Cristiano Ronaldo’s first Man Utd hat-trick for fourteen years proved to be the difference between United and Sputs, as Tom Brady looked on from the Old Trafford stands in this epic enountry.
In a ding-dong battle, Ronaldo sealed all three Premier League points with his head, having scored an emphatic long range opener, before sliding home a second from close range.
Tottenham, who edged the possession and shot count will be disappointed that United – and Ronaldo – proved to be the more clinical on the night in front of a sell-out home crowd.
United mover into fourth spot with these points, though the teams below them in the league table do have games in hand, notably Arsenal, who maintained their upwards pressure with a solid 2-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday.
