Cristiano Ronaldo insists his latest personal milestone is only significant because it earned Manchester United a vital three points in the race for Champions League football.
The veteran striker, 37, scored the 60th hat-trick of his decorated career as the Red Devils edged out Norwich City 3-2 on Saturday afternoon. The result was an important one because United came into the fixture in poor form having lost 1-0 at Everton and drawn 1-1 with Leicester.
Further, the two other big players in the Premier League top-four contest dropped points in their own fixtures with Tottenham losing 1-0 at home to Brighton and Arsenal beaten 1-0 at Southampton. Just three points separate the trio of clubs as the dramatic run-in begins to hit its stride.
