&#8211; It&#8217;s All Coming Up<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo continued his brilliant goalscoring form in the Saudi Pro League after scoring the third goal in Al-Nassr&#8217;s 3-1 victory over Al-Wehda on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese superstar notched the final strike in his side&#8217;s dominant display that ensures Al-Nassr stay second in the league standings, four points adrift of top spot.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo&#8217;s goal also meant the 38-year-old stays top of the Saudi Pro League&#8217;s goalscorer charts with 13 goals in 12 matches, 16 in all competitions, keeping him above former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Benzema scored a hat-trick a day previous for Al-Ittihad as the struggling side got back to winning ways in the absence of former manager Nuno Espirito Santos who was sacked just days earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo meanwhile pounced on a mistake in the 50th minute to score for the second consecutive league game.<\/p>\n<p><img

it was another frustrating outing for ex-Liverpool star Sadio Mane who failed to register an assist or score for the fourth consecutive league match.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo continued his impressive Saudi Pro League form having previously scored his 400th goal since turning 30 in their previous match.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an
