After the failure of the previous attack, it was unsurprising that Everton didn't hesitate to continue pressing forward in search of another opportunity to attack Chelsea's goal.
Only five minutes passed,
And Everton's second wave of offense arrived successfully.
This time,
Everton's attack was noticeably sharper and more dangerous than before.
It's worth mentioning that,
The player leading the charge had changed—from Lennon to Sigurdsson.
Although Sigurdsson doesn't possess the absolute speed advantage that Lennon has, his physical strength is explosive, and his impact on the game can be terrifying!
In no time at all,
Sigurdsson skillfully broke through Chelsea's defense with sheer determination and strength.
It didn't take long!
Through his tenacious individual effort, Sigurdsson reached the top of the penalty area.
From this position, Sigurdsson had the perfect opportunity to shoot directly!
And as it turns out,
He immediately unleashed a powerful volley!
Simple.
Direct.
No hesitation.
The fans in the stadium erupted into excitement.
The ball rocketed forward like a bullet, soaring perfectly into the top corner of the goal—an unstoppable strike.
The score was now 3–2.
Everton, playing at home, had finally found hope.
Every Everton fan began to believe, deep in their hearts, that the suspense of this match might belong to them after all.
Now,
The gap between the two teams was reduced to just one goal, and the pressure began to shift toward the Chelsea players.
Time was running out.
Chelsea needed to hold on or find a way to respond quickly.
On the Chelsea sideline,
Head coach Antonio Conte's expression remained calm and confident.
He didn't seem rattled by the recent goal conceded. In fact, he appeared completely in control.
The reason was simple:
Conte, the head coach, had complete faith in the strength of his team.
He knew the capabilities of every Chelsea player like the back of his hand.
In his opinion,
As long as the superstar Su Luo was on the pitch, no opponent could easily defeat Chelsea!
And as it turned out,
Conte's confidence wasn't misplaced.
As the match continued,
Chelsea began to regain control of the game.
It's undeniable—
When Su Luo decides to take the game seriously, very few players can stop him.
This moment was no exception.
After Su Luo received the ball in midfield, the Everton players instantly recognized the danger.
Within seconds,
Multiple Everton defenders rushed to block Su Luo, closing him down with lightning speed.
But at this critical moment,
Su Luo made a passing motion.
With a deft touch of his right foot, Su Luo delivered a perfectly timed pass!
In an instant,
The ball sliced through Everton's defensive line, completely dismantling their structure.
The next moment,
The ball arrived at Pedro's feet.
Without a doubt,
This was a golden opportunity to score!
After receiving the ball, Pedro wasted no time and showcased his impressive speed.
With a series of quick direction changes, he left Everton's defenders scrambling to react.
At the same time,
Most of the Everton players remained focused on Su Luo, giving Pedro the space he needed to exploit the situation.
