Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 800th and 801st career goals on Thursday as Manchester United edged a resilient Arsenal side 3-2 to claim a big win in the Premier League.
Arsenal took the lead when youngster Emile Smith Rowe volleyed home into an unguarded net following a clash between David De Gea and Fred.
Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes cancelled out the England international’s goal just before the break, converting from inside the box after a tidy assist by the Brazilian midfielder.
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.
