In the stands, fans roared—not just for the goal, but for the unity it represented: a teenager with ice in his veins and the wisdom to share the spotlight.
On the pitch, the match resumed.
Arsenal held the edge, riding on that first goal's energy.
And now, with the game humming ahead, the question on everyone's lips was obvious: what would come next?
And what came next?
Rampant.
Ruthless and Relentless.
The game had barely resumed, the Villa players still gathering themselves, when the ball dropped into Izan's orbit again.
One heavy touch from a Villa midfielder sent it loose near the halfway line—and in a blur of red and silver studs, Izan was there.
"Look at him—look at the reaction!" the commentator barked as the teenager surged forward.
A chasing leg tried to hook him down while another midfielder tried to body him off balance.
But Izan—built like silk over steel—shrugged him aside.
The referee's whistle twitched to his lips… then hesitated.
