Cristiano Ronaldo Ends Goal Scoring Drought With Stunning Flying Header

• Cristiano Ronaldo scored a picturesque header to end his goal-scoring drought
• It was Ronaldo's first goal since scoring a brace against Al Adalh on April 4
• Since swapping Europe for the Middle East, Ronaldo has bagged 12 goals in 12 league games for Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo brought his three-game goal-scoring drought to an end with a sublime header as Al-Nassr thumped Al-Raed four-nil on Friday evening.

Ronaldo had endured a difficult past few weeks, helplessly watching on as Al-Nassr's league title ambitions slowly slip away while crashing out of the Saudi King Cup.

Nonetheless, the Real Madrid record scorer managed to put the disappointing streak of results behind him to roll back the hands of time, scoring a trademark header to give Al-Nassr a deserved lead against the lowly-placed Al-Raed, Sky Sports reports.

Following a goalmouth scramble Sultan Al Ghannam located Ronaldo with a tailor-measured cross, who made no mistake by carefully narrowing a header into the empty net to give the home side the lead.

Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates suffered another setback in their recent run of games, losing narrowly to Al Wehda in the semifinal of the competition.

Following the end of the game, the micro-blogging App, Twitter, was buzzing, with the 38-year-old trending at No.1. Social media users took turns to troll the former Real Madrid goal machine, with a number urging him to consider calling time on his career.
