Cristiano Ronaldo’s late penalty and David De Gea’s heroics gave Manchester United 1-0 Premier League win at Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday.
Ronaldo converted a 75th-minute penalty after the visitors struggled to create chances at Carrow Road.
Ronaldo sent Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul the wrong way from the spot 75 minutes after he had been hauled down by Max Aarons when contesting a cross.
Krul denied Alex Telles, Harry Maguire, and Ronaldo before the break, but his opposite number De Gea was the busier man in the second half.
First, the United ‘keeper tipped a Teemu Pukki shot over before superbly saving Ozan Kabak’s header as Norwich sought an equalizer. Billy Gilmour’s powerful shot was then deflected wide by Eric Bailly.
The result lifted United to fifth place in the standings on 27 points from 16 games, behind fourth-placed West Ham United on goal difference, while Norwich stayed bottom on 10 points.
