Man Utd vs Tottenham: Ronaldo hailed for breaking record

Former Man Utd star Garry Neville has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo after his performance during the Red Devils clash vs Tottenham Hotspurs on Saturday.

This comes as Ronaldo scored an hat-trick against Tottenham on Saturday, which saw him break another goalscoring record.

His latest goals mean he is now two goals ahead of Austrian-Czech’s Josef Bican in the FIFA record books on 805 professional career goals.

Recall that Bican played between 1931 and 1957, scoring 805 goals.

Ronaldo now has a total of 807 goals in his career.

He, however, extended his goals tally to 807 in the second half.

Neville, on commentary for the Tottenham meeting, said: “That record is absolutely outrageous, 805 goals at international and club level, well done to him, what a player.”

He added: “I was just about to say how safe this game was, tentative, nothing happening, no expression and then an absolute explosion of brilliance from Cristiano Ronaldo. It’s almost like one of his free-kicks, there’s no wall, the power, backlift is absolutely sensational from Cristiano Ronaldo, touch out of his feet, Dier stands off… absolute beauty of a goal.”
