Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo has showered praises on his Manchester United teammates following their 3-3 win over Norwich City in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Dowell pulled one back for the visitors in first-half stoppage-time and then Pukki drew his side level in the 52nd minute to make it 2-2.

With the encounter heading for a draw, Ronaldo put his side ahead again with a sensational freekick in the 76th minute to grab all three points for his side as it ended 3-2.

It was his 60th career hat-trick, but the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has credited his teammate for the feat.

Ronaldo wrote on Instagram:

“Very happy with this win and for getting us back on track in the Premier League.
“Like I said before, individual achievements are only worth it when they help us reach our goals as a team, and the 60th hat-trick in my career is so much more important because it brought us the 3 points.
“Well done, lads, tremendous effort from everyone. We’re not giving up, we’re fighting until the end!”

Man Utd fans make similar claims about Cristiano Ronaldo

Meanwhile, Manchester United fans were all saying the same thing about Cristiano Ronaldo after another stellar performance in the Premier League.

The Portuguese star scored a sensational hat trick as Manchester United beat Norwich 3-2 to boost their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

After the game, United fans were quick to point out that the team would be at a very different place without the services of their talisman.

Drogba wants African team to win World Cup

Sports Brief earlier reported that African football legend Didier Drogba believes an African country has the chance of winning the FIFA World Cup one day.

Ghana defeated Nigeria last month to join four other African nations heading to Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Cameroon, Morocco, Tunisia, and Senegal, along with the Black Stars will represent CAF in the first-ever November/December World Cup.
