The result certainly sunk his side deeper into the relegation battle as they are now two points from safety in the Saudi Pro League, although there is still eight games to play before the season ends.

It was jubilation for the visitors, though, as Ronaldo netted a hat-trick and provided an assist in just 44 minutes, while African superstar Sadio Mane also got on the score sheet to help ensure that the Knights of Najd remain firmly in second place on the standing behind Al Hilal, who have a 12-point lead at the top of the SPL table.

Al Nassr boss Luis Castro has since spoken on his team's big win against Mosimane's charges, commending his players' performance.

"We completely controlled the course of the game, and the victory was a natural result of the performance we presented," he said, per Haz Saudi Arabia.

Castro also had some special praise for his captain, adding: "Ronaldo always used to assure us that he is the best in football, and today he did it again.

"The accuracy in the execution of fixed balls is one of the outstanding features that Ronaldo has and any football player wishes to have.

"Cristiano is the perfect model for everyone, whether victory, in Saudi Arabia or even the world."
