Cristiano Ronaldo scores landmark goal just days after celebrating his 40th birthday - but new £65m team-mate Jhon Duran steals the show with brace

Al-Nassr discovered a new goalscoring hero in the midst of Cristiano Ronaldo's 40th birthday celebrations.

Ronaldo got his birthday goal as Al-Nassr ran out 3-0 winners over Al-Fayha, but it was January signing Jhon Duran who stole the show.

Starting his first Saudi Pro League game since completing his £65m move from Aston Villa, Duran led from the front for his new team, propelling them on the course to victory.

He needed just 22 minutes to make an impact in Riyadh, driving past ex-Manchester United centre-back Chris Smalling before finishing coolly to break the deadlock.
