Cesc Fabregas' pass was brilliant.
The ball sailed perfectly through the midfield, landing right at Su Luo's feet. Once again, the connection between Fabregas and Su Luo was on full display.
The entire stadium at Stamford Bridge went silent with tension. Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans watched anxiously.
But no one was more nervous than Arsenal's coach, Arsène Wenger. The moment Su Luo received the ball, Wenger knew danger was imminent.
He yelled frantically at his defenders: "Defend! Defend!!"
"What are you doing? Focus on him! Don't give him any space!"
"Stop Su Luo's shot at all costs!!"
But it was too late.
In the next instant, Su Luo struck with his right foot.
Su Luo's individual skill was exceptional. His quick footwork and sharp movement left the defenders scrambling. Despite multiple Arsenal defenders converging on him—Xhaka, Ramsey, and Bellerin—they couldn't stop him.
Su Luo accelerated with the ball.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, freezing the defenders, only to burst forward again in the next second. Using quick stops and sharp bursts of speed, Su Luo sliced through the defense like a knife through butter.
This was Su Luo at his best.
The Chelsea fans erupted in applause and cheers as Su Luo pushed the ball forward.
But the challenge wasn't over. Two of Arsenal's central defenders, Mustafi and Koscielny, stepped in to block Su Luo's path.
However, Su Luo didn't hesitate. Without missing a beat, he powered forward, forcing his way through their challenge like a charging bull.
At that moment, Su Luo was unstoppable. His physical presence and speed were simply too much for Arsenal to handle.
The Arsenal players could only look on in shock.
But Arsenal wasn't giving up just yet. Monreal, another central defender, saw his opportunity. Reacting quickly, he lunged in with a slide tackle, aiming to stop Su Luo at the last possible second.
Su Luo saw Monreal's move out of the corner of his eye. Without thinking, he nudged the ball just out of reach, avoiding the tackle.
Monreal's challenge missed the ball, but his body collided heavily with Su Luo.
The referee immediately blew his whistle and rushed over to the spot of the foul, pulling out a yellow card for Monreal.
More importantly, Chelsea had earned a penalty.
"It's a clear penalty!" the commentator Zhan Jun exclaimed. "No doubt about it!"
"And now, it looks like Su Luo is going to take the penalty!"
Sure enough, Su Luo stepped up to the penalty spot, ready to finish what he started.
