A solo-effort goal by Ronaldo (Video)

Birmingham F.C. 0 Manchester United 1

United claim another 1-0 win to go second

*Photos/Videos will be online tomorrow*

Cristiano Ronaldo struck five minutes after half-time to give Manchester United victory at Birmingham and move them second in the Premier League.

United lost keeper Edwin van der Sar through injury at half-time and had to survive a spirited Birmingham display.

Van der Sar saved well from Cameron Jerome and Rio Ferdinand cleared off the line from Gary McSheffrey.

Ronaldo grabbed the winner when he took advantage of Franck Queudrue's error to round Maik Taylor and score.

It was Ronaldo's 100th Premier League start, and the display summed up United's season so far - failing to scale the heights but grinding out the victory.

FERGIE FURY OVER COLE TACKLE

Sir Alex Ferguson has launched a bitter attack on Joe Cole for the tackle he felt should have seen Chelsea reduced to nine men at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Chelsea were already a goal and a man down when Cole launched himself at Cristiano Ronaldo during the second half of his side's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.

Getting nowhere near the ball, Cole caught Ronaldo crudely on the ankle but was only booked by referee Mike Dean, a move which triggered a furious reaction from Ferguson, whose mood had not changed after the final whistle.

"Joe Cole should have been sent off," said the Scot.
"Tackles like that are a danger to players. He went right down the back of his leg and could have done some real damage.

"It is the type of thing Cristiano is facing all the time now but Cole got off with it because the referee was balancing things out after the first sending-off."

Cristiano Ronaldo is dating Eurovision singer

Footie ace has new girlfriend - Luciana Abreu

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is reported to be dating Portuguese beauty Luciana Abreu – a Eurovision Song Contestant singer and TV star.

Luciana auditioned for Idolos, the Portugese version of Pop Idol, in 2004 but didn't make it to the final.

A year later the 22-year-old performed for Eurovision as half of duo 2B but again failed to make her mark.

Her big break in showbiz came when she won the lead role in TV show Floribella, playing a poor girl who falls in love with a rich guy.

Cristiano, 22, has remained tight-lipped about his new relationship - despite Luciana being spotted sitting with his sister Katia at a football match in Lisbon.

To catch a glimpse of Luciana, see her perform at the 2005 Eurovision Contest…
