Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Three To One! Tottenham's Morale Is Up!
Tottenham, now playing at home, had established a lead.
This was absolutely unacceptable for Chelsea, who were away.
Chelsea had no choice—they needed to attack!
They had to equalize the score as soon as possible, and ideally, take the lead.
At this moment, Su Luo received the ball but was immediately surrounded by several Tottenham defenders.
Three of them: Wanyama, Eriksen, and Dembele.
The three Tottenham midfielders closed in on Su Luo at the same time!
Seeing this, Su Luo made a quick decision.
Instead of trying to dribble past them, he suddenly stopped and executed a precise long pass.
In an instant, the ball landed perfectly on Morata's head!
This was a golden opportunity for the Chelsea striker.
Morata, standing at 190 cm tall, might not have the physicality of Lukaku, but he was more than capable of playing as his substitute.
Su Luo's pass was pinpoint accurate.
Despite being challenged by two central defenders, Morata managed to get his head on the ball.
Unfortunately, Morata's header lacked power and direction.
For Tottenham's goalkeeper, Lloris, it was an easy save.
Lloris didn't waste any time. Right after collecting the ball, he launched a quick counterattack with a long pass, finding Harry Kane in the front.
As Tottenham's star striker, Kane easily won the aerial duel.
Then, without hesitation, Kane passed the ball to Dele Alli in midfield.
Alli took the ball and unleashed a stunning long-range shot!
With incredible power, the ball flew towards Chelsea's goal like a cannonball.
It was a dangerous strike!
In a flash, the ball rocketed into the top corner of the net.
The score was rewritten.
Tottenham had extended their lead to 3-1!
It looked like victory for Tottenham was all but certain.
However, for Chelsea, time was running out.
On the touchline, Conte was starting to get anxious!
The Chelsea manager rushed to the edge of the field, shouting urgently at his players:
"Attack! Everyone forward! We need to score!"
Once again, Chelsea began to press for a goal, throwing everything they had at Tottenham.
At this critical moment, they turned to Su Luo, relying on his individual brilliance.
There was no denying it—Su Luo's talent and strength were truly remarkable.
This time, Su Luo received the ball in midfield. His dribbling skills were exceptional, though Tottenham's defenders quickly surrounded him.
In a flash, Ben Davies, Dele Alli, and Wanyama closed in on him.
Their defensive focus was intense, giving Su Luo no room to pass.
But Su Luo remained calm.
Using the legendary ball control of Ronaldinho, it seemed as if the ball was glued to Su Luo's right foot. Despite the pressure from all three Tottenham players, Su Luo managed to escape their grasp with ease.
With quick footwork and smooth moves, Su Luo broke free from their triple-team.
Then, he launched a long pass straight to Cesc Fabregas!
At that moment, Fabregas had also joined the attack. His skill was undeniable as he easily controlled the ball inside Tottenham's penalty area.
Without hesitation, Fabregas made a sharp pass to Morata!
This was a prime opportunity for Morata to score!
Morata had several chances in the game so far, but his finishing had been disappointing.
Unfortunately, this attempt was no different.
Morata's shot soared way over the crossbar!
"This shot is absolutely dreadful!" commented the match's commentator, his face full of disbelief.
"I've lost count of how many chances Morata has wasted... If I were Conte, I'd be looking to make a substitution."
In no time, the first half was over.
As Zhan Jun mentioned, at the start of the second half, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte made a tactical change.
Lukaku came on to replace Morata!
Though Lukaku wasn't always the most clinical striker, he was still a major improvement over Morata in this match.
Not long after the substitution, Chelsea found another chance to attack.
Once again, it was Su Luo at the heart of it.
This time, he received a precise pass from Fabregas in the final third. Without wasting any time, Su Luo accelerated!
Su Luo's speed and power were incredible. Even though Tottenham's defenders, including Trippier and Wanyama, gave it their all, Su Luo's control and pace were flawless.
He performed an emergency stop, then suddenly exploded forward again!
At that moment, Su Luo seemed like the incarnation of The Flash—his movement too fast for anyone to react.
Wanyama didn't even have time to make a challenge before Su Luo had already slipped past him with ease.
In an instant, Su Luo was one-on-one with Toby Alderweireld.
Toby knew just how dangerous Su Luo was. He couldn't afford to let him get any closer.
Toby made a decisive tackle!
But Su Luo was one step ahead. With a swift flick of his right foot, he chipped the ball over Toby's challenge.
Su Luo surged forward, now facing Tottenham's penalty area all by himself.
Seeing Su Luo break through his midfield defense so effortlessly, Tottenham manager Pochettino was visibly shaken.
But he still shouted desperately from the sidelines, "DEFENSE!! Don't let him shoot!"
Unfortunately for Pochettino, it was too late.
Su Luo unleashed a shot with the force of Haaland's power behind it.
In an instant, the ball flew like a rocket towards the top corner of the goal.
It was unstoppable.
Even though Hugo Lloris was Tottenham's goalkeeper tonight, he couldn't match the speed of Su Luo's shot.
The ball hit the back of the net before Lloris could even react.
