Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet again for Al Nassr as his side beat Al-Ettifaq to keep their title hopes alive in the Saudi Pro League.
Steven Gerrard‘s side were second best throughout on the night, with former Manchester United man Alex Telles also on the scoresheet.
Telles opened the scoring after 43 minutes before former Inter Milan man Marcelo Brozovic doubled the home side’s lead just before the hour mark.
Ronaldo then netted penalty to make it 3-0, with Mohammed Al Kuwaykibi scoring a consolation for the visitors a few minutes from time.
The result took Al Nassr to 10 points off top spot in the Saudi Pro League, with Al Hilal leading the way but having played a game more.
