Cristiano Ronaldo insists Al-Nassr have the winning mentality after the Saudi Pro League leaders scored three goals in added time to turnaround their latest match against bottom-of-the-league Al-Batin.

Al-Batin still led heading into 12 minutes of added time but goals from Abdulrahman Abdullah Ghareeb, Mohammed Al Fatil and Mohammed Maran completed a late turnaround in Riyadh.
