Ronaldo breaks goal scoring record to take Juve eight points clear

Oortuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score more than 50 goals in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A after netting a brace on Monday night's 2-1 win over Lazio.

Ronaldo's two goals against Lazio also saw Juventus inch closer towards another Serie A triumph as they go eight-points clear at the top of the table.

The 31-year-old broke the deadlock in the 51st minute, his 50th Serie A goal, and added a second after team mate Paulo Dybala left him with an open goal three minutes later.

"Ronaldo's an amazing player because he has an impressive ability to recover between games," said Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri. "I'm not so much talking about the physical aspect but the mental aspect as well.

"We need to get another four points, every point is difficult at the moment when we're playing every three days, so we’ve got to keep focused."

Ciro Immobile pulled on back for the home team but it wasn;t enough to secure a point for Simone Inzaghi's men.
