Cristiano Ronaldo scores free-kick rocket to complete Man Utd hat-trick
Cristiano Ronaldo has just completed a hat-trick of Manchester United hat-tricks.
Just when the Red Devils were labouring more than ever against Norwich City at Old Trafford, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner reminded the world that he’s not past his sell by date at 37 years old.
It was Ronaldo who had initially put United into a 2-0 lead in the Premier League clash, sweeping home a close-range finish before doubling his money with a header from Alex Telles’ corner.
However, true to United’s woeful form recently, they managed to concede two goals against the division’s basement club to spark chants of ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ around Old Trafford.
Kieran Dowell had put the Canaries within one goal of their opponents in first-half stoppage time, before Teemu Pukki left the home crowd with their heads in their hands after the break.
But that’s when Ronaldo came in, once again proving himself as football’s greatest ever clutch player by scoring the third hat-trick of his United career in sensational style late on.
That’s because the Portuguese scored just his second free-kick in club football since leaving Real Madrid to send the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ faithful into scenes of delirium – check it out down below:
