Aston Villa fans have stated that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won’t complain about whether Jesse Lingard was infringing Villarreal’s goalkeeper, as Cristiano Ronaldo’s fired home a stoppage-time winner for Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Ever since Ronaldo has returned to England, he has scored in every game so far, apart from Man United’s home defeat to Villa over the weekend.
After that Premier League game, Solskjaer complained about Ollie Watkins being offside and impeding David de Gea’s vision in between the sticks, as Kortney Hause powered home the winning goal from a corner.
Well, there was another late goal at Old Trafford last night, this time it was the home team going crazy in the stands.
After a David Beckham-esque cross from Fred into the penalty area, the ball was headed down by Ronaldo at the far post, into the path of Jesse Lingard, who was falling to the floor in front of Villarreal keeper Gerónimo Rulli.
With Lingard having his back to goal, and on his way down, he provided a deft touch back into the path of Ronaldo, who fired home the winner in stoppage-time.
Villa fans questioned whether the goal should have stood because of where Lingard was placed and started to reference what Solskjaer said from the weekend.
In truth, if the Man United boss didn’t moan about Hause’s winner from Saturday, then Villa fans wouldn’t have said anything about Ronaldo’s goal.
But your comments can sometimes come back to be thrown straight into your face and this is what Villa fans are trying to do here.
In truth, both goals, as they were, should have stood and there was nothing wrong with them.
But this is how the Villa supporters reacted to Ronaldo’s late, late winner yesterday at Old Trafford:
