Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in each of his five league appearances for Juventus this season
Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in four minutes as Serie A champion Juventus beat Cagliari and climbed to second in the table.
Ronaldo found the net in the 38th and 42nd minutes to lift Juve from eighth place, putting them one point behind leaders Milan, who are one game short.
The Portuguese is tied at the same level as Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic with eight goals at the top of the Serie A scorers list.
Milan will travel to fourth-ranked Napoli on Sunday.
Juve have played one more match than the rest of the top five, so their second-place occupation may only be temporary.
With four wins and four draws, they remain undefeated in the league this season, alongside Milan and Sassuolo, third.
That includes a 3-0 over Napoli, a result that was awarded when Napoli missed a match in October.
