Piers Morgan made an embarrassing error when defending Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo by getting the club's Premier League result against Tottenham wrong.
Ronaldo has drawn heavy criticism after snippets from an interview with Morgan emerged after his teammates beat Fulham with a last-gasp winner from Alejandro Garnacho on Sunday night. Since then, the focus has been fixed on the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
It has been a headline-driven season for the Portugal captain despite his bit-part role on the pitch. He expressed a desire to leave the club for a second time in the summer, missed the pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia due to personal reasons and then refused to come off the bench during a 2-0 win over Tottenham last month.
