"We're hungry for more, let's keep going" - Cristiano Ronaldo reacts on social media after starring for Al-Nassr in 3-1 win in SPL fixture

Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo wants his side to continue their momentum following their 3-1 Saudi Pro League home win over Al-Ettifaq on Friday (December 22).

Alex Telles opened the scoring for the hosts two minutes before half-time before Marcelo Brozovic doubled their lead on the cusp of the hour mark. Captain Ronaldo added gloss to the scoreline 17 minutes from time before Mohammed Al Kuwaykibi pulled one back in the 85th minute.

However, Al-Nassr held on for their third straight league win to move to within 10 points of runaway leaders Al-Hilal (50), who have played a game more. Ronaldo posted a picture of celebrating in front of fans as he captioned on Instagram:

"Third consecutive win! We’re hungry for more. Let’s keep going Al Nassr!"

Since losing 3-0 to Al-Hilal in the league earlier this month, Ronaldo and Co. have won three of their next four games, twice in the league and once in the King's Cup quarterfinal. They next take on Al-Ittihad away on Tuesday (December 26) in the league.
