Cristiano Ronaldo reaches stunning stat with Man Utd goal from Casemiro assist
Cristiano Ronaldo just scored his 700th goal in club football.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was once again picked to start a Premier League game for Manchester United on the bench this season as Erik ten Hag continues to favour alternative options from the first whistle.
However, the continued fitness issues of Anthony Martial, who made his first league start of the season amidst a run of impressive form, left the door ajar for Ronaldo to pounce earlier than usual.
Introduced at Goodison Park with less than half an hour on the clock with Martial unable to continue, the Portuguese superstar made sure to make his impact on the game.
With the scores locked at 1-1 courtesy of Alex Iwobi’s stunning opener and Antony’s third goal in as many games, Ronaldo made sure to fire the Red Devils into the lead in style.
And it came courtesy of Casemiro’s finest moment in the famous red jersey to date, too, showing what he’s all about by brilliantly winning possession and then firing off a superb through ball.
The end result? Well, it was inevitable, with Ronaldo firing past Jordan Pickford with the lethality that we’ve always come to expect from him – check it out down below:
