Despite some questions regarding his present and future presence at Old Trafford he is Man Utd&#8217;s leading scorer and that status not only remained intact but was emphatically extended.<\/p>\n<p>His first of the day came with the game seven minutes old. Speaking of time, Ronaldo converted Anthony Elanga&#8217;s pass, a significant moment given the age gap (17 years and 81 days) between scorer and provider. It&#8217;s the most a Man Utd goalscorer has been older than the player who assisted him in Premier League history. Ronaldo wouldn&#8217;t have to wait any longer for goal number two. Alex Telles was the provider on this occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Just when United thought they had their prey down for the count, the <em>Canaries<\/em> came back to life, Teemu Pukki was at the heart of everything. He set-up Kieran Dowell before netting a tenth of this campaign subsequently becoming the first Norwich player to do so in multiple Premier League seasons.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Bet UK welcome offer: How to get \u00a330 in free bets<\/h2>\n<p>Qualifying readers* can take advantage of Bet UK&#8217;s sign-up offer by following <strong><a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet-uk?q=uk-all-con-mab-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THIS LINK<\/a> <\/strong>or clicking the image below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/bet-uk?q=uk-all-con-mab-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1253814 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-1024x539.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-110x58.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-133x70.jpg 133w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-66x35.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-80x42.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-180x95.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-380x200.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-1140x600.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-240x126.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-1100x579.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-85x45.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-38x20.jpg 38w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30-330x174.jpg 330w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/03\/24153521\/1253804_1253804_bet-uk-welcome-offer-bet-10-get-30.jpg 1376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>*18+, new customers on mobile only. 7 days to claim and stake \u00a310 minimum bet at odds of 1.5 or greater to qualify.
