Cristiano Ronaldo has made the best start to life at Juventus of anyone in the last six decades, as he added to his tally in an easy defeat of Fiorentina.
The former Real Madrid man went into Juve’s Saturday clash as Serie A’s second top scorer for 2018-19 behind Genoa’s Krzysztof Piatek, who has netted 10 so far this season.
But he drew level with the Poland international 11 minutes from the end, scoring from the spot to seal a 3-0 win over the Viola in Florence.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Giorgio Chiellini had struck earlier to put the Bianconeri in a commanding position.
With 10 goals in the first 14 Serie A matchdays, Ronaldo has proven that he has lost none of the goalscoring instinct that made him a legend at Madrid.
And what is more, he has also equalled an old record in Turin that has stood since the 1950s.
Not since the great Welsh wizard John Charles in 1957 has a Juve player managed double figures inside the first 14 games of a league season.
