Immobile Equals Serie A Scoring Record With 36th Goal

By Dailysports on August 2, 2020

Lazio star Ciro Immobile joined Gonzalo Higuain as the highest scorer in a single Serie A season with his 36th strike of 2019-20 on Saturday. 

Immobile went into the final weekend of the Italian top flight season with the Capocannoniere crown as top scorer already secured. 

The 30-year-old sat on 35 strikes ahead of Lazio’s clash with Napoli, four ahead of Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo; and Maurizio Sarri’s decision to leave the Portugal star out of his match-day squad against Roma meant that he would face no late surge against his prize. 

It was also enough to seal the Golden Shoe as Europe's most potent sharpshooter, beating out Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski who netted 34 over the course of his side's Bundesliga-winning campaign.

Still, Immobile refused to rest on his laurels, netting after 22 minutes at San Paolo to cancel out Fabian Ruiz’s early opener. 

In doing so he brought his season’s tally up to 36, a mark only one other player has ever reached in Serie A history. 

Higuain had set the all-time record back in 2015-16 with Napoli, although Torino legend Gino Rossetti had also managed 36 prior to the league's renaming in the old Divisione Nazionale in 1928-9. (Goal)
