Cristiano Ronaldo has continued his impressive scoring form for Al Nassr as the Portuguese forward scored the 960th goal of his professional career on Wednesday.
Undoubtedly one of the greatest football players in history, Ronaldo has continued to prove age is just a number. His latest performance helped title-chasing Al Nassr to a crucial win in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo doubled his side’s score as they beat lowly Damac 2-1 away from home to move up to second in the table and within four points of leaders Al Hilal.

The former Real Madrid forward has now scored in nine of his last 10 away games for Al Nassr.
Ronaldo, 40, said last month he would not retire before reaching the career milestone of 1,000 goals. He has also set his sight on winning the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr this season.
Abdulrahman Ghareeb had opened the scoring for Al Nassr in the fifth minute.
Jamal Harkass pulled one back in the 68th minute but Al Nassr held on for the victory.
Ronaldo thought he had claimed a late second but his effort was ruled out for offside.
