Ronaldo finally scores for Juve

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first competitive goal for Italian champions Juventus and then added a second in last night's fourth Serie A game of the season, against Sassuolo in Turin.

The 33-year-old tapped in on the line after a goalmouth scramble on 50 minutes, and added a second 15 minutes later as the Old Lady led 2-0.

Khouma Babacar pulled one back for Sassuolo but Juventus held on to win 2-1.

Ronaldo was the star signing of the summer, following a 100-million euro (S$159.8m) deal from Real Madrid.
