Manchester United’s no.7 was an early introduction at Goodison Park due to an injury to Anthony Martial.The sides were locked at 1-1 when Ronaldo joined the action, and he proved the difference-maker once more, latching on to Casemiro’s forward ball before firing low beyond Jordan Pickford to give Manchester United the lead on the stroke of half-time.
