Ronaldo scores landmark goal

The Portuguese football icon netted his 700th club career goal

Cristiano Ronaldo now has 700 club career goals to his name after coming off the bench to help Manchester United seal a hard-earned 2-1 victory away at Everton on Sunday.

Goodison Park provided the setting of one of the 37-year-old’s biggest controversies in recent times when Ronaldo slapped a mobile phone out of an autistic fan’s hand after United lost 1-0 last season.

Though Ronaldo was again left out of the first XI by head coach Erik ten Hag on Sunday, he took home better memories from Everton on this occasion by reaching a landmark that puts him in a league of his own. 

Latching on to a perfect through-ball from Casemiro when the Brazilian robbed it in midfield, Ronaldo charged towards the 18-yard box and coolly slotted past Jordan Pickford to make it 2-1.

Holding up seven fingers to celebrate his feat, Ronaldo has now scored 144 goals for United, 450 for Real Madrid, 101 for Juventus, and five for boyhood club Sporting Lisbon.
