In Manchester United's 2-0 Premier League
victory over Brighton, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of 2022. In the 51st minute, the
forwards ended a six-game scoring drought with a sensational shot.
Manchester United began Cristiano Ronaldo upfront, with Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, and Anthony Elanga. Fred, a Brazilian midfielder, has replaced Paul Pogba in the starting lineup.
Both teams came out firing in the first half, with Jakub Moder and Jadon Sancho having chances to score. The rest of the half, on the other hand, was scrappy, with neither team producing any severe chances.
Cristiano Ronaldo put the Red Devils up in the 51st minute, putting them ahead for the first time. Scott McTominay dispossessed Yves Bissouma in midfield before passing to Ronaldo, who sped by the defender's charge before firing a shot past goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Brighton's misery was compounded three minutes later when Lewis Dunk was sent off for a tackle on Anthony Elanga. United then applied more pressure in an attempt to extend their lead. Their score, though, came in the 97th minute of the game. Pogba grabbed a quick free-kick and passed the ball to Fernandes, who easily tapped it past Sanchez.
Ralf Rangnick's team is presently in fourth place in the Premier League, two points clear of West Ham in fifth. This weekend, the Red Devils face Leeds United, putting them one point behind Chelsea in third place.
Cristiano Ronaldo has finally scored for Manchester United after a long drought. Before today, the forwards had not scored or assisted on a goal in 2022, and his six-game scoring drought was his longest since 2009.
His goal against Brighton was his 15th of the season in all competitions. Ralf Rangnick will be hoping to reclaim his form as Manchester United fights to finish in the top four.
