Former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo hit a first-half hat-trick for Al-Nassr and charged into the race for the golden boot.

The 38-year-old needed a few games to adapt to Saudi Arabia but is now hitting goals with regularity.

His hat-trick today means he has now netted eight times in his last four games. Al Nassr won 3-0 at Damac.

His goal glut means he is now in joint-fourth in the Saudi Pro League scoring charts.

Anderson Talisca leads with 13 goals from 15 appearances, while Ronaldo already has eight in only five games.
