ROME (AP) – Cristiano Ronaldo converted two penalties to tie a club record by scoring for a ninth straight game as Serie A leader Juventus bounced back from a rare loss with a 3-0 victory over Fiorentina on Sunday.
The penalties came toward the end of each half as Ronaldo - who appeared bothered by a bloody cut to his ankle during the pre-match warmup - matched David Trezeguet's streak from 2005.
Ronaldo now has 19 goals in the 19 matches he has played in this season's Italian league - only two fewer than he scored in all of last season.
