Everton 1-2 Manchester United: Ronaldo becomes FIRST player to bag 700 Club Goals, Antony on Target as Red Devils earn Comeback Victory

It was a record setting night for Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, as he notched his 700th club goal in his career to help Manchester United earn a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday night.

The hosts grabbed the opener through Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi who slotted home after just five minutes, before summer signing Antony curled home the equalizer for the Red Devils off an assist from Anthony Martial – who was making his first PL start of the campaign.

The Frenchman’s night was cut short however, as he was subbed off by Erik ten Hag because of injury and was replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo.

It didn’t take long for the 37 year-old star to put his name on the record books, as he turned in Casemiro’s through ball to give the Red Devils the lead but most importantly, he scored his 700th club career goal to send the away fans into a frenzy.
