Cristiano Ronaldo Blows Fans Away With 'Gravity-Defying' Leap For Stunning Goal Against Roma

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again stunned fans with his unbelievable heading ability as he pulled back an all-important equaliser for Juventus against Roma.

Roma welcomed the defending Italian champions to the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday and opened the scoring through Jordan Veretout in the first half.

Ronaldo pulled one back for Juventus from the spot-kick before Veretout completed his brace to send Roma 2-1 up into the break.

Andrea Pirlo's men suffered another setback when Adrien Rabiot was dismissed in the 62nd minute, but Ronaldo once again stepped up and bailed his side out.

The 35-year-old Portuguese superstar pulled off an incredible leap to head home from Danilo's cross in the 69th minute.

Fans wasted no time in flocking to Twitter to praise the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's extraordinary leap and fine heading in Juve's 2-2 draw.

Ronaldo's brace salvaged a point for Juventus in their second Serie A match of the season.

Juventus, who are fourth in Serie A, will return to action next Sunday as they host Napoli at the Allianz Stadium.
