Angry Ronaldo! The star Portuguese scored against Newcastle, but his cheeky attempt was disallowed by the referee

Frustrating Sunday for Ronaldo. Manchester United played their eleventh round Premier League match against Newcastle United, which ended in a goalless draw. However, one goal was scored in this contest, but the referee did not concede it to Ronaldo and then even awarded him a yellow card. Why?

The Red Devils only drew 0:0 at home against Newcastle United, although it can be said that they outplayed their opponents.

Manchester United scored one goal at the end of the first half, namely Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the 48th minute, a direct free kick was taken by the visiting team’s goalkeeper Nick Pope. However, he did not touch the ball, which is why the standard situation cannot be considered as a set piece. Although the ball was not played, Ronaldo took the ball from the Newcastle goalkeeper and scored.

The joy of the goal didn’t last long, however, as the referee saw Ronaldo’s cheeky effort and subsequently awarded him a yellow card. Needless to say, the United players had quite a discussion with the referee afterwards.

The game went to the booths with a scoreless 0:0. In the second act, the Portuguese legend fell in the penalty area of Newcastle, but referee Pawson did not give a penalty, his decision was helped by the video.

The home side had more of the play in the following minutes, but no goals were scored from the opportunities created. Even from the huge chances that Marcus Rashford had in the 82nd minute and Fred in the 89th minute.

Rashford had another chance in the fifth minute of stoppage time, but his header went just wide of the left post. Manchester United couldn’t follow up their win at Everton and drew 0-0 with Newcastle.

The Red Devils are currently in fifth place after nine games, having accumulated 16 points so far. Newcastle are right behind Erik ten Hag’s charges in the table with 15 points.
