10-man Dalian Yifang stun Shenzhen with last-gasp winner, Hebei stumble as winless streak continues
Substitute He Yupeng scored a stoppage-time winner as Dalian Yifang completed a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Shenzhen FC in the 10th round of the 2019 Chinese Super League (CSL) on Sunday.
Defender He Yupeng, 19, slid in to meet a cross from Nyasha Mushekwi and knock the ball into the net 41 seconds after he came off the bench in the 89th minute, snatching Dalian's second victory of the season.
Colombian forward Harold Preciado opened the account for Shenzhen in the 24th minute with a first-time shot in the box, receiving a cross from Zhang Yuan.
Dalian suffered another blow when Li Jianbin was sent off before the break. However, they looked much sharper in the second half as Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco converted from the penalty spot after 74 minutes to level the score at 1-1.

Elsewhere, Johnathan bagged a brace as Tianjin Teda defeated Hebei China Fortune 2-0.
After failing to finish off several chances in the first half, Teda took the lead only nine seconds into the second half as Johnathan came off the bench to slot home the opener. Hebei's defender gave the ball away inside their own half, allowing Johnathan to make it 1-0.
The 29-year-old Brazilian striker scored his second at the 76th minute to seal the victory, giving Hebei, who sacked ex-Wales coach Chris Coleman this week, a horrible eight-match winless run.
