Cristiano Ronaldo scores first Serie A goals for Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo finally got off the mark in the league for Juventus to bring his goalscoring drought to an end.  The 33-year-old had so far failed to find the net after the first three games of the Serie A season, but the Portuguese opened his account as Juventus hosted Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon. Ronaldo opened the scoring in Turin with his 28th attempt on goal since completing a £99m move from Real Madrid in the summer, pouncing on a defensive mix up to tap in from two yards out. 15 minutes later former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can teed-up Ronaldo to double his league tally for the season. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner broke his duck just days after Juventus manager Max Allegri backed him to find form against Sassuolo.

Cristiano Ronaldo adds a second for Juventus
“Cristiano worked well and I think Sunday could be his day,” Allegri told reporters earlier this week.

“I believe that Cristiano deserves to win the FIFA World Player award, even if Modric has had a phenomenal year as well.”
