Cometh the hour, cometh Cristiano Ronaldo for the umpteenth time this season to save Manchester United.
After 75 minutes the score was level and Ralf Rangnick’s side were teetering on the brink of another capitulation after holding a two-goal lead. But then Ronaldo smashed a 25-yard free-kick in off Tim Krul’s right post and that was 3-2 – and a second hat-trick since 12 March for a 37-year-old who now has 15 Premier League goals this season.
