Aquile smashing records

By Football Italia staff

Lazio are shattering records with their ninth consecutive Serie A victory, closing on Il Grande Torino’s run of goals and Ciro Immobile can’t stop scoring.

Fresh from the Supercoppa Italiana victory over Juventus on December 22, the Aquile picked up where they left off to start 2020 on a high.

They fought back from a goal down to beat 10-man Brescia 2-1 at the Stadio Rigamonti with an Immobile brace.

It is Lazio’s ninth consecutive Serie A success, a streak only ever achieved by Sven-Goran Eriksson in 1998-99.

The Biancocelesti have scored at least two goals in each of their last 12 Serie A games, the longest streak ever apart from Il Grande Torino’s 13 in 1948.

Immobile’s brace means he is the first player to reach 19 Serie A goals in his first 17 games of the season since Antonio Valentin Angelillo in January 1959.
