#3 Newcastle United - 8 goals
The first victim of Cristiano Ronaldo's wrath following his return to the Premier League, Newcastle United were completely battered in the Portuguese's second debut for Manchester United. The Red Devils ran out 4-1 victors at home against the Magpies, thanks to a brace from their talisman.
Cristiano Ronaldo has an impeccable record against Newcastle United when it comes to results. Having played 12 matches against the Magpies, the prolific forward has attained victory on a whopping 11 occasions. In addition to his eight strikes, Ronaldo has also laid down five assists in their clashes.
With their recent takeover, Newcastle United are set to become the next superpower in the Premier League. Nevertheless, improvement in their roster would hardly make a difference for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a certified giant-killer.
#2 Aston Villa - 9 goals
Similar to Newcastle United, Aston Villa are one of the many clubs that Cristiano Ronaldo just loves playing against. In fact, Villa are his favorite Premier League victims, as the Portugal international has scored the most (8) against them in the league.
While his failure to score against them in United's controversial 1-0 loss seemed concerning for the fans, Ronaldo will be looking to redeem himself in their upcoming clash. Regardless, his tally of nine goals in just 15 matches is impressive in its own right.
On top of that, Cristiano Ronaldo has been able to snatch a win on 13 occasions against Aston Villa, losing just once. Given their intriguing history, their next Premier League match, taking place on 15th January 2022, has the potential to be an absolute classic.
#1 Tottenham - 10 goals
An unexpected entry in the first place, Tottenham are the Premier League side that Cristiano Ronaldo absolutely loves scoring against. In 18 meetings, the legendary attacker has managed to rack up a tally of 10 goals and five assists against Spurs, decimating them in every instance.
Cristiano Ronaldo has also secured victory in 12 of their encounters. While five of his games against the London-based club have resulted in a stalemate, Spurs have managed to come on top just once.
Manchester United are yet to face Tottenham this season, with Ronaldo waiting eagerly to extend his goalscoring record against his favorite Premier League victims. However, his wait will be short-lived as the Red Devils are set to take on Spurs on 30th October in an all-star brawl.
