It was no different this time.
After Su Luo encountered pressure from Xhaka and Ramsey in midfield, he decided not to force a breakthrough on his own. Instead, he quickly passed the ball to Willian.
Unfortunately, while Willian can often exploit his speed against weaker teams, facing a strong Arsenal defense was a different story.
Within three seconds, multiple Arsenal defenders closed in on him. Kolasinac and Monreal were among them.
Faced with this dual pressure, Willian didn't back down. He tried to pull off a step-over, hoping to outpace them.
But just as he started his move, Kolasinac used his shoulder to knock Willian off balance, sending him to the ground.
Willian was left with nothing.
The referee didn't signal a foul, though. After all, this was the Premier League, where physical play is part of the game.
And with that, Chelsea's attack fizzled out.
Now it was Arsenal's turn to counterattack.
Xhaka once again took charge. His long ball over the top found Arsenal's main striker, Lacazette.
Calm and composed, Lacazette controlled the ball with his right foot. In the next second, he exploded forward, accelerating like a bolt of red lightning through Chelsea's defense.
Without hesitation, he quickly assessed Courtois' position and fired a sharp shot toward the goal.
The ball rocketed into the net.
Lacazette was in top form tonight. It was clear that if you gave him a chance to shoot, there was a high chance he'd find the back of the net.
And this time was no different.
Arsenal's superstar striker had once again broken through Courtois' defenses.
The score was now two to two!
Arsenal's counterattack efficiency was nothing short of terrifying.
On the sidelines, Wenger was elated. He could feel the momentum shifting. He could sense victory.
With the score now level, the balance of the game swung in Arsenal's favor.
Lacazette, overjoyed with his second goal, immediately sprinted to the away section, celebrating with the traveling Arsenal fans.
"Wow! Arsenal has equalized!"
"This match is turning into a real battle. Arsenal's counterattack has left Chelsea with no answers," said the commentator.
"It's Lacazette's second goal of the night. A brace!" Zhan Jun added.
Director Zhang chimed in, "It's fascinating. Arsenal used Chelsea's own strength against them. Under Wenger's guidance, Arsenal has grown into a powerhouse. Beating them, even at home, will be a tall order for Chelsea."
