Higuain Breaks Seria A Goals Record

Gonzalo Higuain broke the record for goals in a Serie A season, scoring a hat-trick to take his total to 36 as Napoli thrashed Frosinone.

The 28-year-old Argentine surpassed Gunnar Nordahl’s record of 35, which had stood since 1949-50.

Higuain struck twice in 17 minutes after the break before netting with a bicycle kick from the edge of the area.

Victory secured second place – and a spot in next season’s Champions League group stage – for Napoli.

They finished two points above Roma, who beat AC Milan 3-1 and will go into the Champions League play-offs.

Juventus, who sealed a fifth successive title in April, finished ninth points clear of Napoli.

Gabigol Break Neymar"s Record

Sensational 19-year-old striker Gabigol has become the third youngest player in the history of Santos to reach 50 goals for the professional team.

By becoming the third youngest player in history – only behind club legends Pelé and Coutinho – to reach the mark of 50 goals in a Santos shirt, Gabigol overcomes the likes of Neymar and Robinho.

Santos are in the Paulistão final this year, and he has set his sights on winning the first title with the club as a starter.

If Pelé, Robinho and Neymar has achieved titles like the Club World Cup, Libertadores, Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão, Gabigol also aims to get his image on the “wall of idols” at the club’s training centre.

Gabigol said: “I’ve always wanted to get into the history of Santos, because of the affection I have for the club, and for the affection they have for me. The crowd is music to me, and on the streets when they talk to me. I am very focused, very happy, and reaching the mark of 50 goals so fast is a source of great joy to me.”

He added: “My ambitions now? Now the Paulistão. If we win the Paulistão, I will be very pleased. After that the Brasileirão, after the Libertadores… Then, perhaps, to be on this wall here at the training centre. I want to be remembered forever with the shirt of Santos, I’ve said that I’m a fan on the pitch.”
