‘Class always rises’ – Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole laud Cristiano Ronaldo for milestone goal in Everton win
Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole were effusive in their praise of Cristiano Ronaldo after scoring his 700th goal at club level to help Manchester United to a crucial 2-1 win over Everton. Ronaldo was introduced midway through the first half in place of the injured Anthony Martial, and scored his landmark goal with a fine left-footed finish which ultimately proved to be the difference at Goodison Park. Ad Ferdinand joked that the WhatsApp group containing a number of former United players under Sir Alex Ferguson will be full of Ronaldo talk.
