Patrice Evra has blasted Jamie Carragher for his criticisms of Cristiano Ronaldo, urging him to 'stay in line' after Ronaldo's record-breaking 801st goal in a 3-2 win against Arsenal on Thursday.
Former Liverpool defender Carragher was embroiled in a furious row with Red Devils icon Roy Keane last week, insisting the 36-year-old is 'not the player he was'.
But after netting twice in the victory against the Gunners - including the winner from the penalty spot - Evra called out Carragher's 'hate' for Ronaldo, as Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry heaped praise on the Portuguese forward.

He said: 'There's lot of talk about this player and I really don't understand it. Some player like Jamie Carragher he had 737 games, today Cristiano scored 801 goals. And those kind of people talk about Cristiano.
'Sometimes I just think people have to stay in their line and I don't understand that hate. Sometimes people wake up and want to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo.'
Shearer interrupted: 'You have to put that into perspective, by the way. 801 goals. 801!
