00:00Ronaldo looking to score a 20th goal of the season today.
00:07He's been working a lot of running, and he's not played that many games, has he?
00:13Jon O'Shea, a strong challenge.
00:16Good ball as well, Ronaldo's away.
00:19All of the extra men in the middle of United.
00:24Here's Ronaldo.
00:26Tripple, good route to come across.
00:32Dobbio, he's quite a tricky player.
00:34As tricky as Ronaldo, but he's given away again to Milner,
00:38who again can't really get in an effective shot.
00:42Enrique, that's in towards Duff, but guided away by Viric.
00:46Hang on, that's been great. So dangerous in this position, O'Shea and Enrique.
00:51Here's Ronaldo.
00:53Saw it on the boot.
00:58Ronaldo's ready to Duff, but O'Shea's in quickly.
01:01Now Ronaldo looking to get United going.
01:06Oh, that's a great pass.
01:08Racing at the goalkeeper, and Milner should have cleared it off the pitch.
01:13Rooney and Ronaldo combined.
01:15There's O'Shea on the overlay.
01:18It's a great ball as well, Tevez is there!
01:24It's caught from Hayek, the ball's a little bit too high for him.
01:30Did Owen keep that in? Yes, he did.
01:32But that's it, clear.
01:34Ronaldo, as Robb has given, has to clear.
01:44That's an attacking force, Newcastle 100.
01:48Now Ronaldo.
01:50Anderson is a threat.
01:53And here's another threat, Ronaldo.
01:55That's a free kick.
01:57Taken quickly, United getting on with this.
01:59Ronaldo.
02:01Surely a penalty.
02:03Robb Styles says no.
02:08Let's have a look at this.
02:11Milner stood his ground to defend and he's caught his knee.
02:17That's a penalty, isn't it?
02:20Cristiano Ronaldo still shaking his head in disbelief.
02:24That was a break on.
02:26Anderson, great threaded through ball.
02:28Is that a foul? No, that's not a foul, no.
02:34Well, there's Dej, Cristiano.
02:36Onside, Ronaldo, given, comes.
02:44Everett, Ronaldo.
02:46That's a free kick.
02:48Thank you, Mr Styles.
02:53Maybe the manager will think United have been a little bit...
02:55Anderson.
02:57Tevez, I thought it was being fouled by Jose Enrique there.
03:00Force for Ronaldo. Ronaldo!
03:02What a save that is. There's the rebound from Giggs.
03:06He's certainly kept Newcastle in the game.
03:08He hopes this will.
03:10That's a tremendous save.
03:12Here's the corner. Carrick there.
03:14That's not it, just wide.
03:18Close, close thing.
03:23Ronaldo gets his head today.
03:25It's a chance.
03:27Target.
03:29It's been one sort of day so far for Cristiano.
03:31He hasn't been able to beat Shea, given.
03:34He has been excellent.
03:36It is their time.
03:38Dying embers of this.
03:40Tevez.
03:42Never footworked Ronaldo.
03:44Can he unleash an effort?
03:46Oh, does well.
03:48A little shove there.
03:50Cristiano Ronaldo could have had a penalty.
03:53Had a great effort saved by given.
03:55Attacking from the off here.
03:57Anderson.
04:01Well, what a pass that was.
04:03Anderson to Ronaldo.
04:05Dancing feet.
04:07Wins the corner.
04:13Whatever the manager said at half-time worked.
04:16Newcastle very, very slack here.
04:19Giggs couldn't get the ball in.
04:21Ronaldo might, though.
04:23Tevez is after it.
04:26Ronaldo knew he'd be offside if he did anything there,
04:29but what a poor clearance by Taylor this time.
04:31Cristiano Ronaldo sliced it.
04:33That's a free kick, cos he's touched his foot.
04:37Amazing to think that...
04:39Let's have a look here.
04:41Salah and Smith, inevitably.
04:43No, he didn't, he didn't do anything.
04:46I thought he touched his foot.
04:50Well.
04:53Mistakenly giving United a free kick, but...
04:57Can Cristiano Ronaldo
04:59wave his magic wand here
05:01and produce something special?
05:04Giggs there as well.
05:07But Ronaldo with that familiar gunsling.
05:10So is this gonna be the moment?
05:13Giggs and Ronaldo.
05:15It is Ronaldo!
05:17Of course it's Ronaldo.
05:19His 20th goal of the season.
05:21Cristiano Ronaldo gets the breakthrough at last.
05:25United 1-0 Newcastle.
05:28Well, he's taken a free kick that surprised everybody.
05:31He's hit it along the surface.
05:33I think most people expect when they take free kicks
05:36to jump up in the air and hopefully get their hands to it,
05:40but he kicks that along the ground
05:43and gives the goalkeeper no chance.
05:45Look at the players jumping up.
05:49The goalkeeper stopped it, didn't he?
05:51Yeah, didn't miss-kick this, did he?
05:54Keeping them down, everybody's used to him playing them high.
05:57Free kicks, he keeps that one on the surface.
06:00FANS SING
06:05I think this season overall, Ronaldo's got 20 in 25.
06:10Those decisions wrong, he got that decision wrong.
06:13But the end result is...
06:15Giggs, Chavez, Ronaldo...
06:19That wasn't along the ground.
06:21United swarming forward, Ronaldo, brick fall in.
06:24What a good header by Taylor.
06:27How did they get it?
06:29Well, I thought it was United fans winding up Newcastle.
06:32Oh, Midyar, where's Midyar?
06:34Didn't get hold of that, did he?
06:36It was an awkward one.
06:38But look at United breaking here.
06:41Look at the face of Cristiano Ronaldo.
06:43Chavez wants it played into him.
06:46I think he was looking for a win.
06:48Smith forward.
06:51But United, at times, attacking in waves.
06:53That was clever from Ronaldo.
06:55Now here's Anderson back to Ronaldo.
07:00Anyway, play on.
07:01Rooney, Ronaldo.
07:03Ferdinand's bursting forward at the right-hand side.
07:06He wants to join the party.
07:08Here he is, Ferdinand.
07:10Not a bad ball in Rooney.
07:11Oh, no!
07:15Ronaldo.
07:17Clever, gets away from Alan Smith.
07:19Must have done that a few times in training.
07:22Giggs.
07:25Ronaldo.
07:30Not a good ball, just Smith and Carrick.
07:33Does well.
07:34Into Rooney.
07:36Chavez.
07:37Oh, this is great.
07:38Ronaldo!
07:39Oh, magic!
07:40Absolute magic from Manchester United.
07:43Ronaldo has got it.
07:45It's his 50th league goal for Manchester United.
07:50And United are ahead here by three goals to nil.
07:53You know, it's funny there, I thought for a second,
07:55Tevin's an over-hitter,
07:57but the control and the pace of Cristiano Ronaldo...
08:01Ronaldo!
08:02There again, Michael Carrick, the one at the start.
08:07I just thought he'd over-hit that, but he didn't, it was spot-on.
08:11And so was Cristiano Ronaldo at spot-on.
08:15And he gives a goal with no chance.
08:20And that's a good job, this is the second half,
08:22and look, the Kop's tough.
08:24What will the scoreline be?
08:29Oh, no.
08:30And he scored 19 goals in 17 appearances.
08:36And it goes on.
08:38It's the fourth...
08:40Ronaldo!
08:46Ronaldo.
08:47He'd love a hat-trick with Nick.
08:51Ronaldo!
08:53No, it was a push there, that's a free-kick.
08:59The third man crosses wide, you begin to wonder where it'll be.
09:03And that boy Ronaldo getting the headlines again,
09:06and he always does.
09:08He finds Ronaldo.
09:11Cristiano Ronaldo, Duff with him.
09:13Oh, dear me.
09:15There was no subtlety about that, was there?
09:18I think that's a send-off.
09:21I think that should be sent off for them.
09:25Fletcher.
09:27Ronaldo, he'll run at the heart of the defence,
09:30gets away from Kacapa, he goes on.
09:32Tevez, wonderful turn, Tevez is denied.
09:35Simpson!
09:36Oh, no!
09:38Come off, Alena.
09:39Oh, he didn't get a touch to that.
09:40Danny Simpson would be thinking,
09:44I thought that was it.
09:45He's looking for support, he's not gotten it.
09:48He's run out of support.
09:49Fletcher.
09:52Ronaldo, Rooney, Ronaldo, Rooney.
09:55Would have been harsh, I think.
09:59O'Shea.
10:02Cleared as far as Ronaldo, is this the hat-trick?
10:04Cristiano Ronaldo, it is!
10:07His first hat-trick for Manchester United.
10:10Cristiano Ronaldo has done it, what a moment for him.
10:15He's got 22 goals for the season, a hat-trick in the second half,
10:21and Manchester United are going top of the table after sweeping Newcastle aside 5-0.
10:28Well, it's a great little dummy here by Cristiano Ronaldo, isn't it?
10:32What's the little dummy here?
10:33I'm going to shoot, no I'm not, I'm going to shoot this time.
10:38I think it takes a little flick off one of the defenders, but it doesn't matter.
10:44Do you think the dubious goals committee say he can't have it?
10:47No.
10:48That lovely little dummy there.
10:49Well done, Cristiano.
10:55He's a star.
10:58No question about that.
10:59Yeah, you're probably right, because in the second half
11:03everyone saved the break from the first whistle.
11:05Mbappé.
11:08Too much there.
11:09No, catch it!
11:10Don't get there.
11:11He's got a bit of a shove.
11:16Well, he had a scowl on his face in much of the first half.
11:21Ronaldo.
11:22Onside, Tevez in the middle.
11:25Nani, not sure what he's doing, he's of the Premier League.
11:28They have beaten Newcastle 6-0,
11:31all the goals coming in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo with a hat-trick.
11:36His first hat-trick for the club.
11:39United were so superior, somehow it was nil-nil at half-time,
11:43but they really cut loose after the interval,
11:46and they go top of the table,
11:49and it's been an outstanding attacking display.
11:52And remember, another clean sheet, Nigel Pearson,
11:55the Newcastle caretaker manager, what could he be thinking?
11:59It's all about Ronaldo again.
12:0122 goals for the season for this superstar.
12:05United have crashed Newcastle 6-0.
12:11Cristiano, your first ever hat-trick in your career,
12:14what does that mean to you at United?
12:16Well, it's a special day.
12:18I'm very happy, of course, for winning the game,
12:21to stay in the top of the league, I think this is the most important.
12:24But, you know, it's always important to score, to help my team,
12:28and I scored a hat-trick today, I'm very proud, I'm very happy,
12:31and I need to keep going like that.
12:33There's been plenty of times when you scored two in a game,
12:35you think it was coming?
12:36Well, this is what I said before,
12:37if I score two in every game I'm very happy,
12:39but today I'll look a few years to score three goals in this massive club,
12:44and I scored today and I'm very proud, I'm very happy.
12:47Do you feel there's real consistency with this team now,
12:49you've gone top of the table again?
12:51Yeah, it's important to stay on top of the table,
12:54if the team play like that in the second half,
12:57I'm sure you are the best team, but you need to keep going like that,
13:00and it's a good moment for the team and for the players.
