Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning goal against Empoli in Serie A as the Portuguese put Juventus 2-1 ahead at Stadio Carlo Castellani.

The score was 1-1, after Ronaldo's earlier penalty, with he collected the ball 30 yards from goal, slightly to the right, and the forward had only one thing in his mind.

Ronaldo shifted the ball out of his feet and lashed a finish into the top corner with power and precision, to register his seventh goal for Juventus since moving from Real Madrid this summer.

Juve dropped their first points of the season last weekend but Ronaldo's goalscoring exploits seemed to set them back on the winning path.
