MADRID, 15 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester United returned to winning ways after two consecutive draws after beating Brighton (2-0) on Tuesday thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored with a lethal shot from the edge of the box, and Bruno Fernandes, in a matchday 16 match postponed at the time due to several positives for COVID-19.
This Tuesday, the ‘red devils’ were superior to their rival although they had to wait until the second half to get ahead on the scoreboard. Ralf Rangnick’s men had everything in their face, including an expulsion for a straight red to Lewis Dunk in the 54th minute. By then Cristiano had already scored the 1-0.
A goal that ends his scoring drought after six games without seeing a goal. The one from Madeira was decisive with two breaks before the devastating blow from him. The 2-0 led to the signing of his compatriot Bruno Fernandes in extra time. United regains fourth position ahead of West Ham, while Brighton moves away from the European positions.
