Tottenham drew level in the second-half after a Harry Maguire own goal but Ronaldo was again United’s saviour, rising to slam home a third with nine minutes of the contest remaining. Ronaldo matched the record held by Austrian-Czech Josef Bican in extraordinary fashion 12 minutes in, lashing home career goal no.805 with a sublime strike from 25 yards out. After missing last week’s derby, Ronaldo was back with a bang (Picture: Getty)The equaliser came after 35 minutes with Dejan Kulusevski causing problems down the right. Ronaldo’s record-breaking moment came three minutes later, latching onto Jadon Sancho’s perfectly-timed cross to make history with his 806th career goal.
