Cristiano Ronaldo has shattered two more goalscoring records after bagging a brace in Al-Nassr's 4-2 victory over rivals Al-Ittihad on Monday.

The Portuguese superstar was at his brilliant best as he fired the Saudi Arabian hosts into the lead on the stroke of half time before doubling their advantage in the 69th minute.

Al-Ittihad, featuring former Chelsea star N'Golo Kante and ex-Liverpool midfielder Fabinho, looked to fight back with two goals near the end of the match but were unable to undo the damage done by Ronaldo and Co.


The evening was all about Ronaldo as his outstanding performance saw the 39-year-old continue his usual career trend of breaking new records.

Two strikes against Al-Ittihad ensured the former Real Madrid, Man United, and Juventus star would become the new holder for the most goals scored in a single Saudi Pro League season.
