Young Cristiano Ronaldo Was Actually Insane.

Five of them in there with Wayne Rooney on the right-hand side. Linderoth, Leitea and Graverson provide a most willing engine room. But tries to just embarrass Nigel Martin straight from the kickoff. Would have been pretty spectacular. Rooney there first. Good control by Rooney, looking to capitalize. He came off third and in the end, well collected by Howard. Immediately checking to see where O'Shea was. To Forlan. Ronaldo at the back post. There is Ronaldo! And it's a good save by Martin. Straight at him, truth be told, but he got ahead of his man well. Forlan with the cross, having found the space. On this kind of surface, the ball as it rolls towards goal can be tricky for the goalkeepers. Ronaldo, not what he intended. Good enough to close down Hibbert. And indeed somehow win the throw. Fortune out to his left. He's closed down now by Hibbert, by Claverson. The cross looking for Stubbs, come out as far as Burt! Nicky Burt for Manchester United! His first of the Premiership season. Not that surprising given the fact it's only his fifth start. It was a sweet finish by Nicky Burt. It was the run by Claverson that set it up. Headed away by Stubbs. One thing on Nicky Burt's mind and the half-volley foul. Hibbert ahead of him. Instead he takes on O'Shea. For Forlan, it's driven him wide. Ronaldo behind him. Instead he's gone for Claverson. Well, the Brazilian slightly off balance as the ball reached him. It just bobbled away from Forlan there. It was too tight an angle. Ronaldo was well-placed, but Forlan had spotted Claverson in a better position. And Claverson unable to keep the shot. It is Graveson to deliver. Stubbs in there. And it has gone in! Graveson's free kick caused the danger. Campbell was in there. Campbell receiving the congratulations, but not quite sure if it came off him or a United head last. Hit with some pace. It doesn't touch Campbell. I think that's Gary Neville, isn't it? That got the final touch. Third corner. The previous two didn't really cause Everton any problem, and neither will the third. Three poor deliveries by Ronaldo so far. Ronaldo. But again, the first touch by Ronaldo. Pace taking him away from Hibbert. Cross beyond Forlan. That having taken nearly a corner. Swap with Bellion momentarily. And that header clearance by Stubbs is going to reach Bellion. He's got Fortune behind him. That's an early centre. And Forlan! Great save by Nigel Martin. Forlan abhors the centre and well he might. Fantastic early delivery by Quinton Fortune. And Stubbs wasn't close enough to Forlan. Ronaldo. Saw his pace earlier as he blistered away from Tony Hibbert. Mr Balls and Hibbert able to get back. And Rudy back there as well. This time they've gone for a short corner kick. Fortune's crossover. Forlan! He somehow finds space in and around that six-yard box, despite the fact Stubbs and Unsworth are generally standing next to him. Campbell in the middle. Gravesen arriving at the back post now. This is Kevin Kilbane for Everton. Came off Rio Ferdinand. And behind for Everton's first corner. Well there was no covering defender behind Gary Neville. That's what enticed Kilbane to go himself. And for a moment by Fortune. This is Ronaldo. Looking for Forlan. Ronaldo. Not seen much of him so far today apart from the corner kicks that have been pretty ordinary for a man of his standard. Ronaldo unmarked completely. Took a deflection towards Nigel Martin's goal. And that's enough to bring United another corner. Ronaldo who's across to take it. Quickly closed down by Alan Stubbs. Ronaldo. That's better by Ronaldo. Running at pace! And the shot wasn't bad either. And he seems just to have come in a bit more from his wide left position. And it's working to his benefit at the moment. Martin was stretching in vain to his left. Ronaldo running at Hibbert. Gravesen trying to get back there and offer some assistance. You've got defenders like that. Always the opportunity of winning free kicks for your team. Hibbert. Ball in the wall. It's set up for the curl around the wall. There it goes. Easy stop for the Everton keeper Nigel Martin. Not enough Ben Rooney ahead of him. Meanwhile it's Ronaldo looking to tease Hibbert again. After a poor opening 30 minutes. Ronaldo has started to look the business in the last 10. Taking on Campbell now. Not good delivery. Now Fortune. And now Ronaldo. Fancy footwork. Belion, Forlan and Cleberson all waiting the centre. And there is quality! Quality centre by Gary Neville. And Cleberson with the Brazilian footwork now. But the headed excellence for the second United goal. Just see him there. The last of the game is one-on-one momentarily against Hibbert. Here getting across to provide. End of the first half action here at Old Trafford. Nicky Buck putting United in front. Just 10 minutes on the clock process. It might even be later than that. This is Ronaldo. O'Shea to his left is ignored. And the cross is cleared by Stubbs. Forlan. John looking to release Ronaldo who has the pace to keep the ball in play. And then running away from Hibbert. Skip away from Unsworth. It's Ronaldo for United. Clean tackle by the referee. Perfect position to make that decision. Referee Mike Dean was about five yards behind that incident. Got a clear view of it. Ronaldo feels he was unfairly tripped. And that his ankle bore the brunt of the challenge. I think that's a clean tackle. Referee said it was. Let's see what we see. Reminder that Roy Keane missing this game with a hamstring injury. Moved by Mr. Roy. And Giggs rested. Carrying the game to Everton. Everton happy just to sit back and try and soak up the pressure. This time Hibbert has caught Ronaldo. This time it's brought a free kick. Still no sign of Mike Dean reaching for the card. And that time clearly missing the ball. The head of Hibbert who shows no concerns at all. Despite the ferocity of that kick. Ronaldo. Oh that's a late challenge by Rooney. How many times do we see such rash challenges by the young man? Well no doubt about it this will be a yellow card. The seventh time Wayne Rooney has been booked this season. That in itself is a staggering statistic. But it was just such a rash challenge. He was high. He was late. It was of course in a few challenges that have brought yellows in other games this season. Ronaldo's control lets him down and Rooney picks it up. Heavy ball too far ahead of Campbell. Finished up signing for United of course. This is Ronaldo. Miscued it horribly. Jeffers and Ferguson are good premiership strikers. Van Nistelrooy and Giggs are in a game taking on Hibbert. This time he's got the ball over. Oh almost underneath the bar. David Bellion somehow clears the crossbar. How far is he out there? Four yards by Stubbs. Not back in by Butt. This is Ronaldo. Faced by Hibbert. Held up well by Hibbert. Still the cross comes over. And Bellion possibly missed a few moments a minute from underneath the bar. This time he swept it home left footed. First goal in the premiership in United colours for David Bellion. And Ronaldo teasing Hibbert. Firing over the centre. And there was an appeal for offside. But spot the final Everton defender just at the back post. Larry Naismith. I think it was for themselves. And Rooney continues to get battered by the home fans. He continues to show the signs of. So at the top of the programme. That is the dilemma that David Moyes has to. Here's McFadden for Everton. Good drive and good touch by Tim Howard. First real save he's had to make. Ferguson's flick on to fellow Scott McFadden. It's handed away by Hibbert. And collected by McFadden. And it's Ronaldo doing the clipping. For themselves at the moment. Ferdinand against Ferguson. Hibbert against Ronaldo. Fortune. Ronaldo. Mikael Sylvester's afternoon. He's followed through for his own good, Ronaldo. Has he won it back? Yes, he has. What's the cross going to be like? But he's a crowd pleaser, Ronaldo. There's certainly plenty of talent to come from him. Naismith centre. And here's Ferguson! Duncan Ferguson with his fifth goal of the season. And providing some hope for Everton. With just a minute to go. Classic Ferguson goal. Stooping. Not to conquer but certainly to drag Everton back in it. Fallen kindly for United. Need him. It's Ronaldo. And here Manchester United have beaten Everton by three goals to two. United and Sir Alec Ferguson. Back on top of the premiership. David Moyes' team made it a real fight at the end. But goals from Nicky Butt, Cleverson and Beliant. After Gary Neville had briefly levelled with an own goal. And Ferguson scored late on for Everton. And given Manchester United all three points.
