Manchester United hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo has been lauded by Gary Neville as one of the 'greatest football players'.
Ronaldo netted a treble upon his return to the first team, following his stint with injury, to down Antonio Conte's side and rejuvenate their Champions League chances. He took home the match ball with a thumping header to give the Reds the lead for a third time.
His first-half double made him the top goalscorer in the history of men's football with his rocket of an opener setting the pace for a frantic game with their European contenders. The 37-year-old has been pinpointed for criticism for his return but he silenced his doubters with his first hat-trick since his return and just his second ever in the Premier League.
