Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to help Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2 at Old
Trafford on Thursday in the Premier League. Ralf Rangnick, the Red Devils' new temporary manager,
was in attendance for the game, and the players made sure they achieved a positive outcome.
On the other hand, Arsenal took the lead against the hosts in the 13th minute. After a disastrous incident off an Arsenal corner, Emile Smith Rowe stunned the Manchester United supporters. After a collision with Fred, David de Gea remained down, and Smith Rowe took advantage of the situation by blasting the ball into the net.
After witnessing their club take a surprise lead over rivals Manchester United, the travelling supporters erupted in a frenzy of noise. VAR conducted a review, but the officials found nothing to invalidate the game's first goal.
Just before halftime, Bruno Fernandes equalized for Manchester United, ensuring that the clubs headed into the break level. The Portuguese took advantage of a ball from Fred to beat Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Manchester United took approximately 12 minutes to pull away from Arsenal in the second half. Marcus Rashford was released down the sides by Diogo Dalot, and the Englishman hammered a low cross into Cristiano Ronaldo's path. Manchester United took the lead as the 34-year-old guided the ball into the back of the net.
Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo's joy was short-lived, as Arsenal equalized just two minutes later, in the 54th minute. After receiving a cross from Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard rifled his effort past De Gea.
More drama awaited as Odegaard soon shifted from Arsenal's hero to villain. After checking VAR, referee Martin Atkinson pointed to the spot after the Norwegian pulled Fred down from behind within the penalty area.
As the home team recovered the lead, Manchester United supporters increased their decibel levels. Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty kick and converted it before wheeling away in joy. As Ramsdale dived to the left, the Portuguese hammered his penalty right down the centre.
Manchester United are now only two points behind Arsenal in the Premier League table, with 21 points. Arsenal remains in fifth place, ahead of Manchester United in seventh despite the defeat.
Following Cristiano Ronaldo's latest match-winning performance, Manchester United fans took to Twitter to express their adoration for the Portuguese forward. Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, has now scored 801 goals for both club and country.
