Cristiano Ronaldo dropped iconic celebration due to joke with Man Utd teammates

When Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 700th club career goal against Everton, many expected the Manchester United forward to pull out his trademark 'sui' celebration.

The 37-year-old showed tremendous composure to beat Jordan Pickford as he netted the winner for the Red Devils at Goodison Park. United had fallen behind within the opening eight minutes to a fine Alex Iwobi strike, before Antony levelled the scores on the quarter of an hour mark.

Ronaldo, who replaced the injured Anthony Martial on 29 minutes, had the last laugh amid criticism directed at the Portuguese star as he struck his second goal of the season. It was a fine win for the Red Devils as they returned to winning ways in the Premier League following their crushing defeat in the Manchester derby.
