Former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra has sent a jovial message to Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Frenchman hitting back at his former teammate's critics after he scored a hat-trick to seal a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening.
After missing the 4-1 derby defeat to Manchester City last weekend, Ronaldo marked his return to the side by netting a brilliant hat-trick, securing United a much-needed win in the process. He notched his first goal of the contest from distance, slamming the ball home past Hugo Lloris, before doubling his tally from close range shortly before half-time, after Harry Kane had brought Spurs level.
Although Spurs drew level for a second time, with Harry Maguire slicing the ball into his own net, Ronaldo found the courage to score once again, this time heading in an Alex Telles corner. That was enough for the home side to clinch the points and for Ronaldo to net just his second hat-trick for the club.
