Ronaldo scored his first goal of the night seven minutes after the half-time interval.

Marcus Rashford set up an unmarked Ronaldo who fired past Aaron Ramsdale to record his 800th career goal.

However, the Gunners hit back immediately – with Martin Odegaard picking out the bottom corner with a brilliant finish.
