Portuguese Al Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first football player to hit 850 official career goals.

Africa Today News, New York reports that the 38-year-old found the back of the net as the Saudi Pro League side beat Al Hazem 5-1 on Saturday.

It was Ronaldo’s sixth goal in three games. He also provided two assists as Al Nassr recorded a third successive win.

‘Another great team performance! We keep improving. Let’s go @AlNassrFC … 850 career goals and still counting!’ Ronaldo posted on social media.

Ronaldo has now scored 26 goals in his first 30 games in all competitions for Al Nassr. It is just one short of the number he managed in the same number of games at the start of his Real Madrid career.

His longtime rival Lionel Messi currently has 818 career goals.

In another report, Bellingham clinched a 2-1 comeback win over Getafe as Carlo Ancelotti’s men made it four straight victories as the only 100% LaLiga team.

Manchester United striker Greenwood was not in Getafe’s match-day squad following yesterday’s 11th-hour loan move for the season.

But he must have been impressed when Borja Mayoral punished a mistake from Fran Garcia with a shock 11th-minute opener for the visitors.

Spain striker Joselu conjured a close-ranger equaliser soon after the break as Real ramped up the pressure.

And although it came late, Bellingham’s clincher was no great surprise, such was the home side’s dominance of possession.

The £115million summer buy from Borussia Dortmund nipped in for the decider after David Sorias could only parry Nacho’s shot.

It means Bellingham, 20 is LaLiga’s five-goal top scorer – after emulating Ronaldo’s four-game scoring start.

Portugal legend Ron, 38, amassed 450 goals and 120 assists in 438 matches for the Spanish giants from 2009-2018.
