The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brilliant goal and created another as Manchester United ended their four-match winless run with a 3-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs started brightly and after Son Heung-min fired over, Cristian Romero had a goal ruled out for offside.
Ronaldo gave Man Utd the lead six minutes before half-time, when he brilliantly fired in a low, first-time volley from a tight angle after Bruno Fernandes picked him out with a cross.
Edinson Cavani doubled United’s advantage on 64 minutes when he ran on to Ronaldo’s through-ball and superbly dinked the ball over the onrushing Hugo Lloris.
Substitute Marcus Rashford added a third from Nemanja Matic’s pass with two minutes remaining to seal victory.
United move up to fifth on 17 points while Spurs are down to eighth with two points fewer.
At 36 years and 267 days, @Cristiano Ronaldo is the oldest player to both score and assist a goal in a #PL match since Didier Drogba (December 2014)
The Chelsea forward was also 36y 267d and also achieved the feat against Spurs#TOTMUN pic.twitter.com/t96FHArLqf
