Ronaldo carried the hunchback, Bruno Fernandes “killed” MU with an eye-catching kick
Never before have fans of the Red Devils understood the phrase “blessed is not the same, the picture is not alone” so. In the 27th minute, after being “hit” by the “Gunners” in the first minutes of the game to lead 0-1 very early, David de Gea’s net was up for the second time after Edward Nketiah’s finishing phase. The disappointment made the Man United players seem to collapse.
But hopes were ignited when VAR stepped in to see if Arsenal’s scorer was offside before slamming his foot into the net, and good news came when the technology pinpointed it. Edward Nketiah was offside. The goal was withdrawn, Red Devils fans breathed a sigh of relief.
But “happily ever after”, perhaps this is a rather rare time VAR stepped in to “judge” twice in the same situation. After that sigh, Red Devils fans had to hold their breath again to wait for the verdict to see if Alex Telles fouled Bukayo Saka in the penalty area in this situation, before the ball reached Edward Nketiah’s feet or not. And finally the “unique draw” came, when referee Craig Pawson pointed at the penalty spot after reviewing the situation on the screen.
On the 11-meter mark, Bukayo Saka easily fooled David de Gea to make it 2-0 after 32 minutes. Heaven and earth seemed to collapse on the heads of the Man United players. Disappointment fell on the heads of the Red Devils fans. The way to the top 4 is blocked by Arsenal, but in the immediate future, a catastrophic defeat is waiting.
But there is still Cristiano Ronaldo – the great legend of Old Trafford. Less than two minutes after the “shock” that Arsenal gave Man United, CR7 cut the ice on the left foot pad neatly and Matic’s cross, bringing the goal to shorten the score “more precious than gold”. for the Red Devils. The Man United players woke up, hope was lit, and the Red Devils’ feet moved faster, bringing the game back to a much more balanced level than from the beginning of the game until then.
After the successful goal, Ronaldo celebrated with his eyes looking up to the sky, with a finger pointing in memory of his son who unfortunately left the world as soon as he was born.
The second half passed 10 minutes, with the jubilant game created, Man United received a “gift” from the Arsenal players themselves. From the Red Devils corner, Nuno Tavares let the ball touch his hand, and VAR determined there was a penalty for Man United.
But stepping up to the penalty spot was Bruno Fernandes, instead of Ronaldo. Still the familiar footstep, easily beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to… shoot the ball straight into the post. “Blessed and Unmatched” again made Red Devils fans fall.
Just two minutes later, Ronaldo added the ball to Arsenal, but in the end the goal was denied for offside. Two more minutes, Arsenal narrowly escaped defeat when Diogo Dalot’s hammer-like shot from Ronaldo’s cross touched goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale’s hand and went right into the post.
Right at the moment when Man United was most excited, at the moment when Ronaldo was making the most effort and determination, the Red Devils were once again poured into cold water by the “unique painting”. In the 70th minute, from a distance of more than 25 meters, Granit Xhaka shot a long shot from the left, causing David de Gea to be blindfolded and unable to keep up, helplessly watching the ball hit the net.
Having suffered a painful blow from Arsenal, Man United was in 6th place with 54 points, 6 points behind their opponent when the season was only 4 rounds away from the end. The opportunity to enter the top 4 is closing for the Red Devils after an “unfair” match with Cristiano Ronaldo. Perhaps this legend’s relationship with Old Trafford has come to an end?
