And in this decisive battle for the title, Arsenal found themselves facing none other than their North London rivals!
This only fueled the team's fighting spirit to an insane level.
Every player's eyes burned with fire.
"Crush Spurs!"
"Win the fourth North London Derby of the season!"
"We'll take the title at home, standing over our rivals!"
Three days later.
March 18th. Premier League Round 31.
That night, the entire city of London was thrown into indescribable chaos.
Media swarmed the capital, rushing to cover the spectacle.
By evening, North London felt as if it were shaking from an earthquake—
thunderous chants and passionate roars rang out from every street and alley.
Clad in red and white, Arsenal supporters waved their flags madly, spilling into the streets.
As night fell, North London was dyed in fiery crimson, ablaze with fervor.
Tickets for the Emirates had sold out in an instant.
Everyone knew—this was Arsenal's milestone night.
This was the final of the Premier League.
If they won this match, they would clinch the league title seven rounds early—
securing the crown they had chased for so long.
Champion!
A word that sent every Arsenal supporter's blood surging.
"We're about to be champions again!"
"Crush Spurs—we're taking the title!!"
"Damn Spurs, get ready to be destroyed!"
"Our Gunner King will lead us to sweep them aside!"
"Kick Spurs out of North London!"
"Arsenal will win!!"
"Come on you Gunners!!"
The chants echoed endlessly in the skies above North London.
At the Emirates, the atmosphere was already boiling over.
Arsenal fans roared without pause, transforming the stadium into an unshakable fortress of red and white.
When the Spurs players stepped into the tunnel, they were hit by a wall of noise so deafening their minds went blank.
Many of them struggled inwardly.
The good news?
This would be their last meeting with Arsenal this season.
The bad news?
This match would be the most terrifying of them all.
Because tonight, under the lead of Kai, Arsenal would unleash something even more fearsome than in the previous three derbies.
This was the title decider.
Their hunger for glory—
their hatred of Spurs—
would all explode onto the pitch tonight.
In the Chinese broadcast booth, commentator Zhan Jun introduced the lineups:
"Tonight Arsenal have gone full strength!"
"Kai takes his spot in the No.10 role, leading the team!"
"The Gunners want nothing less than victory—they want to settle their score with Spurs once and for all, and above all, win this round and be crowned champions seven rounds early!"
"As for Spurs—"
"New manager Villas-Boas, thrust into this high-pressure situation, won't want Arsenal to stroll to the title. He's lined them up in his favored 4-3-3."
"The front three: Bale, Kane, and Lennon."
"In midfield: Modrić and van der Vaart."
"Will Spurs simply play the part of the backdrop, watching Arsenal's historic crowning moment? Or will they dig deep and try to deny their North London rivals the title?"
"Let's look to the pitch and see for ourselves!"
At the Emirates, the atmosphere was at its absolute peak.
A packed house.
Wave after wave of Arsenal chants filled the stadium.
When Kai led his teammates out of the tunnel, the roar reached a fever pitch.
Media cameras frantically captured every shot, while the fans' eyes burned with passion—
all fixed on their young Gunner King.
Kai raised a hand and pointed toward the stands.
He mouthed a single word.
Within seconds, fans deciphered it.
Champion!
The main stand exploded into madness.
The supporters echoed the cry over and over, their voices shaking the night.
In the minds of every Gunner, one word thundered without end—
Champion!
The Spurs fans in the away stands looked conflicted.
Many die-hard Tottenham supporters, despite the pressure, waved their team flags vigorously.
But their chants were instantly drowned out by the deafening roar of the Arsenal faithful at the Emirates!
After the entrance ceremony, both sides lined up in their respective halves, accompanied by the frenzied shouts of the crowd.
"Beep!"
With the referee's whistle, Premier League Round 31 officially kicked off!
Arsenal, hosting at home, faced Tottenham!
Arsenal, sitting on home turf, got the opening kickoff.
Van Persie rolled the ball sideways.
He passed it to Kai, then suddenly spun and charged into Spurs' half like a madman!
On the wings, Walcott and Gervinho sprinted forward at full throttle!
Arsenal's attacking formation surged across the halfway line in an instant!
This was the decisive battle — the match that could seal Arsenal's Premier League title ahead of time!
And the opponent was Tottenham!
There was no reason to hold back.
Right from kickoff, Kai carried the ball past midfield!
Arsenal's ferocious opening attack unfolded instantly!
On the sidelines, Villas-Boas trembled.
Only five seconds had passed since the start!
Kai dribbled forward at blistering speed.
Without hesitation, he bulldozed past Modrić and Van der Vaart in succession.
Then, with a single sweeping motion, he lofted a long ball toward the Spurs penalty area!
The Spurs supporters in the stands stared in horror, their eyes wide.
The game had just begun!
But this Arsenal, riding a wave of unstoppable momentum, had no intention of giving Tottenham even a breath of space!
Kai's long pass was perfectly weighted.
It found Van Persie, who had already burst into the penalty box.
And after sending the ball forward, Kai himself sprinted madly to join the attack!
The Arsenal fans erupted into thunderous cheers!
On the edge of Tottenham's penalty area,
Van Persie cushioned the long ball with his thigh, bringing it under control.
Under the furious pressure of Spurs' center-backs closing in,
he deftly nudged it with the inside of his foot toward the arc at the top of the box!
Modrić and Van der Vaart, already left trailing,
could only watch helplessly as Kai raced toward the dropping ball!
In the stands, Tottenham supporters stared in dread, hands clutching their heads!
At the ball's landing point —
before ten seconds had even passed from kickoff!
Kai swung his thigh forward with explosive force!
He unleashed a thunderous volley from the top of the penalty arc!!
The ball rocketed upward like a missile!
Under the electrified gaze of the Arsenal fans,
this cannon strike howled toward Tottenham's goalframe!
In that instant —
the vast Emirates Stadium erupted,
exploding in a tidal wave of frenzy, like a mountain crumbling into the sea!
