The greatest free-kick ever
Man Utd 2 Portsmouth 0
The Portuguese ace shot Manchester United back to the
top of the table as he took his tally for the season to an
incredible 27 with a double in the first 13 minutes.
But it was his superb 25-yard second which had the Old
Trafford boss drooling.
Fergie said: “Have I seen a better free-kick in the
Premier League? No, that must be the best.
“It was within two or three inches of the junction of
the crossbar and post. No goalkeeper would have saved it.
"It was a marvellous hit. Ryan Giggs used to take them
for us and so did David Beckham.
"But Cristiano’s strike rate is definitely the best —
it’s phenomenal.
“It was a fantastic performance — one of our best of
the season. I can’t believe it only ended up 2-0.”
Ronaldo said: “That was probably my best-ever goal. I
work on this in training and I am very pleased to score.”
Pompey coach Joe Jordan said: “We can play better than
that and we didn’t do ourselves justice.
“But that’s not to take anything away from United.
Ronaldo was exceptional but he wasn’t the only one.”
