Juventus sealed a comfortable 3 – 1 victory over 10-man Sassuolo in the Serie A to occupy fourth place on the log with seven points behind leaders AC Milan and a game at hand.
Danilo had opened scoring for the Biaconneris before Gregoire Defrel replied for the visitors but goals from Aaron Ramsey and Cristiano Ronaldo were enough for the host to pick up the much needed three points.
Ronaldo’s goal at added time meant the Portuguese is now leveled with Josef Bican as the football all-time top scorer.
Bican, who represented the likes of Rapid Vienna, Slavia Prague and Dynamo Prague during his playing days, as well as Austria and Czechoslovakia at international level, before retiring in 1955 scored a total of 759 goals.
The 35-year-old is now on the brink of arguably his proudest achievement to date. He needs just one more goal to become the highest scoring player ever.
Brazil and Santos great Pele argues that he scored 1,283 goals during his illustrious career, but many of those were not in official matches.
Ronaldo also leads the way at the top of the Serie A scoring charts this term, his 15 goals placing him three ahead of Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku.
