The ball was thrown into the air, and the ball was thrown into the penalty area.

In the midfield, Moritz Leitner received the pass from his teammate and immediately passed the ball into the penalty area!

As a player wearing the No. 10 jersey, Moritz Leitner's pass was still very accurate.

The only pity is that Aston Villa's defenders were very active in assisting defense and did not give Pukki any chance at all!

Moreover, Pukki's height was only about 180cm, and he had no height advantage in the confrontation with Aston Villa's central defender.

Mings took the lead in clearing the ball!

On the wing, Xia Yuan successfully grabbed the ball before the Norwich players.

But Norwich's frontcourt pressing was quite fierce.

In the blink of an eye, Moritz Leitner, who had just come on the field, resolutely rushed in front of Xia Yuan.

Tackled him with the ball!

"Beep!!"

"Beep!!"

The referee Banks blew his whistle again.

Indicated that Moritz Leitner had committed a defensive foul!

However.

Although the referee penalized Moritz Leitner for a foul, Xia Yuan did not stand up immediately.

Instead, he fell on the grass like Grealish before, with a very painful expression.

Aston Villa's team doctor came to the stadium as soon as possible and began to give Xia Yuan simple treatment.

In the stands, more than 40,000 Aston Villa fans saw this scene and their hearts immediately rose to their throats!

Grealish had already left the field due to injury. If Xia Yuan could no longer continue the game, Norwich would most likely equalize the score in the last period of time!

"Oh! My God! Please protect Xia from getting hurt!"

"Norwich's No. 10 player is committing a crime!"

"Why didn't you show Moritz Leitner a yellow card? This is clearly a move that went after people!"

"Norwich can't beat us, so they use this move to hurt our players! It's really despicable!"

"Xia!! You must hold on! Villa can't lose you!"

Fortunately, Xia Yuan's injury was not serious this time.

He slowly stood up with the help of the team doctor.

At this moment.

The fans in the stands of the entire Villa Park stadium immediately gave Xia Yuan warm applause!

In the box stands

Princess Ingrid of Norway asked her father in a panic: "Dad, is Xia's injury serious? Can he still play?"

Crown Prince Haakon Magnus also looked a little panicked. He patted Princess Ingrid's hair and said slowly: "Dear Ingrid, I'm not a doctor. I don't know Xia's injury."

After hearing her father say this, Ingrid became even more worried.

Haakon Magnus saw Ingrid's nervous expression and immediately said: "Aston Villa has not made any substitutions yet. Xia Yuan should be able to play."

Sure enough, not long after Xia Yuan returned to the court, and Princess Ingrid was instantly excited!

She stared at Xia Yuan with her big watery eyes, fearing that her idol would be injured.

In the studio of Dongqiu.com, Zhan Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xia Yuan return to the court!

"Xia Yuan is back on the field again! It seems that he can still play!"

"When Grealish left the field, Xia Yuan became the only core of Aston Villa's offense. He must not fall!"

The game continued.

Xia Yuan took the free kick in the backcourt.

As Aston Villa is currently in the lead, Xia Yuan did not drive the ball to the frontcourt!

Instead, he chose to pass the ball back.

Villa began to pass the ball back in the backcourt, hoping to use this method to consume as much time as possible in the game!

Of course, Norwich players will naturally not give Aston Villa players a chance!

In an instant, many frontcourt players immediately carried out high-pressure pressing, trying to steal the ball from the feet of Villa players.

Villa players did not dare to be careless and quickly passed the ball to midfielder McGinn!

But!

McGinn obviously underestimated Norwich's pressing strength this time. After receiving the ball, he did not choose to pass the ball immediately, but chose to carry the ball forward!

At this critical moment.

Several defensive players rushed to McGinn's side and interfered with him at the same time!

In a flash, the ball under McGinn's feet was successfully intercepted!

"Francchi!!"

"

Franchi completed the steal from McGinn's feet! "

"Norwich's counterattack opportunity!"

"Pass the ball."

"The ball came to Buendia's feet!"

In the live commentary booth, Douyin commentator He Wei's voice was a little nervous.

And in the stands, tens of thousands of Aston Villa fans have stood up involuntarily! They are eagerly looking forward to the home team's defense to disrupt Buendia's breakthrough.

But.

The South American player's dribbling speed is too fast.

After a flick of the left foot, he took the opportunity!

He broke into Aston Villa's penalty area!

The time to test Villa's central defender has come.

Both central defenders Mings and Elphick appeared in front of Buendia...

After seeing this scene.

Buendia did not choose to break through, but chose to pass the ball to Pukki in the gap!

Bang~

The football flashed past the two Villa central defenders at a high speed.

There was no time to interfere.

It can be said that Aston Villa's defense line had completely surrendered at this time.

As long as Pukki completed the shot in the penalty area, the football would most likely fly into the goal!

In the small penalty area.

Pukki did not shoot directly, but chose to stop the ball with his left foot. The shooter wanted to stop the ball in a more comfortable position to shoot!

But it was this pause that gave Aston Villa a chance!

At the critical moment, Xia Yuan came!

At the moment when Pukki shot, Xia Yuan blocked it with his right foot!

The football was blocked out of the baseline!

Key interception!

"Xia Yuan!"

"Xia Yuan appeared in front of Pukki at the critical moment, and he blocked it with his right foot! "

In the stands, Aston Villa fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, the fans who recovered began to shout Xia Yuan's name hysterically again!

It was deafening.

After that, Norwich got a corner kick.

Wing player Buendia took the penalty.

The ball flew to the front point.

After the attacking midfielder Stiepermann jumped high, he headed the ball in the air!

Bang!!

The ball successfully hit the post and bounced out of the bottom line again.

Norwich missed a good chance to score again.

The score was still 3 to 2.

The game time came to the 75th minute, and there were only 15 minutes left in the game. The time left for Norwich was getting less and less...
