Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo gave Manchester United an important victory with his first goal of the season in the Premier League.
The Portuguese scored the decisive goal in the 2-1 (2-1) win at Everton in Liverpool. The 37-year-old came on for Anthony Martial in the 29th minute.
15 minutes later he scored from a through ball from Casimero. For the exceptional striker it was the 700th goal at club level. Previously, Axel Iwobi (5th) had given the hosts an early lead. Antony (15′) equalized for United shortly afterwards. Manchester is now fifth in the table.
There had been unrest around Ronaldo in the past few weeks and months. Again and again it was speculated that he wanted to leave the club because he was dissatisfied with his situation. The new coach Erik ten Hag had rarely considered the international.
