Fans back Cristiano Ronaldo to 'rewrite Saudi league history' after the Portuguese legend scores the 62nd hat-trick of his career to guide title-chasing Al-Nassr to a comfortable victory

Fans have hailed Cristiano Ronaldo as the Portuguese legend scored his second hat-trick in five matches for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.

The 38-year-old has enjoyed a successful start to life in Saudi Arabia since joining Al-Nassr on a contract worth £175-million-a-year.

Ronaldo's instant impact continued with the former Manchester United star scoring three first half goals against Damac.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with a penalty into the top left hand corner, before doubling their advantage with a composed finish from the edge of the area.

His first-half hat-trick was completed with a close range finish, following a cutback from Abdulrahman Ghareeb.
