Manchester United's 'superstar' Cristiano Ronaldo has become the most goalscorer in football history.



Ronaldo scored three goals alone in the English Premier League (EPL) round 29 match against Tottenham at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, leading Manchester United to a 3-2 victory.



The goal from this match gave Ronaldo a career-high 807 goals in his professional stage and A-match.



It surpassed the record for the most in this category, compiled by the International Sports Statistics Foundation (RSSSF), with 805 goals scored by Czech goalkeeper Josef Vikan, who died in 2001.



Old soccer records often have different numbers depending on where they are counted, and RSSSF is one of the most prestigious organizations in the football world.



According to RSSSF, following Ronaldo and Vican, Romario (772 goals, Brazil), Lionel Messi (759 goals, Paris Saint-Germain), and Pele (757 goals, Brazil) scored the most in his career.



Looking at Ronaldo's goalscoring team by team, he had the most with Real Madrid in his prime with 450 goals and 136 with Manchester United.



He followed with 101 goals for Juventus, 5 for Sporting CP where he began his professional career and 115 for Portugal.



This is not the only record Ronaldo has written.



Ronaldo scored his 59th personal and second hat-trick with Manchester United today.



He scored his first hat-trick with Manchester United on 12 January 2008 in a regular league match against Newcastle (Man United 6-0).



Ronaldo scored a hat-trick for the first time in 14 years and 59 days after wearing a Manchester United jersey, which is the longest gap between a player and a player in EPL history.



Ronaldo, who is 37 years and 35 days old on that day, was also named second in the league's oldest hat-trick.



The first place in this category is Teddy Sheringham, who retired in 2008 at the age of 37 years and 146 days.



Thanks to Ronaldo, Manchester United became the first club to win 400 home games since the EPL was launched in 1992.



Manchester United have played 572 regular league matches at Old Trafford, their home stadium, with a record of 400 wins, 108 draws and 64 losses, with a win rate of 69.9%.
