English striker and Al-Ahli (Jeddah) forward Ivan Toney has overtaken Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League's top scorer race.

Details: After the 23rd round match of the Saudi Pro League, where Al-Ahli crushed Al-Najma (4-1) and Ivan Toney bagged a second-half hat-trick, the striker became the outright leader in the league's scoring charts. Toney has now netted 23 goals and provided five assists in the championship, having played 21 matches.

With these numbers, Toney has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo: the Portuguese superstar has scored 20 goals in 20 league matches, with just one assist to his name.

Toney has the chance to improve his tally as soon as tomorrow: Al-Ahli will travel to face Damac in a rescheduled match from round 10.
