Ronaldo’s Hat-trick Propels United to Thumping VictoryRonaldo’s Hat-trick Propels United to Thumping Victory Manchester United’s talismanic forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, unleashed a virtuoso performance at Old Trafford on Saturday, netting a stunning hat-trick to lead the Red Devils to a resounding 4-0 victory over relegation-threatened Norwich City. In a match marked by United’s dominance, Ronaldo opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a thunderous left-footed strike into the top corner. His second goal came just before the half-hour mark, as he ruthlessly converted a penalty after Norwich’s Brandon Williams was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the area. United’s relentless pressure continued in the second half, and Ronaldo completed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute. Receiving a pass from Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese forward unleashed a blistering shot from just outside the box that left Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul with no chance. With the game beyond doubt, United cruised to victory. Teenager Anthony Elanga added a fourth goal in the 76th minute, tapping in after excellent work from Marcus Rashford. Ronaldo’s hat-trick not only sealed the three points for United but also underlined his enduring class and importance to the team. At 37 years old, the Portuguese forward continues to defy expectations, scoring crucial goals and inspiring his teammates with his unwavering determination. For Norwich, the defeat was a major setback in their fight against relegation. They now sit bottom of the Premier League table, six points adrift of safety. United’s victory, meanwhile, moves them to within two points of fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand. The Red Devils will now turn their attention to their crucial Champions League Round of 16 second leg clash against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
