Ronaldo penalty gives ManU win

Cristiano Ronaldo’s late penalty gave Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Everton on Sunday and the Red Devils again moved within a point of Arsenal in the Premier League.

Ronaldo fired the spot-kick past former United goalkeeper Tim Howard in the 88th minute, having seen his 22nd-minute long-range strike canceled out five minutes later by Tim Cahill’s header.

The victory gives Alex Ferguson’s team 42 points from 18 games.

Giles Barnes gave Derby a sixth-minute lead at Newcastle but Viduka equalised in the 27th. Kenny Miller then threatened an upset by restoring Derby’s lead in the 52nd minute but Viduka made it 2-2 with a low shot from the edge of the area. The point gained meant Newcastle climbed one spot to 10th.
