#3 Higuain equals Rossetti’s 36 goals in a season record after nearly 50 years
To say that Gonzalo Higuain has had an eventful career thus far would be an understatement. The Argentine superstar, who arrived on Italian shores in July 2014 took the Italian league by storm, scoring goals by the bagful. Despite his troubles at international level with Argentina, he has hit back at his critics on the pitch by scoring goals and showing everyone why he is one of the most feared strikers in the world.
Though the 29-year-old striker might currently be plying his trade at the Juventus Stadium, it was at Napoli, his former employers, that Higuain showcased his true potential as one of the best strikers to have ever graced the game of football.
During the 2015-16 season, the Argentinian recorded his best ever league season as he notched up an incredible 36 goals in 35 League appearances and equalled a record set by one of the Italian legends of all times – Gino Rosetti.
Rossetti had set the record for the highest number of goals in a single season by a player during the 1928-29 season, having found the back of the net 36 times. The record seemed uncatchable for 85 seasons until Higuain equalled his record in the last season of the Serie A, forever making him one of the finest strikers to have played in the league.
