It was historic night for Cristiano Ronaldo as the Portuguese forward capped a satisfying victory against Granada on Sunday, with a five goal haul. 

Things started quickly for the "Dark Invader," after scoring a hattrick in less than nine minutes before the first 45 minutes came to an end. A feat that equalled Lionel Messi for La Liga's all-time hat-trick mark.

A truly inspired performance, and a relentless pursuit for goal, lasted the full on 90 minutes allowing Ronaldo to surpass the Barcelona attacker as this year's La Liga's top goalscorer, with 36 to Messi's 32.

Below we've highlighted just how the Portuguese managed that feat. Enjoy!
