Top 5 Cristiano Ronaldo assists

#4 Manchester United vs Aston Villa (for Wayne Rooney)

*****

Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez formed one of the most delightful trios in the Premier League. The three combined gracefully, and the Old Trafford faithful were treated to footballing greatness whilst the three still remained. A small part of that greatness is this ridiculously simple, yet beautiful goal against Aston Villa, the last of a 4-0 rout.

Ronaldo found himself on the edge of the opposition box and must have thought about going for goal - given the sensational form he was in at that time. However, he chose to find Wayne Rooney instead who was left free by the Villa defence.

Ronaldo crept a pass through the defender's legs - a nutmeg - and found Rooney. All the Englishman had to do was slot it past the goalkeeper Scott Carso, which he did with considerable ease.
