Filed Under Premiership | 6 Comments

ron1.jpgRonaldo scored his 28th premiership (38th overall) goal of the season today against Arsenal after a Gallas handball.

Arsenal took the lead with Adebayor’s goal on 48 minutes after he poked in Robin van Persie’s cross from close range. Ronaldo then made it 1-1 after 54 minutes from the penalty spot. He had to take the penalty twice, because of encroaching players, but he cooley slotted home against Lehmann the second time around.

Hargreaves curled in a great free-kick with 18 minutes left to win United the game.

Arsenal had some good moments, and Ferguson even admitted so himself, but united shone through and pushed towards the title.
