It was all about breaking record for Real Madrid super star, Cristiano Ronaldo as he scored his 48th career hat-trick – and his fifth for his country – as Portugal beat the Faroe Islands 5-1 to strengthen their grip on the play-off spot in Group B
He also moved clear of former Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko to become the highest European scorer in World Cup qualifying matches, taking his total to 29.
His first was his best, a stunning third-minute bicycle kick following a right-wing cross from Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva.
BBC Sports reports that Norwich forward Nelson Oliveira also scored for Portugal, who remain three points behind group leaders Switzerland, 3-0 winners over Andorra.
Hungary remain third, eight points behind Portugal with three matches remaining, after beating Latvia 3-1.
