Cristiano Ronaldo scores 100th Premier League goal

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo achieved yet another feat with his goal for Man United against Arsenal.

He becomes the first player to score 100 goals or more in the Premier League and La Liga.

It is an impressive feat for Ronaldo, who keeps delivering for his side despite being in the twilight days of his career.

His goal was an impressive one as well, as he latched on to brilliantly connect with a cross from Nemanja Matic to half the deficit, with United initially trailing 2-0.

Ronaldo was making his first appearance for his club since announcing the passing of his newborn son on Monday, April 18.

In his first stint at Manchester United, Ronaldo played primarily as a winger from 2003 to 2009 when he eventually left for Los Blancos.

Despite primarily coming in from the flanks, Ronaldo managed to score 83 Premier League goals in his first Premier League stint.

Upon returning to the club in the summer of 2021, Ronaldo has somehow managed to emerge as the club’s top scorer in the 2021/22 season.

His goal against Arsenal also means he joins the elite group of Premier League greats who have scored 100 goals or more including Thierry Henry, Allan Shearer, Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney.
