Veteran Sampdoria forward Fabio Quagliarella continued his remarkable scoring streak on Saturday to equal Gabriel Batistuta's record Serie A run.
The 35-year-old former Italy international is enjoying a sensational season in Italy's top flight and took his tally for the campaign to 16 league goals with a pair of penalties against former club Udinese.
Samp ran out 4-0 winners and Quagliarella's opening goal in the first half saw him find the net for an 11th consecutive Serie A game. The run began against AC Milan in October, with the forward sitting out a 4-1 defeat at Roma two weeks later.
