Manchester (AP) – Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo saved the English football record champions Manchester United with coach Ralf Rangnick from another setback and scored his first goal since December.
The Portuguese scored the lead in the 2-0 (0-0) win against Brighton Hove & Albion. Bruno Fernandes made everything clear in added time (90+7). This put Man United in fourth place in the battle for a place in the Champions League. Brighton, long an uncomfortable opponent, had to cope with the red card for Lewis Dunk shortly after the goal for an emergency brake (54th). The Rangnick team had not won twice in the league recently and allowed themselves an embarrassing FA Cup defeat against Middlesbrough FC.
