Ronaldo Rocket Fires Man United to VictoryRonaldo Rocket Fires Man United to Victory Old Trafford erupted in jubilation as Cristiano Ronaldo unleashed a thunderous rocket to seal Manchester United’s emphatic 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday night. After a frustrating first half, the Red Devils finally broke the deadlock in the 55th minute. Ronaldo received a pinpoint cross from Luke Shaw and planted a stunning header into the far corner of the net, leaving Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sánchez helpless. The Portuguese maestro’s goal ignited the crowd and set the tone for United’s dominant second-half performance. Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men pushed forward relentlessly, searching for a second goal to put the game beyond doubt. In the 90th minute, substitute Edinson Cavani provided the perfect assist for Ronaldo to complete his brace. The Uruguayan forward cushioned a pass into Ronaldo’s path, and the Portuguese forward unleashed an unstoppable drive that flew into the top corner. Brighton’s defense, which had been resolute in the first half, crumbled under the weight of United’s attacking pressure. Ronaldo’s second goal effectively ended the contest and cemented United’s position in the top four of the Premier League table. Ronaldo’s goalscoring exploits were the highlight of the match, but the entire team deserves credit for their improved performance in the second half. Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, and Mason Greenwood all played key roles in United’s attacking dominance. Solskjær praised his players for their determination and resilience. “We showed great character tonight,” the Norwegian manager said. “We had to be patient, but we got the goals in the end. Cristiano is a world-class player, and when he’s on form, we’re very difficult to beat.” Ronaldo’s brace takes his tally for the season to 18 goals in all competitions. The Portuguese forward is now just three goals away from becoming the first player in Premier League history to score 20 goals in three different seasons for United. With Ronaldo leading the line, United will be confident of continuing their positive momentum and challenging for major silverware this season. The Red Devils next face Leeds United on Sunday afternoon, hoping to continue their climb up the Premier League table.
