Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo becomes leading goalscorer in FIFA history

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the leading goalscorer in FIFA history with a stunning hat-trick in Manchester United's crunch clash against top-four rivals Tottenham.

The 37-year-old was sat one behind Austrian-Czech Josef Bican prior to kick-off but wasted no time in matching the remarkable feat, scoring his 805th goal with a sensational long-range strike after just 12 minutes.
