Ronaldo Scores On His 1,000th Game, Equals Serie A Consecutive Scoring Record

Want to mark your 1,000th senior game in style? How about scoring in a record-equalling 11th consecutive Serie A game?
That's what Cristiano Ronaldo did - the Juventus forward responding in style to news of Lionel Messi's four-goal haul for Barcelona earlier in the day.
Ronaldo, 35, met Juan Cuadrado's cross to equal the Italian top-flight record, shared with Gabriel Batistuta and Fabio Quagliarella.
Aaron Ramsey added a second for the Serie A leaders in a 2-1 win over SPAL.
Ramsey's delightful finish on the hour, in which he chipped the ball over goalkeeper Etrit Berisha after great work by Paulo Dybala, proved
decisive - as Andrea Petagnalater pulled one
back for bottom side SPAL from the penalty
spot.
Victory sees Maurizio Sarri's Juventus move four
points clear at the top of Serie A, with title rivals
Lazio and Inter Milan not in action until Sunday.
Portugal international Ronaldo, who also struck
the crossbar with a free-kick in the closing
stages, has scored 16 times during his record-
equalling 11-game run in the league.
With 36 goals in 36 games for club and country
this season, Ronaldo will have the opportunity
to break the Serie A record goalscoring streak
against Inter Milan on Sunday 1 March.
