It is still unstoppable.
Cristiano Ronaldo (36) also scored in the third game for Manchester United. For CR7 it is already his fourth goal in the United dress after his return.
In the Premier League, United won 2-1 against West Ham United thanks to a goal by Jesse Lingard (28) in stoppage time.
35. Minute: Bruno Fernandes brings the ball from the half-field into the penalty area, Ronaldo prevails in the middle and shoots him on goal. West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski initially saves. CR7 is there for the margin. The VAR briefly checks whether there was also an offside position. Ultimately, however, the hit counts.
West Ham had taken the lead five minutes earlier. United newcomer Varane had directed a shot from Said Benrahma unsustainable.
For the most part, Ronaldo was left without further action. Fifteen minutes before the end he protested violently after trying to make contact in the penalty area and dropping himself. Referee Aktinson didn’t fall for it.

Shortly before the end, then the redemption (89.). Lingard dribbles into the penalty area and flicks the ball into the corner.
In added time, West Ham was awarded a hand penalty.
Then it went completely crazy: Mark Noble (34) was substituted on for the penalty kick. But he should have done without. Because the former captain fails to United keeper David de Gea. Noble missed his fifth penalty in his career (38 hits).
Jadon Sancho again spent much of the game on the bench. Only after 72 minutes the ex-Dortmund came on.
The win pushes United into second place. In front of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team (48) is only due to the better goal difference of Liverpool FC.
