Like Howard's save, Lloris's world-class save also stunned the fans in the entire stadium. After being taken aback for a while, there was endless applause from the audience.

After Xia Zeshi's sure-to-get shot was saved by Loris, he lost his mind for a little bit, but he reacted immediately and couldn't help clapping.

This save is really beautiful.

"Xia Ze is very good in both passing and shooting. This shot is actually impeccable. But Lloris's save is even more exciting. I am a little confused now. Is it Howard's save just now or Lloris' current save? What's more exciting? Haha." The scene was so exciting that Redknapp couldn't help joking.

"No matter which goalkeeper's save is actually deserved. And Xia Ze applauding the opponent's goalkeeper, it is even more general." Gary Neville looked at Xia Ze who was applauding in the screen, from another Explain from an angle.

"Yes, although the two goalkeepers conceded the goal in this game, the responsibility is not on them. Their performance today is good enough to deserve the applause of the fans and the players." Les Ferdinand also agreed with the two remarks from a partner.

Amidst the praise of several commentators, Everton took a corner kick, and Lloris once again saved Lukaku's header in front of the goal.

In the next 20 minutes, the game turned into a performance by the two goalkeepers. Lloris blocked Miralas' push, Baines' free kick, and Gibson's long-range shot. .

Every shot from Everton's side was tricky enough, but Lloris's save was even more exciting. Everton has been unable to break through the gate guarded by Lloris.

For Tottenham's offensive players, Howard is also an insurmountable mountain.

Although Harry Kane was in a hot state and succeeded in almost every matchup against Jagielka, he was unable to replicate the first goal after all, whether it was a header or a low shot from an angle. Hole through Howard's goal again.

The two sides played a big game, the defense was affected, and the fans were hooked, which made the two goalkeepers shine.

At about 70 minutes, Martinez and Pochettino made personnel adjustments. Naismith and Kone replaced Miralas and McGeedi respectively, and the three midfielders remained unchanged.

Tottenham used Townsend and Dell to replace Chadley and Dembele respectively.

After the two sides made substitutions, the competition in the midfield became more intense, and the time passed bit by bit. The game had quietly reached 80 minutes later.

In the 83rd minute, Harry Kane got the ball at the top of the penalty area. He turned around and passed Jagielka who was marking him.

Jagielka has suffered a lot from Harry Kane today, if Harry Kane is allowed to wipe it out, I am afraid it will be another tragedy.

So Jagielka did not hesitate to get started and directly pulled Harry Kane down.

Beep——

The referee immediately blew his whistle, and the Tottenham players immediately surrounded him and appealed to the referee.

Because Jagielka had already carried a yellow card before, if he gets a second yellow card, he will be sent off.

And the referee did not wait for the Tottenham players to appeal or Jagielka to explain, he took out two cards from his pocket, first showed a yellow card, then showed a red card, and sent Jagielka off the field.

Hum——

The entire Wembley Stadium, when Clattenburg showed a red card, there was a muffled sound. A second later, it turned into cheers from Tottenham fans.

Jagielka was sent off with a red card, Everton will play one less man, 10 against 11.

Although the game has come to the end now, if it enters overtime, the disadvantage of playing one less player will become the last straw that crushes Everton.

This is the premise that they can maintain a one-to-one score until the end of 90 minutes. Now Tottenham have got a direct free kick in an excellent position at the top of the penalty area. With Eriksson's free kick ability, it is difficult to guarantee that Everton will not lose the ball.

Eriksson's lore, Tottenham won 2-1. Such a scene has been staged countless times this season, and the inertia of history is often terrible.

"Sylvain, go warm up." After Jagielka was sent off, Martinez immediately called the veteran Distin on the bench to warm up.

Now that the team's central defender has been sent off, facing Tottenham's attacking group, it is necessary to replace it with a genuine central defender. Just who should be replaced?

The frontcourt Naismith and Kone are newly replaced and cannot be replaced. Lukaku is in excellent condition and is a bridgehead, unable to move.

As for the double midfielders Gibson and Barry, now that the team is behind, one of the midfielders cannot be taken away.

Thinking of this, Martinez set his eyes on Xia Ze.

In the commentary booth, Redknapp Jr. and the three of them were also discussing this issue.

"I think Xia Ze is likely to be replaced. Everton must maintain the balance of the formation and the frontcourt threat. Although Xia Ze made a few good kicks today, his state is obviously not as hot as the previous games. Naismith can also play in his position, and replacing him is the best choice."

"I agree with Gary. Although this Chinese kid is very talented, he may not be able to withstand the pressure at such a critical moment. He should be allowed to rest." Les Ferdinand echoed Gary Neville's statement.

"But let's take a look at Tottenham's free kick first. Maybe this goal will kill the game." Redknapp Jr. brought the topic back to the game.

Tottenham's direct free kick opportunity, Eriksson took a direct shot, the ball crossed the wall, bent a wonderful arc, and also crossed Howard's ten fingers, but failed to cross the post, but hit heavily on the goal. On the doorpost, popped out.

There was an uproar in the audience, and Eriksson also covered his face and sighed. Tottenham missed a good opportunity for a lore.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Everton launched a counterattack. Kone's breakthrough in the frontcourt won a direct free kick on the right side outside the penalty area.

This opportunity is also possible to shoot directly, and it is especially suitable for the left foot.

This is undoubtedly Baines's opportunity.

In the 86th minute of the game, Everton took a free kick, and Distin was already standing on the sidelines ready to play.

"Coach, wait first, change after this free kick!" Xia Ze also realized that he might be changing himself, and shouted at Martinez on the sidelines.

And the camera just happened to be given to him, broadcasting his spoken language clearly.

"Is this kid joking? Did he think he could score this free kick? If he misses the timing and makes Everton lose, he will become a sinner." Les Ferdinand was stunned, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing stand up.

As we all know, Baines is Everton's number one free kick shooter, and his free kick skills can also be ranked first in the Premier League.

It's too ridiculous for Xia Ze to use this as an excuse because he doesn't want to end the game!

Les Ferdinand shook his head and smiled wryly, while Redknapp Jr. was also a little surprised.

But what surprised them even more was that Martinez actually agreed.

The substitution did not take place immediately, but was prepared to change after the free kick was sent. c
