Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo is being celebrated after his hat-trick in victory over Tottenham.

Sky Sports pundits were in awe of Ronaldo's performance.

Ex-United defender Gary Neville said: "Cristiano Ronaldo was absolutely sensational. What a response to last weekend, when he missed out.

"[The first goal] was absolutely brilliant. Ronaldo was the star of the show. It was a special goal.

"It stuns me that someone so talented and so skilful can be such a good header of a ball.

"He is so single-minded. He thinks he is the greatest of all-time and he wants to play all the time. These are goals scored at the highest levels."

Former United captain Roy Keane added: "Ronaldo has had criticism but the way he turned up tonight - he's been doing that throughout his career. Amazing.

"He has a huge part to play in the rebuilding of the club. You need Ronaldo in your team when he's producing like that.

"Has he been at his best this season? Probably not, but when he's playing, you have a better chance of winning football matches. If he's playing week in, week out, he will produce for you.

"It's about moments. Ronaldo has done that for years. He produces those moments.

"Scoring goals is the hardest part of the game. To score that many goals, what more can you say? The guy is a genius."
