Cristiano Ronaldo scores second hat rick in three games

Cristiano Ronaldo has not stopped scoring in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese, who scored a hat-trick on Saturday against Damac, is once again in the limelight.



Three goals in 45 minutes against the seventh-place team put Al Nassr top of the table.



The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus player has now scored eight goals in five matches.



Brutal figures compared to other players in the same competition which perhaps reflect the level of competition he has there.



They are numbers that place him, with still many matches to play, in the race to be the best scorer of the Saudi Professional League.



It is his teammate Talisca who leads the scoring charts with 13 goals.



Cristiano Ronaldo’s first goal was from 11 yards, from the penalty spot; the second came after a filtered pass and with a left-footed shot. The third, just before halftime, finished off a great counterattack.



In the last three games for Al Nassr, Cristiano has seven goals and two assists. The Portuguese is dominant in Saudi Arabia.
