Many people anticipated that Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo would perform his signature "sui" celebration after scoring his 700th goal in his career for a club when he did so against Everton.
When it came to beating Jordan Pickford and scoring the game-winning goal for the Red Devils at Goodison Park, the 37-year-old veteran showed incredible composure. After a strong strike from Alex Iwobi put United behind within the first eight minutes of the match, it took Antony's goal at the quarter-hour mark to pull United even with their opponent.
Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute for the injured Anthony Martial on minute 29 and scored his second goal of the season, was able to get the last laugh in the face of criticism that was directed at the Portuguese star. After suffering a humiliating setback in the Manchester derby, the Red Devils got back on track with a strong victory in the Premier League. It was a great win for them as they returned to winning ways in the league.
Ronaldo, winner of the Ballon d'Or five times, ran off to celebrate his goal after he had scored it. He did so while toasting his 700th club career goal, becoming the first player to accomplish that feat in the top five leagues. It all started with a bear hug from Marcus Rashford, and then a new round of celebration ensued as Ronaldo and his new teammate Antony stood erect with their heads back, eyes closed, and fingers crossed in front of their chests.
The club disclosed that the reason for the celebration was a self-deprecating in-joke with his fellow team-mates. This served to highlight the strong bonds that exist among the players in Erik ten Hag's squad. In addition, Ronaldo is well-known for the method by which he maintains himself in the best possible shape and stays as sharp as possible every day in order to ensure that he is able to perform at a high level.
Ronaldo scored his first Premier League goal of the season against Everton on Sunday night.
Ronaldo's celebration at Everton was a humorous homage to the position in which he sleeps when traveling with the club, which is something that hasn't gone ignored by his teammates, who are all keen to learn from him. The Brazilian forward has scored in each of his first three league games, suggesting that Antony is already benefiting from the lessons that the former Real Madrid attacker has taught him.
After the game, Antony congratulated Ronaldo on his historic goal by posting it on Twitter, and he also hinted that he was looking forward to extending the celebration with his teammate who plays for the Red Devils. It was written that "What a privilege this is for me! I want to congratulate you on your win, Cristiano! Another fantastic brand to add to a resume already packed with accomplishments and accomplishments!! May both of us have much more pleasure out of this!"
The length of time that Ronaldo will continue to play alongside Antony at Old Trafford is, of course, something that is still up in the air. The Portuguese player made a request to leave the club during the summer but was unable to secure a move elsewhere before the season ended.
Because his current deal expires in the summer of 2019, he will be free to enter into negotiations with any interested parties as soon as the Qatar World Cup concludes in January. In the meantime, United manager Erik ten Hag believes that Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to rack up the goals now that he has finally opened his account for the season in the Premier League. Ronaldo's first goal of the season came on Merseyside.
Following the conclusion of the match, the Dutchman was quoted as saying: "When you have scored 700 goals, that is an extremely impressive feat. I am overjoyed for him because of the tremendous performance he just gave. I want to congratulate him on that performance, and I'm also happy that it's his first goal in the Premier League this season. He had to wait for it, but I have no doubt that he will score more goals in the future."
