GONZALO HIGUAIN BREAKS 66 YEAR OLD SERIE A RECORD WITH A THUMPING HATRICK TO TAKE SEASON TALLY TO 36- REPORTS

GONZALO HIGUAIN’S sensational hat-trick saw him beat a 66-year-old Serie A record.
The Napoli frontman scored his 36th league goal of the season — which is the most of any player since Gino Rossetti netted that very amount for Torino in 1929.
Legendary Swede, Gunnar Nordahl’s 35 for Milan in 1950 had stood alone for all this time.
Until Higuain came to within one, matched it and then overtook it with a stunning overhead kick at the San Paolo.

RECORD: Higuain is the first player ever to score 36 goals in Serie A. Breaking a 66-year old record.




Napoli beat Frosinone 4-0 to finish the season as runners up.
Roma were the only side that could have capitalised on a defeat by Maurizio Sarri’s men to pip them to second.
And they did their job impressively in Milan.

The Giallorossi won 3-1 as Francesco Totti made is 601st Serie A appearance.
Strikes from Mohamed Salah, ex-Rossonero Stephan El Shaarawy and Emerson meant Carlos Bacca’s 18th goal of the season counted for nothing.
Milan finish the season in seventh place — behind Sassuolo, who beat Inter 3-1.
Meanwhile, champions Juventus signed off with a stunning 5-0 victory over Sampdoria.

The Bianconeri capped off a wonderful campaign which saw them in 12th place and 11 points off top spot before romping to a fifth consecutive Scudetto with a six-month unbeaten run.
And it could still get even better for Max Allegri’s men who are heavy favourites for the Coppa Italia final next Saturday against Milan.
Patrice Evra — in what could be his final match for Juve — put his side ahead with an impressive diving header on five minutes.
