After this goal, Lambert also tried substitutions to attack Everton's defense in an attempt to equalize the score.
But the appearance of Xia Ze and Lukaku put a lot of pressure on the opponent's defense. After Martinez stabilized the situation, he also replaced Pienaar with Gibson to strengthen the control of the midfield and not give Villa too many opportunities to counterattack.
The players of the Villa team seemed to have lost the confidence to compete with Everton. In the next 20 minutes, Xia Ze sorted out and firmly controlled the situation on the field. In the end, Everton scored 1-0. A small away victory over Aston Villa, advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
This is the furthest Everton has gone in the FA Cup in recent years, and Xia Ze is undoubtedly the first to contribute.
He came off the bench for 30 minutes in the FA Cup quarter-final and immediately turned things around, winning the game and becoming the winner.
Through this game, his position in the Everton team has become more stable, and the whole team has more trust in him.
The media and fans were surprised to find that he played all 5 games for Everton in March. In these 5 games, Everton won 5 consecutive victories. Xia Ze was directly involved in every game. team goal.
Either he breaks the goal or assists his teammates to score. In short, he is the key to the team's victory in every game.
Unknowingly, people found that he became a strong contender for the Premier League's Player of the Month in March.
There are still many people who performed equally well this month, but those who can compete with him for the best player of the month award are nothing more than those three or four.
Arsenal's Ozil helped the Gunners achieve a record of 3 wins and 1 tie in the league in March, and made great contributions to the team's competition for the Champions League seat.
Although Arsenal were eliminated again in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with their outstanding performance in the league this month, they still quietly climbed to the third place in the league standings, surpassing their rival Manchester United.
Chelsea's Hazard helped the Blues achieve four consecutive victories in the Premier League in March. As the offensive engine of the entire team, he scored 3 goals and assisted 2 times for the team, which can be said to be impressive.
With four consecutive victories, Chelsea also surpassed Manchester City by 1 point in the Premier League standings, taking a slight lead in the championship battle.
Manchester City, ranked second in the league, had a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in March.
The top position in the standings was also snatched by Chelsea.
The only game the team lost happened to be the one in which midfielder Yaya Toure was suspended for accumulating yellow cards. In the other three games, Yaya Toure scored to help the team win. It was precisely because of that suspension that the team lost the game that Yaya Toure's role in Manchester City's formation was undoubtedly revealed.
These three midfielders are Xia Ze's most powerful contenders for the best player in March. Apart from the four of them, there are also outstanding players in other teams, such as Wayne Rooney, who gradually helped Manchester United out of the slump.
However, the performance of these people this month has never been able to compare with Xia Ze and the others.
After the end of the last round of the league, the media speculated that the best player of the month will be born among these 4 people. What's more interesting is that in the last league game in March, the clubs of these four players will fight each other.
Manchester City hosts Chelsea, while Everton also hosts Arsenal against the Gunners.
The British media dubbed the two eye-catching matchups in this round as "the battle of the month".
For viewership, the Premier League has scheduled both games on Saturday, with the first match between Manchester City and Chelsea at the top of the table, and the evening match between Everton and Arsenal for the Champions League place.
Although Everton ranks 7th in the Premier League and Arsenal ranks 3rd, the points gap between the two teams is only 6 points. If Everton wins this game, it will put itself with the top four. The gap has narrowed, and the Champions League seats are not out of reach.
March 29th, Sunday, the British media had been promoting this round of competition as early as a week ago, and the battle between Manchester City and Chelsea for the top spot was even more important for them to promote.
In the first double-blue battle, Manchester City played against Chelsea at home. The two sides fought fiercely for 90 minutes, and finally shook hands 1-1.
Chelsea maintained a slight lead of 1 point, and the away draw is not weaker than their Manchester City, which is good news for Mourinho's team.
However, Hazard and Yaya Toure, the two favorites of the month, seemed to restrain each other in this game, which resulted in their unsatisfactory performance and failed to show their ability to control the situation.
After they performed poorly and their team failed to win, the competition for the best of the month naturally fell on Xia Ze and Ozil.
Compared with Ozil's status as a world-class star, Xia Ze was just a player who was only slightly famous in the Portuguese Super League and China half a year ago.
It has only been two months since he came to the big stage of the Premier League, but these two months have allowed him to stand on an equal stage and compete with the world's No. Qier competed on the same stage, and had to lament Xia Ze's fate.
Because this game is quite critical for Everton, coupled with the pre-match media campaign, the tickets for the 40,000-seat Goodison Park Stadium were sold out as early as a few days before the start of the game.
Those fans who got the tickets were complacent, while those who didn't got the tickets were beating their heads and regretting endlessly.
The game will start at 4 pm, and only in the afternoon, a large number of Everton fans gathered outside Goodison Park, and some Arsenal fans came from London, but this small number of Arsenal fans , Soon drowned in the voices of Everton fans.
The number of fans gathered outside the stadium is far more than 40,000. It can be seen that there are still many fans who want to experience the atmosphere before the war.
The wines around the stadium, which rely on the game day to survive, also opened their doors to welcome visitors, a bustling scene.
Newsstands outside the stadium sell game day brochures, and there are also vendors selling various souvenirs and brochures for fans to buy to commemorate the game.
There were also some hurried-looking fans who kept asking fans around to see if it was possible to get a ticket, even at a hefty price tag.
Among the tens of thousands of fans, many of them were wearing Xia Ze’s No. 20 jersey at Everton. After being out of stock several times, Xia Ze’s jersey sales can undoubtedly rank among the top ten in the Premier League jersey sales list .
And the one that shines with it is Arsenal Ozil's No. 11 jersey. Thousands of Arsenal fans who came from afar seem to be interested in supporting Ozil to win this month's best contest. So almost half of Arsenal's fans are wearing the No. 11 jersey, and the scene is quite spectacular.
There is no doubt that after the top game, this game is the most eye-catching matchup in the eyes of all fans in England. Many broadcasting agencies broadcast this game.
The much-anticipated battle for the best of the month will begin at Goodison Park. c
