Cristiano Ronaldo was at it again on Sunday night, with the Real Madrid star scoring a perfect hat-trick in his side's 6-0 thrashing of Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Portugal international netted his first with a well-struck right-footed penalty after being fouled just 11 minutes into the game.
Ronaldo's second, in the final minute of the first half, was the pick of his three goals as the forward beat former Watford goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis with an unstoppable left-footed effort from just outside the area.
And the three-time Ballon d'Or winner completed his 29th La Liga hat-trick when heading home substitute Jese Rodriguez's left-wing cross.
