'World's best duo': Fans hail Ronaldo and Fernandes after stunning Man United goal vs Atalanta

Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday night continued his rich vein of form in the Champions League by firing home a brilliant team move to grab an important equaliser against Atalanta.

The Portuguese connection bore fruit once again for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Bruno Fernandes' deft back-heel flick fell into the path of Ronaldo to drive home the equaliser in Italy.

It was Ronaldo's fourth goal in as many European matches since his return to Manchester United and yet again one of huge importance.

As they did in the corresponding fixture at Old Trafford two weeks ago, United found themselves behind after Josip Ilicic ghosted in from the right-hand side and placed a shot through the legs of Luke Shaw which David de Gea fumbled.

Manchester United fans couldn't get enough of the Portuguese connection as they both combined once again to create another piece of brilliance.
