According to statistics, this is the first time since December 1998 that Manchester United has lost points in two consecutive Premier League games with a half-time lead, setting a 24-year record of humiliation. As the team's number one star, Ronaldo also fell into a slump, scoring the longest goal drought in 13 years after 6 games without scoring.
