Watch: Criano Ronaldo booked after ‘headlock’ on opposition player in crucial Saudi Pro League clash

Al-Nassr skipper Criano Ronaldo, was booked referee Michael Oliver and handed a yellow card, following his nasty foul on Al Hilal midfielder Gustavo Cuellar on Tuesday.
In a video that went viral on the internet, a frustrated Ronaldo can be seen slamming Gustavo to the ground in a headlock during the match between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal clash in the Saudi Pro League.
The incident happened in the 56th minute of the game during a terrible night for Al-Nassr as they suffered a 2-0 defeat.
Ronaldo was later taunted as he left the field with Al-Hilal fans waving Lionel Messi shirts.

The 38-year-old Ronaldo had an evening to forget as he had a goal disallowed for offside in the 77th minute and then six minutes later had a penalty overturned the Video Assant Referee (VAR).

Meanwhile, Odion Ighalo, former striker for Manchester United, converted both of the home team’s penalty kicks to seal the victory.
The result leaves Ronaldo’s side three points behind leaders Al-Ittihad who also have a game in hand.
