Premier League – From a new hat-trick, Cristiano Ronaldo has again shown that he is the tree that hides the forest

With a sumptuous free kick, the Portuguese restored the advantage to his team, permanently. Not unlike his hat-trick against Spain during the last World Cup, which he also concluded with a direct free kick, CR7 scored his second hat-trick in four league days, to hide the misery of Manchester United. « We shouldn’t just rely on him“, also regretted the interim coach Ralf Rangnick after the meeting.

However, everything had started well for the Red Devils, with a two-goal advantage after thirty minutes thanks to the diabolical efficiency of the fivefold Ballon d’Or. The latter was first well helped by an offering from Anthony Elanga after a very high recovery and an error from the Canaries. « Ronaldo will be showered with praise for his hat-trick, and rightly so, but he was helped a lot« , lamented Norwich coach Dean Smith after the match. Then, completing the panoply of the complete goalscorer for the break goal, Ronaldo came with a perfect whim to give his team a two-goal lead.
