Cristiano Ronaldo hit another new milestone for Al Nassr after he bagged a brace in their 3-1 win over Al Khaleej on Tuesday night. Victory meant his side shot up to third place in the Saudi Pro League, now on 32 points and well-positioned to fight for AFC Champions League qualification, but a ways away from league-leaders Al Hilal on 43 points.

Football's all-time leading goalscorer netted career goals number 918 and 919 on the night and now sits on 13 in the league this season, leapfrogging Al Hilal's Aleksandar Mitrovic in the golden boot race. Ronaldo, 39, has now logged over 100 goal contributions for the Saudi Arabian outfit - 101 in 92 games, including 83 goals and 18 assists.

While the most famous footballer on the planet will be delighted to write even more history, he will undoubtedly have his eyes set on one record. He is now 81 goals away from becoming the first person to ever score 1000 career goals. Al Nassr cruised to victory on the road, aided by Saeed Al-Hamsal's 35th-minute red card. It was a goalless affair until Ronaldo's brace.
