The ball was thrown out of the way, and the ball was thrown out of the goal.

Moritz Leitner, plus McLean and Stiepermann!

Xia Yuan was still quite calm in the face of three players. He did not choose a long pass, but a gentle push.

The football passed through the gap between the defenders and successfully appeared at McGinn's feet. At this moment, McGinn received the ball in the front midfielder position.

Since the two midfielders of Norwich had already focused on Xia Yuan at this time, this gave McGinn a chance to shoot.

At the top of the penalty area, McGinn took a look at the position of the Norwich goalkeeper and immediately swung his foot to complete the shot!

The football quickly penetrated the goal guarded by Michael.

2-0.

McGinn also scored a goal, and Xia Yuan also got his second assist in this game.

When the score reached 2-0, the mentality of Norwich's players had fallen to the bottom. After the restart, although the head coach Falk had been directing his disciples to strengthen the attack, to be honest, judging from the current state of Norwich, it was still difficult to create some threats to Aston Villa's goal.

Dean Smith is a conservative head coach.

Whenever the team takes the lead, coach Dean Smith often chooses to let his players focus on the defensive end, that is, to set up an iron bucket formation.

And this time is no exception.

Although the strength of the Norwich team is not strong, it is currently ranked only 17th in the Premier League, and there are no superstars in the team's lineup, and the offensive tactics are relatively rough.

But despite this, Dean Smith still chose the iron bucket formation.

In the next ten minutes, Norwich, which was already two goals behind, began to launch a crazy attack!

Two wingers, Buendia and Cantwell, began to make continuous crosses from the wing.

Norwich's technical and tactical purpose is very clear, that is, to find Pukki on the front line as much as possible through crosses from the wing.

But the Norwich center forward is always disturbed by Mings. As the tallest player on the back line of Aston Villa, Mings's air defense ability is still quite outstanding.

He grabbed the first point several times in a row!

In the 43rd minute, Mings completed the grab again. He headed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. The Villa player who appeared in this position was Xia Yuan.

After Xia Yuan stopped the ball with his left foot, he immediately flicked it with his right foot. Immediately afterwards, Xia Yuan made another long pass, and the ball directly found El Gachi on the forward line.

But after El Gachi received the ball, he did not break through with the ball at the first time, but directly handed the ball to McGinn who followed up. McGinn did not say a word and directly made a shot!

At this moment, the Norwich goalkeeper made a crucial flying save and dragged the ball out of the baseline with one hand.

Corner kick.

Aston Villa successfully got a corner kick opportunity before the end of the first half.

When Grealish was not on the court, the corner kick should have been given to Xia Yuan to take the penalty, but Xia Yuan had excellent header ability. If Xia Yuan took the corner kick, it would be a waste of Xia Yuan's header ability, so the player who took the corner kick this time was replaced by McGinn.

After McGinn's right foot made an arc, the football landed quickly in the front point!

At the front post, Xia Yuan grabbed the first point without any suspense, and then Xia Yuan struggled to head the ball!

Three to zero!

Xia Yuan scored his first goal in this game!

The suspense was basically gone.

At this moment, in the away fans' stands, thousands of Aston Villa fans shouted Xia Yuan's name at the same time! !

After scoring the goal, Xia Yuan made his signature celebration move.

He waved his left hook wildly!

After the restart, Aston Villa did not give Norwich too many opportunities. The away players of Aston Villa have been focusing on defense.

They did not give Norwich any chance at all.

In the end, at the end of the first half, Aston Villa temporarily led Norwich 3:0.

During the halftime break, several news items were released on the website of Doqiu.

"Xia Yuan played superbly! Aston Villa led by three goals in the first half! Xia Yuan assisted to score twice! 》

"One goal and two assists! Xia Yuan broke the opponent's defense with his own strength! 》

"Eight consecutive wins are coming! Aston Villa is missing Grealish and Wesley, Xia Yuan took the initiative to stand up! 》

"Aston Villa passes the ball in the first half

The success rate is as high as 70%! Villa strikes Norwich with a dimensionality reduction! 》

In the comment area, a large number of Xiaguo fans are praising Xia Yuan's performance crazily!

"Xia Yuan's performance in the first half is completely unsolvable! Two wonderful passes directly penetrated the opponent's defense!"

"I really can't believe that after the absence of Grealish and Wesley, Xia Yuan created a miracle with his own strength!"

"No suspense! As long as Xia Yuan is on the court, Aston Villa will definitely win!"

"Both teams are newly promoted, but why is the gap so big?"

Fifteen minutes later

As soon as the second half began, Norwich, who played at home, began to launch a crazy attack!

Obviously, Coach Falk did not want to lose the game with a score of 0 to 3.

However, Norwich's offensive tactics are still mainly based on the wing.

But the effect is quite bad.

When the Norwich team attacks in a big way, there will definitely be huge loopholes in the back line!

As expected, when the game reached the 64th minute, Aston Villa successfully expanded its lead from 3-0 to 4-0.

After Xia Yuan completed the steal, he immediately passed the ball to McGinn.

McGinn made a long pass and hit it directly into the penalty area.

Then, El Gachi overpowered two central defenders to complete a header!

When the score reached 4-0, the suspense of the game was completely gone.

And the score of 4-0 was also the score of the last two teams.

Although this was just an ordinary Premier League game, due to Manchester City's home draw with Wolves, Aston Villa successfully rose to the first place in the Premier League standings!

At the same time, Aston Villa is also the only team in the Premier League that has won all the games.

In the locker room, when Aston Villa players heard that Manchester City had lost, they also held a small celebration ceremony. To be honest, Aston Villa has not topped the Premier League for decades.

After the game, a large number of English media also madly praised Aston Villa.

Sky Sports: "Aston Villa has won eight consecutive games! They have surpassed Manchester City and successfully topped the Premier League!"

Daily Mail: "The newly promoted team has become the league leader! Aston Villa is creating their own miracle!"

The Guardian: "The 17-year-old Chinese boy played a wonderful performance with 1 goal and 2 assists, helping the team beat Norwich away, and they finally topped the league after many years!"
