Lazio star Ciro Immobile scored a record breaking goal in this evening’s Serie A clash against Venezia, further cementing his legacy in Rome.
The 32-year-old Italian striker became the Biancocelesti’s all time top scorer in the league after netting a penalty in the second half of the 1-0 win against the Arancioneroverdi. That was his 144th league goal for Lazio, breaking the record previously held by legendary Italian forward Silvio Piola.
Immobile is already Lazio’s all time top scorer across all competitions, far surpassing Piola’s tally of 159. He is the talisman in Maurizio Sarri’s squad and he’s already confirmed his intention to spend the rest of his career in the Italian capital, confirming his place in the club’s history books as one of their best ever players.
The Lazio star is currently on the hunt for his fourth Capocannoniere title and he is now ahead of Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic with 21 goals.
