Saudi Pro League saw a thrilling encounter last night as table-toppers Al-Hilal made quick work of second-placed Al-Nassr to bag a 3-0 win. Fans were hoping to see a competitive fixture between the two sides. However, Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic had unique plans in mind for the night. The former Fulham star bullied Al Nassr skipper Cristiano Ronaldo during the game as he found the back of the net twice. Neymar Jr, who will miss the rest of the season owing to injury, was watching the game from his home.

While skipper Cristiano Ronaldo made an appearance for the team off the bat, Al-Hilal was the better side on all fronts as they made quick work of the second-placed side. Following the win, Al-Hilal has strengthened their spot on the top of the Saudi Pro League standings.
