Former Premier League players Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez were on the scoresheet in Tuesday’s Saudi Pro League fixtures.

Ex-Manchester United striker Ronaldo netted two penalties for Al-Nassr in their 4-0 win over Al-Shabab – and had a goal disallowed in between.

Ronaldo gave up a third penalty to Abdulrahman Ghareeb, but he missed.

The Portuguese set up Mane for a third and hit the post with a header, with Sultan Al-Ghannam netting the rebound.

Ex-Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin set up former Manchester City player Mahrez to score the opener in Al-Ahli’s 2-0 home win over Al-Tai, who had Alfa Semedo sent off in the 35th minute.

Mahrez then assisted Franck Kessie for the second goal as his side joined Al-Ittihad at the top of the table with four wins out of four.
