The 79th minute of the match.
Shakhtar Donetsk's five-forward lineup was quickly punished.
After Douglas Costa's shot went wide, Fabianski, at Varane's signal, quickly threw the ball out.
After receiving the ball, Varane faced the pressing Luiz without hesitation and sent a long pass to the right side of the midfield.
Sagna received the ball and sprinted forward, sending a through pass to Walcott just past the halfway line.
Because Sagna gave the ball with a certain lead, Walcott easily controlled the ball and dribbled it forward.
In short-distance duels within 30 meters, in today's football world, except for Fly, Walcott can absolutely dominate anyone, remember, *anyone*.
Currently, Bale at Tottenham and Robben at Bayern, when compared to Walcott in terms of absolute speed, are definitely not his opponents.
The only person who can handle him is still his teammate. What else could Walcott be if not invincible?
Rakitskiy, facing Walcott's unreasonable speed impact, could only be completely overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Fly on the other side had already rushed to the front field a step ahead of Walcott.
For a moment, Shakhtar Donetsk's entire defensive line was completely left behind by Walcott and Fly, who were on the left and right respectively. Van Persie, running desperately in the middle, couldn't keep up with the pace of these two speed demons.
After entering the penalty area, Walcott faced the charging Piatov, flicking his ankle slightly, and the football quickly rolled two meters in front of Piatov towards the other side of the goal.
Fly, who had already advanced into position, faced the wide-open goal and easily pushed the ball into the net.
4:2, Arsenal has almost secured the victory!
"Sagna's through pass, this ball was given with a bit too much lead... No, I misspoke, not too much. If this lead was given to an average player, it would be too much."
"But this is Walcott! This lead is just right for Little Tiger!"
"Walcott accelerates, dribbles, forces his way past, Rakitskiy was ruthlessly overpowered by Walcott."
"Oh, my goodness, look at our viewing angle. Looking down from above the stadium, Arsenal's left and right flanks are far ahead, and Shakhtar Donetsk's entire defensive line has been left behind."
"This is simply a spectacle!"
"Piatov comes out, but he is facing not just Walcott, but also Fly, who is even faster than him."
"Walcott unselfishly passes horizontally, Fly pushes into an empty net, 4:2, Arsenal secures the victory!"
Almost at the same time that Fly scored the second goal, the Spartak Stadium erupted in thunderous boos.
Fly would not indulge these people's bad habits. He directly raised four fingers with his right hand and placed one finger from his left hand in front of his mouth, signaling them to shut up.
This extremely provocative behavior immediately ignited the scene.
Fans in Eastern Europe are inherently hot-tempered, and the constant unrest has made the people here particularly prone to impulse.
For a time, numerous voices insulting Fly emerged from the stands, and some hot-tempered fans directly threw things onto the field.
In an instant, the left corner flag area where Fly was celebrating the goal was filled with garbage.
There were plastic bottles, food, and Fly was even almost hit in the face by a bra that flew out of nowhere...
Shakhtar Donetsk's players were also enraged by Fly's provocative action, especially since they had almost lost this match and their Champions League group stage ranking was almost certainly out of contention for first place, making their anger even harder to suppress.
"Kid, show some respect! This is Ukraine, not a place for you to be arrogant!"
Srna, the former Croatian captain before Modric, immediately ran up to Fly and lectured him.
Rat and Hübschman also came along to cause trouble for Fly.
As Fly's good brother, Wilshere immediately rushed up and got tangled with Srna.
The unruly Van Persie, when his teammates were being surrounded, did not stand by and watch, but instead used his Dutchman's "fighting talent" and clashed with Rat.
The Main Referee, seeing the situation escalating, blew his whistle frantically and shouted, ordering all players to disperse. The other referees also helped to pull everyone apart.
Varane, meanwhile, pulled Fly aside and used his tall body to block the Shakhtar Donetsk players who were coming to cause trouble.
When Wenger saw this scene, he became anxious and quickly signaled the Fourth Official for substitutions. Hazard replaced Fly, and defender Eboue replaced Walcott.
The Arsène Wenger was preparing to protect the outcome of the match and started stacking defensive players.
Shakhtar Donetsk's head coach had no choice but to continue bringing on forward players.
For a time, Shakhtar Donetsk directly deployed a six-forward lineup!
However, after Fly scored Arsenal's fourth goal of the match, Shakhtar Donetsk's players' mentality had already collapsed.
Shakhtar Donetsk's head coach shouted loudly from the sidelines, but they either couldn't hear or chose to selectively ignore him.
For the remaining time in the match, Shakhtar Donetsk had no other attacking method than constantly bombing Arsenal's penalty area with crosses from the flanks.
Fortunately, Arsenal adopted a five-defender formation at the crucial moment and managed to hold on.
Finally, with Hazard's counter-attack shot hitting the post, Arsenal secured a thrilling 4:2 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk away from home.
There were quite a few highlights in this match.
Besides the twists and turns in the match itself, the physical attacks by Shakhtar Donetsk's home fans on Fly were also a major focus of media reports.
Especially the bra that almost flew into Fly's face, which was used as a headline image by many media outlets.
They used this bra, which appeared out of nowhere, to start talking about Taylor.
No choice! Because Taylor's popularity was sky-high during this period due to her new album, many media outlets, for the sake of selling points, directly dragged her, a non-involved party in the United States, into it.
Among them, the most outrageous report was by the familiar-looking The Sun: "Fly's Underground Lover Throws Bra to Show Affection? Declaring War on American Country Pop Princess Taylor Swift".
When Fly saw this news after the match while flying back to London, he wished he could tear The Sun apart.
What is this? Why are you, this dog B, setting the rhythm again!
Are you unhappy seeing Li doing well and deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?
Fortunately, as a famous singer, Taylor was very aware of the media's nature and did not question Fly about this matter.
However, Fly still called his girlfriend and proactively talked about the matter.
After all, just because Taylor didn't care didn't mean Fly could take it for granted and not treat it seriously.
Regarding her boyfriend's explanation, Taylor just smiled and told Fly not to overthink it, saying she trusted her beloved very much.
Then Taylor mentioned that she was very busy during this time and told Fly to take good care of himself, promising to Fly to London to be with him once she was done.
Through the tone of his girlfriend's voice, Fly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Taylor genuinely didn't take it to heart.
So he quickly promised to tell her the time of her flight's arrival in London and that he would pick her up even if he had something else to do.
Taylor giggled a few times and made the arrangement with Fly.
But the naive Fly didn't know that this was just Taylor's feint... Relax? For Taylor, she only trusts her own eyes.
Especially in matters of romantic relationships, Taylor is very sensitive. To make her truly feel at ease, it might be difficult even after getting married.
If she weren't sensitive to emotions, Taylor wouldn't have written so many songs about love.
One can only say that Fly still didn't understand his girlfriend well enough and trusted a woman's words too much, especially when that woman is a strong woman like Taylor.

November 7th.
In the eleventh round of the Premier League, Arsenal hosted Newcastle United.
The Magpies had just been defeated by Arsenal 4:1 in the English League Cup a few days prior.
However, both teams used their reserve and youth players in that match. This Premier League match would certainly feature both sides' full starting lineups.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone, and welcome to the eleventh round of the 2010-2011 English Premier League. The match today is between the home team Arsenal and the visiting Newcastle United."
"Now let's take a look at the starting lineups for both teams."
"The home team Arsenal is using a 4-4-2 formation for this match."
"Goalkeeper: Fabianski."
"Defenders: Sagna, Varane, Koscielny, Clichy."
"Midfielders: Alexandre Song, Wilshere, Fabregas, Nasri."
"Forwards: Fly, Walcott."
"The away team Newcastle United is also using a 4-4-2 formation for this match."
"Goalkeeper: Tim Krul."
"Defenders: Williamson, Danny Simpson, José Enrique, Coloccini."
"Midfielders: Tioté, Jonás Gutiérrez, Joey Barton, Kevin Nolan."
"Forwards: Andy Carroll, Ameobi."
"Alright, the Main Referee has blown the whistle to start the match. The home team Arsenal will kick off first. Let's get into the match..."
Newcastle United's performance this season has been average, safe from relegation but with no hope of European competition.
They are currently ranked exactly in the middle, tenth place in the Premier League, neither high nor low, just right.
Facing a team with neither much pressure nor much motivation, Fly originally thought this match would be very easy to play.
But he didn't expect Newcastle United's players not to be complacent because of the team's current situation.
After all, less than a third of the League season has passed, and the current ranking doesn't necessarily reflect the final ranking.
Facing Newcastle United's style of play, which was like that of young bulls similar to Liverpool, Fly could only resort to his usual dodging.
Before his strength and stamina were significantly enhanced by his cheat, Fly would absolutely not engage in too many unnecessary physical contacts and expenditures with the players on the field.
He had to save his stamina for when he was most needed.
The 18th minute of the match.
Walcott received a through pass from Fabregas, took a large touch, forced his way past the defender towards the inside, and was ultimately stopped by Newcastle United defender José Enrique with a sliding tackle.
The 21st minute of the match.
Facing Newcastle United's counter-attack, Clichy went forward and pulled Kevin Nolan with his hand, receiving a yellow card from the referee.
The 26th minute of the match.
Fly dropped back and played a one-two wall pass with Wilshere. Wilshere then received the through pass, entered the penalty area, and took a shot, which was saved by Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul.
The 30th minute of the match.
Alexandre Song took a long shot from outside the penalty area, about 30 meters from the goal, but unfortunately, he didn't keep it down, and the ball flew directly into the stands.
The 33rd minute of the match.
Wilshere completed another one-two wall pass with Fly, but this time Wilshere was pulled down by Newcastle United defensive midfielder Tioté before he could accelerate, and the Main Referee showed the latter a yellow card.
Only 30 minutes into the match, the Main Referee had already shown one yellow card to Arsenal and one to Newcastle United.
From this, it can be seen that the referee officiating today was very strict and the punishment for fouls was very severe.
Of course, a referee with such strict enforcement was undoubtedly beneficial to Arsenal.
Because Arsenal is a technical team, they are most afraid of opponents committing mindless fouls, completely disrupting Arsenal's rhythm into a tangled mess.
This strict Main Referee could just limit the opponents' rough fouls and ensure that Arsenal could smoothly execute their tactical play.
