Ronaldo celebrates 850th career goal in Al-Nassr win

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 850th career goal as Al Nassr won 5-1 at Al-Hazm in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday.

Ronaldo scored his sixth goal in his last three games and claimed two assists as Al Nassr recorded a third straight league victory. Sadio Mane was also on the scoresheet.

"Another great team performance! We keep improving. Let’s go @AlNassrFC.. 850 career goals and still counting!” the 38-year-old Ronaldo posted on social media.

After Al Nassr lost their first two league games this term, last season's runners-up, who have scored 14 goals in their last three games, are now just four points off leaders Al-Hilal.

Ronaldo is the league's top scorer this season with six goals, one ahead of former Liverpool forward Mane.

In another exciting match, Aleksander Mitrovic's hat-trick propelled the league leaders to a thrilling 4-3 victory against Al-Ittihad on Friday, with Karim Benzema adding to the hosts' scoreline.

Another great team performance !
We keep improving.
Let’s go @AlNassrFC ??
