Ronaldo rewrites the record books again

The striker bagged his 18th league goal of the season, slamming home a penalty he earned against Brentford, after earlier having a strike chalked off by VAR.

As a veteran aged 37 or over, it means he matches Johnny Hancocks's feat from 1955/56, with games at Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace still to come, with Preston North End legend Tom Finney one goal behind.
