless pressure.
Conte noticed it too.
He knew that if Chelsea were going to win, they had to be proactive.
From the sidelines, Conte started barking orders, calling for Su Luo to step up!
Conte had full faith in Su Luo. He knew that if Su Luo got the ball, Manchester United's defense would be in trouble.
Chelsea players began following their manager's orders to the letter.
They kept feeding the ball to Su Luo at every opportunity!
By the 60th minute, Su Luo, who had dropped deeper into midfield, received a pass from Kante.
The stadium erupted as Chelsea fans chanted Su Luo's name. Every fan in blue was on their feet, eyes locked on their star player.
On the United bench, Mourinho looked tense. He knew the threat Su Luo posed and urgently signaled his defenders to close him down.
But Su Luo wasn't giving them a chance!
With blistering speed, he drove toward the top of the penalty area!
In a flash, Su Luo spotted his opening.
Without hesitation, he took the shot with his right foot!
The ball rocketed towards the goal!
It happened so fast that before De Gea could react, the ball was already past him.
All he could do was stand and watch as the football slammed into the back of the net.
4-3!
Chelsea had taken the lead once again!
"Su Luo has done it again! Four goals!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"At such a crucial moment, Su Luo delivers another stunning long-range strike!"
"The power behind his shot was so immense that Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea had no chance to react!"
"Chelsea are back in the lead!"
Zhan Jun's voice was filled with excitement.
At that moment, Chelsea fans erupted into sheer madness.
There was no doubt—this was the outcome every Chelsea supporter had been hoping for.
On the sidelines, Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte was ecstatic. He pumped his fists into the air, celebrating with passion. The momentum had shifted back to Chelsea, and victory seemed within reach.
The Chelsea players immediately swarmed Su Luo, celebrating with him. They knew how crucial his goal was.
Meanwhile, over at Manchester United's bench, Mourinho's face reflected deep disappointment. He had done everything he could, and he knew his players had given their all on the pitch.
But this is the nature of competitive sports.
Fortunately for United, there was still time on the clock to fight back and find an equalizer.
Five minutes later.
The Manchester United players refocused and prepared for a counterattack!
Matic won possession in midfield and quickly sent the ball out wide to Mata.
Without hesitation, Matic darted into the Chelsea penalty area, anticipating the next move.
Mata saw Matic's run and didn't hesitate either.
He whipped in a precise long pass, sending the ball arching through the air, aiming straight for the Chelsea penalty area.
It was clear now that United were focusing on aerial attacks and crosses from the wings.
Mourinho was determined to breach Courtois' goal with a powerful header!
Mata's delivery was perfect—spot on, as it landed right on Matic's head!
Earlier in the match, Matic had already scored a header, and now, as the ball soared toward him, his confidence was sky-high.
He leapt up, overpowering David Luiz, and managed to get his head to the ball.
But unfortunately for United...
Courtois was ready.
With a lightning-quick reaction, Chelsea's goalkeeper made a brilliant save, clearing the danger once again.
