Late penalty saves Man Utd

Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo helped Manchester United move back to within a point of Premier League leaders Arsenal after a 2-1 win over Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Everton had looked set to extend their unbeaten run to 14 matches but a rash challenge by Steven Pienaar on Ryan Giggs resulted in an 88th-minute penalty that Ronaldo converted to secure all three points.

The Portuguese winger, who has now scored 16 goals in all competitions this season, had given the champions the lead midway through the first-half with Australian midfielder Tim Cahill equalising five minutes later.
