Marcus Rashford netted the fourth goal in the 53rd minute, finishing off a swift counterattack. Ronaldo completed his hat-trick in the 81st minute, tapping in a cross from Jadon Sancho.

They will now look to build on this momentum and continue their resurgence under Erik ten Hag. Meanwhile, Liverpool will need to regroup and assess the reasons behind their disappointing performance.
