Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't about to let November reach its conclusion without a goal to his name.

On Wednesday, four days after he and his club were humbled in El Clasico and 25 days since he last scored in any competition, Ronaldo got back to doing what he normally does, heading the ball across the goal line in the 18th minute of Real Madrid's Champions League fixture at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Not only did Ronaldo's goal snap a 362-minute scoring drought, but he also ensured that he'll finish the match with nothing below a career average of one goal per Champions League game for Real Madrid.
