Manchester United's dramatic win over Aston Villa yesterday showed just why they are champions - and why Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world.United were drifting nowhere when they trailed Villa 2-1 with 10 minutes left.
They couldn't bring Wayne Rooney or Paul Scholes off the bench as they were both suspended.
It was very difficult to see where they were going to score from and even Ronaldo was having a poor game by his standards.
A lot of attention will go to debutant Federico Macheda, who scored the injury-time winner, but Ronaldo showed his class when it mattered, too.
I remember Steven Gerrard scoring a goal which sparked Liverpool's comeback when they won the Champions League final against AC Milan in 2005.
Ronaldo did the same yesterday when he equalised from outside the box in the 80th minute. I am not a fan of his theatrics but his brace showed his importance to United.
This title race remains on but United will come out on top.
