Cristiano Ronaldo has equalled a Juventus goalscoring record with a double in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Fiorentina.

The Portuguese netted twice from the penalty spot as the Italian champions strengthened their lead at the top of the Serie A table.

The 35-year-old's first strike ensured that he had scored in a ninth successive league match, a run stretching back to December 1.

In doing so, Ronaldo has matched David Trezeguet's club record, while also leaving himself two adrift of Gabriel Batistuta, who netted in 11 straight games for Fiorentina in 1994.

Juventus are in action against Verona next Saturday, before they face a trip to Brescia eight days later.
