BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United forward scores 700th club goal of career - Check out how each goal was scored

Cristiano Ronaldo reached another landmark in his illustrious career by scoring his 700th club goal as Manchester United defeated Everton.

The goal took the 37-year-old Portugal forward's tally to 144 for United in his two spells at the club.

He scored 450 for Real Madrid, 101 for Juventus and five for Sporting Lisbon.

Sunday's goal at Goodison Park was only the second of the season for Ronaldo, whose 699th goal came in the Europa League against FC Sheriff in September.

Ronaldo started the Everton game on the bench but came on for the injured Anthony Martial in the 29th minute and scored what proved to be the winner 15 minutes later as United went 2-1 up.

Last year, Ronaldo made history by going top of the scoring charts in men's international football.

A brace for Portugal against the Republic of Ireland moved him onto 111 goals for his national team, overtaking Ali Daei, who scored 109 times for Iran between 1993 and 2006.

At club level, he is also the all-time top scorer in the Champions League with 140 goals - 13 more than long-time rival Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo's latest strike also extended his advantage over Messi in total club goals scored, with the Argentina forward on 691 for Paris St-Germain and Barcelona.

How Ronaldo has scored his goals

Team	Games played	Goals	Right foot	Left foot	Head	Other
Sporting	31	5	3	1	1	0
Manchester United	340	144	97	22	24	1
Real Madrid	438	450	298	81	70	1
Juventus	134	101	62	21	18	0

Ronaldo's goal against the Toffees was a rare left-foot finish.

Most of the goals in his career have come off his right boot, with that method accounting for 66% of his tally.

In contrast, 17% of his goals have been headers.

Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of his goals have also come from inside the box, with 473 of his finishes being inside the area.

Ronaldo's goalscoring record for club and country is unrivalled, but there is a danger he could see his club tally come under threat this season.

Messi is just nine behind the forward and has been in far more prolific form so far this season. The Argentina forward has scored seven goals in 12 games for PSG this campaign, including four in his last four appearances.

Having Messi on his heels will no doubt keep the hunger for goals burning inside Ronaldo.
