Football was returning to Old Trafford three games after United played their last home game. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Carrick’s eleven in a match where the three points were essential to continue in the fight for the top of the table. Arsenal visited the Theater of Dreams with five points difference with Manchester who started the game in the best way with him managing the game times, installed in the rival field. Cristiano was the first to put fear in the body of the “Gunners”, but the first weight action of the game would fall from the Londoners. Fred stepped on De Gea in a corner and with the Spanish goal lying on the ground Smith-Rowe shot from the front to make it 0-1. Nobody gave credit on the field and the referee did not annul the goal as it was Fred who stepped on De Gea. Without a doubt the most unlikely goal of the year.
It was pressing the stands and with it Manchester who finished the first half finding the goal prize through Bruno Fernandes, who closed his scoring drought (without scoring since September). The game was being in the purest English style, in the purest “box to box.” Cristiano made it 2-1 to come back and reach the figure of 800 goals between clubs and national team. But without even having time to blink, Odegaard was putting the tables back on the scoreboard. In just three minutes two goals. Odegaard reappeared in the game, but this time for the worse, he committed an awkward penalty by arriving late and running over Fred.
Christian of course, infallible from eleven meters. Twenty minutes were still to be played in a game that was being a heart attack. Arsenal began to take risks when Arsenal’s ball came out and United pressed with good pressure, which led to one more day with De Gea as the protagonist. He reappeared to save United. 3-2 at Old Trafford with Cristiano reaching 801 goals, vindicating himself after his substitution against Chelsea to give United three points.
