Cristiano Ronaldo scored a sensational long-range goal as Juventus turned on the style to beat Genoa 3-1 in Serie A on Tuesday evening and maintain their four-point lead at the top of the table.

Juve scored three brilliant second-half goals though Paolo Dybala, Ronaldo and Douglas Costa to make it six consecutive league victories, after which boss Maurizio Sarri said he believes the combination play between his forwards is improving.

Bruno Fernandes scored twice in a game for the first time since joining Manchester United as the Red Devils cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday.

The visitors were in charge from the first whistle and imposed their play on Brighton with ease ahead of going two goals up inside half an hour through Mason Greenwood and Fernandes. The Portuguese then added a second after the break from a Greenwood cross to cap a fantastic United counter-attack and put the seal on three well-deserved points.

When Pedro Rebocho arrived at Turkish club Besiktas on a season-long loan deal last summer, many who had followed the Portuguese full-back tipped the move as a potential bargain for the Istanbul giants.

Almost 11 months on and Rebocho has departed the club after a year disrupted by unpaid wages and exclusion from the team due to contractual stipulations, leaving the former Benfica man to reflect on a mixed experience in a city and fanbase which lived up to expectations sadly unfulfilled by his employers.

André Silva’s typical poacher’s goal for Eintracht Frankfurt on the final day of the Bundesliga season on Saturday was a fitting end to the campaign for arguably Portugal’s most in-form player.

The former Porto striker found the net after a little over half an hour of Frankfurt’s victory over Paderborn, and it meant Silva ended the German league season having continued his best goal-scoring run since leaving Portugal three years ago.
