Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on his return to Manchester United after 12 years in a 4-1 win over Newcastle in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Ronaldo’s tap-in in the first half and a short strike after the break after Javier Manquillo equalized.
Ronaldo’s compatriot Bruno Fernandes finished third and Jesse Lingard finished United’s third win in four league games in stoppage time.
The 36-year-old Portugal forward made an unexpected comeback at United when he was sold by Juventus last month.
Tottenham became the last team to lose their perfect record after falling 3-0 at Crystal Palace after Odsonne Edouard scored twice to add to a penalty by Wilfried Zaha on Saturday.
The Spurs won their opening three games of the season under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo – all by a score of 1–0 – but were without first-choice players at Selhurst Park and were outplayed.

Arteta, who was reportedly given four games to save his job after Arsenal’s worst start to the league campaign in 67 years, said the international break was one of the most instructive periods of his career.
