Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!

In front of the goal, Van Persie and goalkeeper Rudy were almost at eye level.

Rudy blocked Van Persie's shooting angle and quickly moved towards him.

If Van Persie doesn't handle this soon, he won't even have a chance to shoot.

Just then, the Dutch striker suddenly flicked the ball with the back of his right foot, sending it arcing through the air and past the goalkeeper.

2: 1!

We've finally overtaken them!

Sun Ke excitedly pumped his fist; scoring a goal was just too difficult!

After scoring, Van Persie excitedly rushed to the sidelines, pumping his fists.

At that moment, the entire away team's stand erupted in cheers.

It has to be said that in crucial moments, you still have to rely on a sharpshooter!

Robin van Persie has been absolutely top-class this season. Whether he's in good form or not, he can score in crucial moments!

On the sidelines, Wenger waved his arms excitedly.

Norwich's coach yelled from the sidelines, "They fouled before they even scored!"

"Why continue the match?"

Just like Norwich's previous goal, the referee ignored his appeal.

This match was a tough one for Arsenal, but the players' performance was very encouraging for him.

The game restarted, and Norwich substituted center Holt for Hollahan, who had just been dispossessed by Sun Ke.

Like Southampton's Lambert, Holt is getting on in years, but his career is only just beginning to take off.

The probability of a player like that making it to the Premier League is as rare as the story of Vardy.

Unexpectedly, after Holt joined Norwich, he scored more than 20 goals in two consecutive seasons, and followed Norwich all the way to the Premier League.

According to Sun Ke's recollection, Holt still scored 15 goals this season, which can be considered a comeback in his career.

Holt wasn't very tall, but he was very stocky, with an exceptionally thick neck that made it look like he had no neck at all.

After the substitution, Norwich's formation changed to 4-4-2.

Their tactics also changed from ground attacks to high-altitude bombing.

However, the current Arsenal is no longer in a position where I'm half-defeated just because you're taller.

Silva looks half a size thinner than Holt, but he's not at a disadvantage at all, and he's physically stronger.

Sun Ke's task is to use his superb anticipation skills to win the second ball and then pass it to his teammates.

In the 76th minute, Wenger substituted Arshavin for Gervin.

"The Tsar" almost provided an assist right from the start, passing the ball to the middle, where Arteta's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper.

A minute later, Arsenal launched another counter-attack, and Arshavin's shot was saved by Rudy.

Norwich's squad is indeed impressive, with players ranging from strikers to goalkeepers.

But they were still too inexperienced against Arsenal.

In the 86th minute, Holt, who had no answer for Silva, dived in the penalty area, received a yellow card and yelled, almost getting sent off.

Wenger then substituted Vermaelen for the exhausted Walcott.

Arsenal unusually parked their bus.

After some back and forth, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the match.

Arsenal secured a crucial victory away from home after a hard-fought match.

In the most crucial stage, every point lost could potentially cause incalculable damage.

In the post-match press conference, the Norwich manager believed that Arsenal had committed a foul before scoring the winning goal.

"Arsenal are very strong, but we had a good chance after the international break, and that's exactly what happened."

"We scored the first goal, and the opponents showed great determination. They scored two goals despite not being in good form."

"I know our opponents might mention our goal, and I don't want to complain, but I think we should get points at home."

Wenger had no intention of arguing with him and only briefly mentioned the matter.

The old man said he gets a headache whenever there is an international match day: "If a player gets injured while playing for the national team, that's a real headache."

"I always hope that the players can come back healthy."

"I don't think national team matches will disrupt our rhythm, but it's always a bit difficult for players to regain their club form after national team matches."

"I'm glad we've made it through the most difficult phase."

In other matches of the same round, Manchester United scored a goal and then began to play a slow and drawn-out game, eventually wearing down Swansea.

Manchester City defeated Newcastle 3-1 at home, bringing their record to 11 wins and 1 draw in the first twelve rounds.

This is absolutely invincible!

If Manchester City doesn't have to play in the Champions League this season, they could probably win the title in four or five rounds if they continue playing at this pace.

This Manchester City team is aiming for fourth to eighth place in the Champions League.

However, this team, which has been constantly making signings every season, is still in the process of gelling together, and most of the players they have acquired have no championship experience.

If they suffer setbacks in the Champions League, their ability to adjust is certainly not as strong as that of Championship giants like Manchester United, and they may not be as strong as Arsenal either.

Manchester City are somewhat invincible this season. To bring them down, you have to follow them closely and patiently wait for them to make mistakes.

Among the title contenders, Chelsea lost 1-2 at home to Liverpool and were overtaken by Tottenham in the standings, now sitting in sixth place.

This defeat means that, barring a miracle, Chelsea's title challenge for this season is over.

They were forced to switch to the "Four-Point" mode.

Sun Ke recalled that Chelsea played terribly in the Premier League this season, but still managed to win the Champions League trophy that their owners had been longing for.

Due to Manchester City's strong performance, the other teams have been forced to start their title race much earlier.

After the match, Ferguson mentioned Arsenal again.

This time, however, the old man not only refrained from making sarcastic remarks but also praised Arsenal.

Sir Alex Ferguson stated that after strengthening the defense, Arsenal has assembled its strongest squad in recent seasons.

"If there was an element of luck in them taking a point against us, then Arsenal now has the strength to contend for the title."

"Arsena's coaching ability is beyond doubt; his team won a very crucial game."

"Our second round will determine the championship outcome."

Hearing Sir Alex Ferguson say that, you know that the match between Arsenal and Manchester City is getting closer.

That old man is wicked; he's always stirring things up, trying to get everyone to stop Manchester City.

When it comes to scheming, the red-nosed old man is definitely a British master.

Despite Sir Alex Ferguson's seemingly magnanimous demeanor, Manchester United actually only lost one game in the league.

The fact that they are ranked lower than Arsenal is simply because they drew two more games.

Ferguson was eager to have a psychological battle with Mancini, but the Manchester City manager simply wouldn't take the bait.

Every time Ferguson wanted to start a war, Mancini would always say that he respected Ferguson very much, leaving the old man in a dilemma of whether to do it or not.

Mancini had a fiery temper as a player, but he matured quickly as a head coach.

Although his coaching skills were far inferior to those of Ferguson and Wenger, he still left behind a considerable body of work.

After surviving this difficult round, Wenger faces another challenge.

Arsenal will host Borussia Dortmund on November 24.

They will face Fulham at home on November 27th.

The two matches are only three days apart, but Arsenal need to secure first place in their Champions League group this month.

Marseille, who finished second in the group, managed to defeat both Borussia Dortmund and Olympiacos, except for Arsenal.

Although Borussia Dortmund's performance in the Champions League this season has been unexpectedly poor, no one knows if they will suddenly unleash their full potential, especially since even Bayern Munich couldn't handle them last season.

Arsenal must get points in this match. If they lose to Dortmund this round and Marseille wins, Arsenal will have to be extremely careful in the last round next month.

And next month there's the grueling Christmas schedule in the Premier League, so things might just collapse.

Therefore, Wenger made a decision to make only minor rotations in the next two matches.

This presents a considerable challenge for Arsenal, whose players are already struggling with physical fitness.

Time flies.

Four days later, Arsenal welcomed Borussia Dortmund to the Emirates Stadium.
