Cristiano Ronaldo gets his wish after furious referee rant overheard during Al-Nassr win

Al-Nassr left it late, but moved back to the top of the Saudi Pro League, with VAR playing a pivotal role throughout their narrow 2-1 win over Al-Taawoun.

Just last week, Cristiano Ronaldo was all smiles with referee Sultan Al-Harbi, asking the official to sign his first hat-trick ball in the country. It was a different story in his latest appearance though, after his side were denied what looked like a clear first-half penalty. But after furiously telling the officials to "wake up" they intervened to help his side leave with all three points.

Ronaldo finally found his feet in his new country last time out, scoring all four goals in the rout of Al-Wehda. And in the early goings against Al-Taawoun, the ex-Manchester United star looked like he may take the game over again.
