Big emotions at the Emirates Stadium!
Cristiano Ronaldo (37) celebrates his comeback in Man United’s 3-1 draw at Arsenal. As befits him with a goal.
► 34 minutes: Sancho lays down for Matic. Ronaldo pushes his cross over the line on the second post with his left. His 100th Premier League goal! And that’s not the only reason why it’s a very, very special…

The Portuguese high fives with his colleagues, then looks up at the sky and points upwards with his left index finger. Salute to the late son!
Background: Four days earlier, Ronaldo had made it public that his twin son had not survived the birth.
But even Ronaldo can’t prevent the defeat. Because compatriot Fernandes (57th) pushes a penalty to the post and the second goal of CR7 is called back because of millimeter offside (60th).
In the end, Arsenal won with goals from Tavares (7th), Saka (32nd / penalty kick) and Xhaka (70th) and extends the lead over Man United to six points. That’s not going to happen with the Champions League for Rangnick and Ronaldo’s team…
