Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 60th career hat-trick as Manchester United defeated Norwich City 3-2 at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo put United in command of the game with a quick open goal and a flying header from a cross.
At that point, Ralf Rangnick could have hoped for a rare calm day, but it was not to be as his team brought Norwich back into the game.
Ronaldo's mojo was needed to win the game, and he delivered with a scorching free-kick through Tim Krul.
Cristiano Ronaldo showed no signs of slowing down as he scored his 60th Hattrick.
He has 30 Hattricks before the age of 30 and another 30 after the age of 30, demonstrating the significance of his entire career.
This was his 50th hat-trick at club level, with ten more at international level, a remarkable achievement.
He shows no signs of slowing down, and on a day when United urgently needed him to perform, he was sent back to his old team.
Before the game, the protests surrounding the Glazer family were a major issue, but Ronaldo's brilliance ensured that many fans would be talking about what happened on the pitch.
Despite Arsenal and Tottenham's losses today, he gave a message to United's supporters and players after the game, suggesting that they are still in the chase for the top four.
Even though both teams have key midweek meetings against opponents, United's visit to Arsenal this weekend appears to be crucial at this point.
Ronaldo will have to perform on another level to help this United team win at Anfield, but what a victory that would be if we could get something there.
For the time being, Ronaldo is basking in the glow of a brilliant performance.
