Cristiano Ronaldo vowed to start scoring free-kicks on a regular basis again after breaking a losing streak that had endured for almost two years. 

The Portuguese international hasn't scored a free kick for the past two seasons .

But on Saturday as the Portuguese fired past Salvatore Sirigu.

“I really needed that free-kick goal so I could get some confidence back,” he explained to Sky Sport Italia.

Juventus defeated Torino 4-1 on Saturday in Turin.

He added: “We knew it would be a difficult game, but we worked hard, won and are now putting pressure on Lazio. We achieved the objective today.

“It doesn’t matter who scores goals, as long as the team wins. We’re all in good shape and will try to win against Milan too, which is another difficult match.”
