EPL: Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks All-Time Goal Scoring Record as Manchester United Beat Tottenham 3-2

This was his only 2nd hattrick in his Manchester United career. 

Manchester: Cristiano Ronaldo hits back at his critics in style as his phenomenal hattrick helped Manchester United beat Tottenham 3-2 at Old Trafford in an English Premier League match on Saturday.

Ronaldo gave the lead just after the 10-minute mark as his long-range effort bamboozled Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris. With the half-time approaching, Harry Kane restored back parity in the game by converting the equalizer in the 35th minute.

Harry Maguire gave the visitors a life-line as he slid the ball into his own-goal to draw the game on level terms all over again.
