Manchester United’s Ronaldo scores his 17th league goal… 2nd place jointly with Son Heung-min

Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 17th goal in the English Premier League, tied for second with Tottenham’s Son Heung-min in scoring.

Ronaldo equalized while playing full-time in a home match against Chelsea at Old Trafford in Manchester, England.

Manchester United conceded the opening goal to Chelsea Alonso in the 15th minute of the second half, but Ronaldo equalized two minutes after conceding.

After receiving a roving pass that Matic sensibly floated, he finished with a strong right-footed shot from inside the penalty box.

It was Ronaldo’s 101st Premier League goal and his first goal in the league against Chelsea.

Ronaldo finished tied for second with Son Heung-min with his 17th goal in the league, and was behind leader Liverpool’s Salah by five goals.

Manchester United, which ended in a 1-1 draw that day, are one step further from the Champions League stage next season, where they can reach fourth place in the league with 55 points remaining with three matches remaining.

Arsenal, which has played two games less than United, are currently in fourth place and Tottenham in fifth.
