A defender retreating gave them hope.
As long as Huang Kaiwen slowed down to adjust, Yobo would have a chance.
Even if he couldn't take the ball, he could block Huang Kaiwen's shot.
However.
To their disappointment, Huang Kaiwen did not need to adjust at all.
He took two steps into the penalty area, swiftly lifted his lower leg, and pushed the back of the ball with the inside of his right foot.
Bang——
This time Huang Kaiwen's shot wasn't strong enough, Howard dove sideways immediately and touched the ball, altering its trajectory slightly, and it rolled diagonally into the bottom left corner of the goal.
Boom——
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
For the first time, the noise from the away fans' stands suppressed that of the home fans.
Chelsea fans, accustomed to Huang Kaiwen's efficiency, erupted completely after he performed a hat-trick.
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
"Kevin Goal!"
"The way Kevin played today is very un-Kevin."
