CR7 continues impressive form as 38-year-old scores his 16th goal of the season
Cristiano Ronaldo continued his brilliant goalscoring form in the Saudi Pro League after scoring the third goal in Al-Nassr's 3-1 victory over Al-Wehda on Saturday.
The Portuguese superstar notched the final strike in his side's dominant display that ensures Al-Nassr stay second in the league standings, four points adrift of top spot.
Ronaldo's goal also meant the 38-year-old stays top of the Saudi Pro League's goalscorer charts with 13 goals in 12 matches, 16 in all competitions, keeping him above former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema.
Benzema scored a hat-trick a day previous for Al-Ittihad as the struggling side got back to winning ways in the absence of former manager Nuno Espirito Santos who was sacked just days earlier.
Ronaldo meanwhile pounced on a mistake in the 50th minute to score for the second consecutive league game.
Al-Nassr defender Oscar Duarte was at fault for the decisive goal as his header back towards goal allowed Ronaldo to tap-in from close-range.
Ronaldo was lurking just inside the box and finished with his first touch as the opposition goalkeeper attempted to close down the space inside the box.
His deft effort tipped the ball into the net and give the impressive visitors a three-nil lead in the match.
Ronaldo's former Manchester United team-mate Alex Telles was also on the scoresheet as he grabbed the first goal of the game after just 11 minutes.
However, it was another frustrating outing for ex-Liverpool star Sadio Mane who failed to register an assist or score for the fourth consecutive league match.
Ronaldo continued his impressive Saudi Pro League form having previously scored his 400th goal since turning 30 in their previous match.
