Premier League 100 club: Cristiano Ronaldo joins list of centurions

Sports Mole looks at the latest standings in the Premier League 100 club after Cristiano Ronaldo became the 33rd player to reach a century in the competition.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the 33rd player to register 100 Premier League goals at the weekend, bringing up the milestone in Manchester United's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

While the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's strike was not enough to earn his side the points on the day, it does add another major landmark to his lengthy list of career achievements.

Ronaldo now has 16 league goals for the season, adding to the 84 he scored during his first spell with Man United between 2003 and 2009.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the latest standings in the Premier League 100 club following Ronaldo's addition.
