Under the night sky of North London—
An overwhelming wave of euphoria surged above the Emirates Stadium!
Nearly sixty thousand Arsenal fans leapt from their seats in unison!
A tidal wave of deafening roars instantly erupted!
"GOOOAAALLL!!!"
"It's happened! He really did it!"
"That's his 34th goal of the season!"
"Kai has matched Alan Shearer!"
"He now stands as the Premier League's new goal-scoring record holder!!"
The commentary box exploded into chaos!
A stunning curling shot from the edge of the box!
1–0!!
"No one can stop him! No one!!"
"This is the King of the Emirates!"
"The ultimate Gunner, whom Arsenal fans would follow to the ends of the earth!!"
The commentators roared with passion.
Thousands upon thousands of fans screamed in ecstasy from the stands, sending a shockwave rippling toward the center of the pitch!
On the away end, the faces of Manchester United fans turned ashen.
They simply couldn't believe it.
They had conceded… so quickly.
The joyous thunder of the Emirates felt like a dagger to United supporters' ears.
With years of bad blood and rivalry between the two clubs—
The fans were always at each other's throats.
But tonight…
It was United who suffered first.
On the sidelines, Wenger pumped his fist in triumph.
He turned and hugged assistant coach Rice tightly, both men unable to contain their emotions.
On the pitch—
The Arsenal players were no different—beaming with unrestrained joy!
Van Persie, Walcott, Gervinho, Rosický, Arteta—
All of them sprinted toward their captain!
The goal had gone in!
And the match had only just started!
Their young captain had not only danced past United's midfield trio with grace and flair—
But then followed it with a world-class curler from the top of the box, into the top corner!
"My God, Captain! You're a damn god!"
Van Persie howled in celebration.
Every player charged toward Kai!
Everyone knew just how much this goal meant.
Goal No. 34 of the season!
The Premier League's nearly two-decade-old record… had finally been tied.
And in this very moment—broken open!
Even more terrifying—
This was only matchday 14 of the season!
The league wasn't even halfway through!
And both the goal-scoring and assist records were already within Kai's grasp!
After scoring, Kai leapt into the air and roared with passion!
He pumped his fist in the direction of the stands—
And in an instant—
The sixty-thousand-strong crowd at the Emirates wrapped him in thunderous cheers!
Behind him, his teammates came rushing in, arms wide, voices soaring.
Everyone embraced Kai in the center.
The record holder for both Premier League goals and assists—
This was his moment. The Gunner King of Arsenal.
On the sideline, Ferguson stood frozen.
The hand tucked into the pocket of his trench coat trembled slightly.
He stared at the young man being swallowed by a sea of joyful teammates, his eyes flickering with disbelief.
For a moment—
The legendary Red Devils manager felt a wave of dizziness.
He had started preparing for this match over a month ago.
United's coaching staff had studied Arsenal and Kai's game footage day and night.
But now here they were, at the Emirates—
And the match had barely begun…
Before they were struck by a devastating blow!
Painful memories of the FA Cup final loss came rushing back with force.
Ferguson's expression darkened, his brow tightly furrowed.
On the pitch, United's players looked rattled.
The three who had been humiliated by Kai's elegant and outrageous footwork—
Carrick, Park Ji-sung, Ashley Young—
All looked stunned and disoriented.
In front of goal, David De Gea stood in dazed silence.
He had thoroughly prepared for Kai's shooting habits.
And yet Kai had defied all expectations—
Curving a stunning shot into the top corner!
Even with all his talent and training, the Spanish keeper could do nothing to stop it!
"One more, Captain! Just one more!"
"One more goal, and you won't just tie the record—you'll be the sole name at the top!"
"Both the Premier League goal and assist records—will belong to you alone!"
While United's fans sat in stunned silence—
Arsenal's camp buzzed with celebration.
Arteta turned to Kai with bright, shining eyes.
Van Persie grinned excitedly: "He's right, Captain. Get one more. Let every Premier League record carry your name!"
"Set them so high, no one will ever break them!!"
Back on the field—
Amid the never-ending roars of Arsenal fans—
The Gunners returned to their half of the pitch.
The referee blew his whistle again. Play resumed!
Rooney kicked off from the center circle.
Hernández received the ball and played it back.
Facing the team led by Kai, conceding a goal right after kickoff again…
The atmosphere within the entire Manchester United squad had clearly changed from before the match.
No one knew exactly why.
Even the Red Devils' players—rich with match experience—began to feel heavy-footed on the pitch.
Even if they accidentally got too close to that black-haired figure running around…
Even if they merely saw Kai's figure appear in some corner of the field…
They inexplicably grew tense!
Carrick and Park Ji-Sung wore troubled expressions.
They were United's holding midfielders for this match.
Their defensive positioning began to tighten awkwardly.
If they pressed up close, they worried they'd be embarrassed by Kai's brilliant dribbling.
But if they gave him space…
It was equivalent to handing this midfield genius all the room he needed to make a deadly pass!
On the sidelines, Ferguson paced back and forth.
From time to time, he shouted loudly toward the field.
Not far away, Wenger looked energized and excited.
Arsenal was desperate for this win!
They were charging forward toward a brand new chapter in Premier League history!
32nd minute!
Manchester United finally organized a decent attack.
Vidic launched a long ball straight from the backline.
In the fight for the second ball—
The shorter Hernández surprisingly got into position first.
In a tussle with Gibbs, he managed to win the drop.
He nodded the ball forward with a header.
Rooney ran onto it—
Charging with the ball toward Arsenal's penalty area!
But at that moment—
Koscielny stepped up decisively to press.
A fierce sliding tackle!
He took down both Rooney and the ball!
A roar erupted from the away stands filled with United fans!
The referee hesitated for a second, the whistle in his mouth.
But finally raised both arms to signal: ball first, no foul!
Rooney slapped the turf in frustration.
Furious, he scrambled back up—rushing toward where the ball had been cleared!
Park Ji-Sung and Carrick pushed forward.
Trying to offer support from the sides.
But what Manchester United fans in the stadium didn't expect was—
Kai quickly turned and blocked Park Ji-sung's run with his body.
At the same time, he got ahead of Carrick and powerfully swept the cleared ball out to the flank!
In that instant—
Rooney and Carrick crashed into each other trying to recover.
And the ball fell to Gibbs on the wing.
He wasted no time and sent a sharp forward pass.
Walcott received it and immediately cut diagonally.
Kai shook off Carrick and Park Ji-Sung beside him—
And surged forward!
He took a big first touch into space!
At that moment—
Arsenal launched a blistering counterattack!
Their formation instantly showed a terrifying forward press!
The stands erupted into deafening screams from Arsenal fans!
Carrick and Park Ji-Sung were left far behind.
Another numerical advantage up front!
Kai didn't hesitate.
He unleashed a long diagonal pass over 40 meters!
The ball cut across the pitch like a guided missile—
As if locked on, it landed perfectly at van Persie's feet near the side of the United penalty area!
Ferguson's expression went blank once again on the sidelines.
He stared intently at the ball's landing spot.
Van Persie received it and drove into the box!
Just before Ferdinand could slide in—
He poked the ball past De Gea and into the net!
