Cristiano Ronaldo nets his 20th goal of the season for Al-Nassr just ...

Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 20th goal of the season as Al-Nassr defeated Al Fateh on Sunday.

With Al-Nassr leading their opponents in the closing stages at the Al-Awwal Park, Ronaldo got on the end of a driven cross from former Liverpool star Sadio Mane to seal victory for his side.

The strike marked the 920th goal of Ronaldo's distinguished career, more than two decades after he netted his first for boyhood club Sporting Lisbon and just days before his 40th birthday.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner looked to have added another goal to his tally in the closing stages with an incredible solo effort.

After receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty box Ronaldo shimmied past a defender before lashing his strike beyond the goalkeeper.

The stunning effort was ultimately ruled out by VAR however, with an incredulous Ronaldo later seen saying to a pitchside TV camera: 'Always against me, always cancel my goals.'

But Ronaldo was left frustrated after an incredible stoppage-time strike was ruled out for offside

Ronaldo was seen embracing with long-time friend Piers Morgan following the game, with the veteran journalist later writing on social media that the Portuguese had been 'robbed'.

He wrote: 'BREAKING: Ronaldo robbed of a brilliant ‘offside’ goal tonight - but at least he got a consolation hug from me. Great to see you again'

Despite having his second strike chalked off, Ronaldo's goal on Sunday took his tally for the season up to 14 in the Saudi Pro League, and 20 in all competitions.

Ronaldo is also top of the league's scoring charts, two goals ahead of former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema in second.

However, despite their captain's impressive form, Al-Nassr remain eight points behind league leaders Al-Hilal in the title race having played one more game.
