Cristiano Ronaldo has got his fans buzzing on social media after scoring his first hat-trick of the new year, 2020 on Monday.
The 34-year-old, sporting a new-look top knotted hairstyle, scored the three goals in Juventus’ 4-0 thumping of Cagliari in an Italian Serie A match.
He rounded Cagliari goalkeeper Robin Olsen to slot home what would be the first of a barrage of goals.
Pulling off his trademark celebration, Ronaldo’s appetite for scoring was only about to grow, with 17 minutes separating his first and second goals.
Team-mate Paulo Dybala helped the veteran forward add to his growing tally, after being felled in the box following a mesmerizing run.
Ronaldo stepped up and slotted the ball away with aplomb, adding to Olsen’s humiliation by sending the ‘keeper the wrong way.
With ten minutes remaining in the tie, Ronaldo remained alert and diligent, screaming for the ball after a swift counter-attack before keeping defenders at bay and finding the bottom corner at close range.
It capped off an emphatic 4-0 demolition for the home side, as substitute Gonzalo Higuain also found the back of the net.
Ronaldo is now on 13 league strikes for the season and sits in second place in the Serie A scoring stakes.
