Manchester United achieved an important victory against Tottenham with a score of 3-0 in the tenth round of the Premier League. This win carried multiple meanings, from restoring the team’s confidence after the humiliating 5-0 loss to Liverpool to Ronaldo's unending records. In the 39th minute of the match, Ronaldo scored the opening goal with a brilliant direct shot from his right foot into the far corner, assisted by his fellow Portuguese Bruno Fernandes.
Later, Ronaldo passed to his teammate Cavani in the 64th minute, who scored the second goal. This marks the twelfth time in Ronaldo's Premier League career that he both scored and assisted in a match, with the interesting fact that he has done this three times against Tottenham, according to Opta.
Moreover, Ronaldo, at 36 years and 267 days, became the oldest player to score and assist in a single match since December 2014, when former Chelsea star Didier Drogba (also 36 years and 267 days) did the same against Tottenham. Cavani's goal was his 100th for Manchester United in the league, joining the ranks of Newcastle United, Everton, and West Ham United.
