Two tales in Manchester!

Image
It was a frustrating match day for Manchester United while Manchester City triumphed away to West Brom. Despite Zlatan and United hitting a record 37 shots, they could not find the back of the net as the Red Devils and Burnley shared the exploits at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo bounces back in style.

Image
After several frustrating matches without finding the back of the net, Cristiano Ronaldo bounced back to shut his critics. It took the Portuguese man only 17 minutes to find the back of the net before rounding off his hat-trick with a neat finish with two minutes to the end of play. Los Blancos will be hoping Ronaldo keeps this form as they hope to lift the League Championship for a first time since 2012.

In July, it announced its investigation was finished.

About 10 percent back a third-party candidate, while 4 percent remain undecided. Clinton’s lead has narrowed from her advantage in recent weeks. Last week, Clinton was up by six points (45 to 39 percent), and in the week before that, the Democratic nominee was up by seven (45 to 38 percent).

In this poll, Gary Johnson takes 14 percent of the Independent voters, with Jill Stein at 7 percent.
