The former Manchester United striker was Man of the Match with three goals and an incredible piece of skill to set up Sadio Mane.
Cristiano Ronaldo was at his scintillating best on Friday evening, scoring a hat-trick as Al-Nassr recorded their first league win of the season with a 5-0 thrashing of Al Fateh.
Ronaldo welcomed former Liverpool and Bayern Munich winger Sadio Mane to Al-Nassr this summer and the pair combined brilliantly for the opening goal. The Portuguese star flicked a perfect backheel towards his onrushing teammate who finished comfortably. Ronaldo is never one to share the limelight, however, and the former Reds frontman grabbed the headlines with his hat-trick goal in the sixth-minute of added-time. It may be one of the easiest finishes of his career, tapping home from two yards after a cross from substitute Nawaf Boushal.
New signing Aymeric Laporte could be in line to make his debut on that evening, having signed from Manchester City in a £23.5million deal.
