At the moment Su Luo took the shot,
Joe Hart immediately reacted with a quick move to interfere.
He reached out with his right hand and successfully deflected the ball away.
It was a world-class save.
Up in the stands at Stamford Bridge,
Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans were filled with disappointment.
They couldn't believe Joe Hart had managed to make such a difficult save.
It was truly unbelievable.
But the game went on.
Chelsea's players clearly controlled the tempo from that point on.
They were desperate to equalize the score as quickly as possible.
As for West Ham United, who had already taken the lead—
Their top priority was to defend and maintain the current 2–1 scoreline.
Even though Chelsea had some terrifying individual talents,
The ten outfield players of West Ham were brimming with confidence.
They believed that—
As long as they ran hard and defended with everything they had,
Chelsea could be stopped from getting another goal.
And for a while,
West Ham indeed didn't give Chelsea any real chances.
But then...
When the game clock hit the 60th minute,
Chelsea, playing at home, finally revealed their killer instinct.
It was clear the team had started playing in full gear.
In the center of midfield,
After receiving the ball, Fabregas didn't hesitate.
He immediately displayed his excellent footwork,
Making multiple quick direction changes in a row,
Easily bypassing several defenders.
At the moment he took control,
Three West Ham United players closed in on him:
Masuaku, Noble, and Zabaleta!
To be fair, all three were solid defenders.
But even so—
They couldn't get the ball off Fabregas when he got serious.
In the blink of an eye,
Fabregas used a beautiful Marseille turn to glide past Masuaku and Noble.
Then, just as Zabaleta lunged in with a sliding tackle—
Fabregas suddenly sent a crisp pass to Su Luo in the center.
Back in the stands at Stamford Bridge,
The Chelsea fans erupted in cheers.
This was exactly the moment they had been waiting for!
Su Luo's form was phenomenal tonight.
After receiving the ball,
He immediately charged into the opponent's penalty area.
Naturally, as the defending side,
West Ham's backline sprang into full alert mode.
The first to respond was Ogbonna.
Known for his speed and physical strength,
Ogbonna didn't waste time with Su Luo.
He went in straight away for a physical challenge.
But—Su Luo was still Su Luo.
His footwork was razor-sharp.
With a quick flick of his left foot,
He smashed the ball past Ogbonna and blew by him!
It was a perfect display of Su Luo's personal brilliance.
No matter how tightly he was marked,
Defenders always seemed to be a step too slow against him.
After getting past Ogbonna,
Two more defenders, Cresswell and Declan Rice, appeared in front of him.
There's no denying it—
Every defender on West Ham knew just how dangerous Su Luo could be with the ball at his feet...
