Ronaldo Scores Hat Trick, Leads Manchester United to TriumphRonaldo Scores Hat Trick, Leads Manchester United to Triumph Cristiano Ronaldo put on a dazzling performance at Old Trafford on Saturday, scoring a magnificent hat trick to steer Manchester United to a convincing 3-0 victory over Norwich City. The Portuguese star broke the deadlock in the seventh minute with a clinical finish from close range. He then doubled United’s lead just before the half-hour mark, latching onto a superb through ball and coolly slotting it past the goalkeeper. Ronaldo completed his hat trick in the 76th minute, rising above the Norwich defense to head home a pinpoint cross from Luke Shaw. The goal was Ronaldo’s 15th in the Premier League this season, making him the division’s top scorer. United’s victory, their first under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, was a much-needed boost after a disappointing start to the campaign. With Ronaldo leading the line, the Red Devils looked dangerous throughout the match and created numerous scoring opportunities. Bruno Fernandes impressed in midfield, providing the assist for Ronaldo’s second goal and creating chances for his teammates. Paul Pogba also played well, showing glimpses of his quality with some intelligent passes and clever dribbles. Norwich, despite a valiant effort, had no answer to Ronaldo’s brilliance. They struggled to contain the Portuguese forward and were forced to play on the back foot for much of the match. The victory takes United up to seventh in the Premier League standings, while Norwich remain rooted to the bottom of the table. Ronaldo’s hat trick was a reminder of his enduring class and underlined his importance to Manchester United.
