- Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in history to reach 700 club goals on Sunday night at Goodison Park.

Cristiano Ronaldo reached 700 club goals on Sunday night after scoring against Everton.
The Manchester United star is the first player in history to score 700 goals for club.
Goodison Park did not look like the venue where Cristiano Ronaldo would set the record since he was not in the starting lineup.
However, the Portuguese international got the chance to score his 700th club goal after he replaced Anthony Martial in the 29th minute.
Anthony Martial had suffered an injury and could not continue with the game. The France international, however, assisted Manchester United’s first goal scored by Anthony.
Cristiano Ronaldo replaced Anthony Martial when the match was tied 1-1. Casemiro was at fault for Everton’s first goal, scored by Alex Iwobi.
However, the Brazilian midfielder redeemed himself a few minutes before the half-time break as he assisted Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal.

Casemiro played a delightful through ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who gave Manchester United the lead towards half-time.
Before slotting the ball past Jordan Pickford’s bottom corner at the near post, Cristiano Ronaldo showed individual brilliance.
The Portuguese forward made a good run and held the pressure from Conor Coady before scoring the goal. Ronaldo’s goal earned him man of the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo reaching 700 club goals is the latest achievement in his illustrious career. The iconic No 7 has so far scored 144 goals for Manchester United during his two spells with the club.
He scored 118 times in 298 appearances in his first spell with Manchester United. In his second spell, the 37-year-old has so far scored 26 goals in 48 matches.
