The Portuguese superstar opened the scoring in the 12th minute, pouncing on a loose ball in the penalty area and firing a clinical shot past Hugo Lloris. United doubled their lead just before halftime when Jadon Sancho danced past several Spurs defenders and set up Ronaldo for a tap-in. Ronaldo completed his hat-trick in the second half with a stunning free-kick from the edge of the area. The ball curled beautifully over the wall and into the top corner, leaving Lloris with no chance. Spurs struggled to create any clear-cut chances throughout the match, as United dominated possession and defended resolutely. Harry Kane was largely anonymous, while Heung-min Son was well-marshalled by Diogo Dalot. United’s victory sees them climb to fourth in the Premier League table, while Spurs remain in eighth place. Ronaldo’s performance was a timely reminder of his enduring quality and importance to United. He has now scored 12 goals in all competitions this season, taking his overall tally for the club to an incredible 146. Manager Erik ten Hag praised Ronaldo’s contribution, saying: “He’s a player who makes the difference. He’s a born winner and he showed that today.” Ronaldo’s hat-trick was not only a personal triumph but also a vital victory for United as they continue to chase a place in next season’s Champions League. With Ronaldo in their ranks, anything is possible.
