What a goal! Poor Hugo Lloris did not stand a chance, such was the power and the accuracy of the shot from the United man's legendary right peg.

That really was the Ronaldo of old, but United weren't 1-0 up for very long.

Spurs levelled the scores at Old Trafford through a Harry Kane penalty in the 35th-minute of play after Alex Telles was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box.

But just three minutes later, Ronaldo struck again with his third Premier League goal of the year to make it 2-1.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner smashed the ball home from close-range off of Jadon Sancho's pass, with the goal given after a short VAR check for offside.

Ronaldo is just inevitable, isn't he? That's now 806 professional goals for the global icon, which means he's now broken the all-time record held by Josef Bican.

And Ronaldo made it 807 in the second half shortly after Harry Maguire scored an own goal to secure a much-needed 3-2 victory for United and Ralf Rangnick.

What a ridiculous footballer he is.
