As for his hat-trick at Norwich’s expense, Cristiano wrapped it up with a drilled free-kick after opening the scoring early on with a simple finish after Anthony Elanga successfully pressed high up the pitch. His second was the archetypal Ronaldo header, a demonstration of brilliant strength and aerial prowess. He leapt high at a corner to direct the ball past Tim Krul.
This is the second time this season that our no.7 has won back-to-back awards, having done the same in his scintillating first two months back at the club after arriving from Juventus at the end of August.
April also saw the breaking or achieving of several records for the club legend. His strike at Arsenal was his 100th in the Premier League, and that made him one of four players in the last two decades to score a century in two of Europe’s big-five leagues, having also achieved the feat in La Liga.
Two other strikers who have worn United’s red shirt make up that elite quartet: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Ligue 1, Serie A) and Edinson Cavani (Ligue 1, Serie A). The final player on the list is Gonzalo Higuain (La Liga, Serie A).
