Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo’s long range bullet has won March’s Budweiser Goal of the Month award.
It was the first time the Portuguese has claimed the honour.
The Manchester United forward received the accolade for the first goal of his hat-trick in a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Ronaldo picked up the ball from Fred’s flick 25 yards from goal and arrowed an unstoppable, swerving shot beyond goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

The award joins that of September’s EA SPORTS Player of the Month that Ronaldo has claimed since his return to Old Trafford in the summer.
That adds to the four previous Player of the Month accolades, two Player of the Season awards and a Golden Boot from his first spell at Man Utd.
Ronaldo is Man Utd’s first Budweiser Goal of the Month winner since Edinson Cavani’s exquisite long-range chip against Fulham took the May 2021 prize.
The Portuguese’s effort beat competition from seven other spectacular goals shortlisted for March’s honour.
