Portuguest superstar Cristiano Ronaldo produced a brilliant second-half performance as he helped push his Juventus side back to the top spot in Serie A as “The Old Lady” defeated Cagliari 4-0 at home on Monday.
After a goalless first half, Ronaldo exploded into life in the second half as he latched on a mistake inside the Cagliari box to fire his first of the day.
The veteran hitman then made no mistake from the penalty spot to double Juve’s lead. Ronaldo then turned provider as he set up Gonzalo Higuain for the Turin side’s third of the day, before wrapping up the three points – and securing the match ball – by rounding off a sweeping counter-attack move to complete a resounding 4-0 victory.
Ronaldo’s goals took his tally to eight goals from his last five games, with the Portugese striker scoring in each of those five outings. Overall, he has 15 goals for the season, including 13 in Serie A.
They were important for his club’s title challenge, too, as they pushed the team back to the top of Serie A, with 45 points won from 18 games played.
