Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted limping off the Goodison Park pitch due to two nasty-looking gashes on his left leg after Manchester United’s humiliating 1-0 defeat against Everton on Saturday. Whilst United fans suffered punishment watching another lacklustre Premier League display, Ronaldo had a physically-painful afternoon on Merseyside.
The Red Devils visited relegation-threatened Everton, losing seven of their first nine league games under Frank Lampard, looking to bounce back from last weekend’s tepid 1-1 draw against Leicester City. But Ralf Rangnick couldn’t inspire his side, and the club suffered another damaging defeat in their bid for a top-four finish.
Anthony Gordon’s 27th-minute deflected strike was enough to seal a significant three points in Everton’s survival fight, ensuring United remained in seventh. Ronaldo returned to the starting line-up after missing Leicester’s visit to Old Trafford but was starved of service for most of the game.
When the 37-year-old did get a sniff, he was the target of whole-hearted challenges from the battling hosts. And there were worrying scenes after full-time as he limped off the pitch, showcasing two bloody holes in his left leg, most likely caused by studs.
