Cristiano Ronaldo is among the ten nominees for the best goal of the year. His first goal in the hat-trick that secured a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur, in Round 29, has been picked and is ready to be voted on on the Premier League website.
In that match on March 12, Manchester United returned to winning ways after drawing with Watford and suffering a defeat (1-4) in the derby against Manchester City. At Old Trafford, Ralph Rangnick’s team received and beat Tottenham 3-2, with Cristiano Ronaldo in the spotlight.
The return of CR7, absent (with great controversy) from the derby in the Union, began to shine very early in the match: in just 12 minutes, the Portugal international found space in midfield and launched a “bomb” into the back of Hugo Lloris’ net and made it 1-0.
Remember the goal:
This same performance also earned him a nomination for a ‘gamechanger’, which can be translated as a critical performance, as he was nominated alongside teammate Pogba, goalkeeper Ramsale (Arsenal), Bergwijn (Totenham), Bruyne and Gundogan from Manchester City.
