Ronaldo has once again proven to be decisive for Juventus, scoring a goal in every half to bring his league-leading score to 14 this season and to kick Federico Chiesa off after the break.
Paulo Dybala added fourth depth in added time as Andrea Pirlo’s side went from their first loss of the season to Fiorentina last time around.
Following his last two goals – numbers 757 and 758 of his career – Ronaldo edged Brazilian legend Pelé on the all-time scorers list.
Pelé ended his career with 757 goals for Santos, New York Cosmos and Brazil.
Only Austrian forward Josef Bican is now ahead of him in the all-time standings, but Ronaldo won’t have to wait long to top him, needing just one more goal to tie his tally and two to become the absolute leader.
Lionel Messi is further behind Ronaldo on the list with 742 goals, despite having played 200 fewer games in his career.
