Even so, there is one player in the Birmingham team who still hasn't given up, and he is Lingard.
From the first minute of this game, Lingard was very active in the frontcourt, but there was a huge difference in strength between the two teams, and Lingard alone could not reverse the defeat.
Despite this, he still spared no effort to fight in the frontcourt. Even at the last moment of the game, Lingard did not give up the opportunity.
In the 85th minute of the game, the left back Ashley Young couldn't bear the attack in his heart. He passed all the way and charged to the frontcourt to participate in the attack. ground back.
The Birmingham goalkeeper saw a gap on Manchester United's left, and there was a Birmingham player there!
Without hesitation, he drove over with a big foot.
The player in the gap is none other than Lingard. He saw that it was difficult for him to get the ball in the frontcourt, so he cruised to the space behind Ashley Young. Fortunately, the Birmingham goalkeeper had a good view, and Lingard received the ball from the goalkeeper's big foot.
Lingard unloaded the ball very lightly, and he glanced at it. At this time, only Jones and Bailey were left in the Manchester United penalty area. The other players were attacking in Birmingham's half and did not return.
Lingard didn't hesitate. He dribbled the ball straight into the United penalty area. There were no other Birmingham players around him at this time, and he was on his own.
Lingard dribbled the ball forward. At this moment, Jones came out of the penalty area and rushed straight to Lingard. Lingard didn't make any fancy moves. He just stopped and accelerated, which caught Jones off guard. Almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Jones reacted quickly, chased back in a hurry, and stretched out his feet to intercept Lingard.
After Lingard won the opportunity for himself, he saw that Bailey was still in the penalty area.
After the first half of the duel, he had lingering fears about the black defender. Although he was young, he played steadily and ruthlessly, and he was absolutely not sure of defeating him. At this time, Jones is about to be in place behind him. After a while, two people double-team him, and the ball under his feet will definitely be lost.
At this moment of lightning and flint, Lingard made his best choice to shoot from a long distance.
Lingard was entangled with two Manchester United defenders on the edge of the penalty area. No one expected that he tilted his body slightly to the side, swung his right foot directly, and drew it under the ball. The ball went towards the dead corner of the goal!
Not only Bailey and Jones did not expect Lingard's sudden kick, but even Alisson in front of the goal did not expect it.
After the whole game, Birmingham didn't have a few decent shots. Alisson was almost catching a cold in front of the goal. He was sure that the distance he moved in this game was definitely not as far as the photographer next to him.
But he didn't expect that at the end of the game, he suddenly ushered in such a threatening cold shot from his opponent. Not to mention that Alisson was cold all over at this time, even when he was in excellent condition, he might not be able to Respond.
Lingard's shot bypassed Bailly and Jones who were defending him, and under Alisson's motionless gaze, he went straight to the dead corner of the goal, and Alisson had no time to react.
Did the ball go in?
"boom!"
in a second,
Lingard saw the ball hit the post hard and bounced off the baseline. He couldn't stand still because of the powerful shot and fell to the ground. Seeing that his efforts were in vain, Lingard hammered the lawn hard.

Although Lingard on the field lost the chance to score, he saw Kintag applauding himself not far from his side, and a little warmth rose in his heart.
Lingard felt warm, but Jones and Bailly felt a little chill.
Jones said to Bailey with a bitter face: "The boss applauded Lingard, he must be dissatisfied with the two of us."
"Then we must improve our concentration, and don't make the mistake just now."
With that said, Bailey took his position in front of the goal and took the last few minutes seriously.
And Jones is closely marking Lingard, and now he is the most threatening in Birmingham.
