The ball rolled around and landed perfectly at Ashley Young's feet.
Without hesitation, Ashley Young went all out. He knew that his speed could be his key advantage in breaking through.
And there's no doubt about it—Ashley Young's speed is remarkable. When he kicked into gear, it was like a meteor streaking across the sky.
At that moment, the Chelsea defender tasked with stopping Ashley Young was Cesc Fabregas.
But Fabregas couldn't keep up with Young's pace.
With a decisive burst of acceleration, Ashley Young powered past him.
In no time, he was charging through Chelsea's half, his speed leaving defenders in the dust.
Meanwhile, in Chelsea's penalty area, Manchester United's two forwards, Martial and Rashford, were already positioning themselves for a potential goal.
Without a second thought, Ashley Young made a quick decision and passed the ball.
The ball soared through the air, tracing a beautiful arc before landing perfectly on Rashford's head.
Rashford reacted instantly, meeting the ball with a powerful header aimed at the goal.
His header was fast, too fast for Chelsea's defenders to react.
But even though Chelsea's defenders were caught off guard, Courtois was ready.
After the break, Courtois had found his rhythm, saving numerous brilliant shots from the opposition. This one was no different.
His quick reflexes prevented Rashford's header from finding the back of the net, and the crowd at Stamford Bridge erupted in applause for the incredible save.
Despite the save, Chelsea's manager, Antonio Conte, was far from pleased.
From his perspective, Chelsea's defense had been too passive. They hadn't posed enough of a threat to Manchester United's attack.
It had been far too easy for United to work the ball into Chelsea's penalty area.
This wasn't the standard Conte expected.
After some adjustments, Conte urged his players to focus more on defense and wait for opportunities to launch a counterattack.
With enough counterattacking chances, victory could still belong to Chelsea.
That opportunity didn't take long to come.
Fabregas, positioned in the midfield, received the ball and immediately launched a decisive through ball.
With incredible precision, the ball sliced through Manchester United's midfield defense like a sharp blade.
And finally, it arrived at Su Luo's feet.
The Stamford Bridge crowd went wild, chanting Su Luo's name with excitement. They were hoping he could extend Chelsea's lead.
And it looked like Su Luo was up to the challenge.
As he took possession of the ball, Manchester United's defenders quickly closed in—Matic and Herrera were already on the move, ready to block him.
But Su Luo was unfazed.
With a quick turn, he accelerated twice as fast, his speed leaving the defenders scrambling to catch up.
In one fluid motion, he left the defenders behind, effortlessly escaping their attempts to stop him.
