Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr produced a stunning late comeback in the Saudi Pro League to stay top of the table.
The league leaders defeated bottom of the pile Al-Batin 3-1 with all three of their goals coming in second half stoppage time after it looked as though Al-Nassr could be on the wrong end of a shock scoreline. Former Manchester United man Ronaldo was not among the scorers having been named the division's player of the month for February after netting eight times in the month.
But while he didn't find the net on this occasion, his side dug deep and produced a late flurry when they needed it most to climb back to the summit, two points clear of Al-Ittihad who had won earlier in the day.

Al-Nassr trailed to an early Renzo Lopez goal and looked like suffering a surprise defeat until Abdulrahman Ghareeb struck in the opening stages of 12 minutes of added time to level. And, with time ticking down, Mohammed Al-Fatil found a second and Mohammad Maran sealed the win with almost the last kick of the game.
Ronaldo played the full match and missed a chance to equalise in the first half when he took the ball round the keeper on the edge of the box but saw his shot cleared off the line. In the end it didn't matter as Al Nassr found a way to claim the points.
