Ronaldo scores five goals in one match for first time

Cristiano Ronaldo
scored five goals
in one match for
the first time in
his career as Real
Madrid hammered Granada 9-1
on Sunday.
Ronaldo has scored four goals in
a single game three times since
joining the Blancos from
Manchester United in 2009, most
recently in September last year,
but never before in the three-
time Ballon d'Or winner's career
has he bagged five efforts in 90
minutes.
His five-star performance against
Granada, who are four points off
the bottom of La Liga, leaves him
level with Barcelona rival Lionel
Messi in terms of hat-tricks in the
Spanish top flight.
Ronaldo almost doubled his tally
for goals in 2015 in La Liga (he
now has 11 for the calendar year
and 36 for the season in the
Primera Division) and now sits
eighth on the all-time list having
overtaken former Real Madrid
striker Pahino this weekend.
The 30-year-old will be delighted
that he has scored four goals in a
single game more than twice in a
season for the first time in his
professional career, while
toppling his own record for his
fastest hat-trick.
