    Mateo Retegui has made history as the all-time Atalanta top scorer in a single Serie A season, but also broke Alessandro Del Piero’s particular record.

    The striker was on target to secure the 3-2 victory away to his old club Genoa this evening at Marassi and that allowed him to consolidate his status as Capocannoniere.

    It was his 25th goal of the campaign in Serie A, breaking the club record of 24 that had been set by Pippo Inzaghi in the 1996-97 campaign.

    This is not all, because Retegui also broke another rather unusual record that confirmed his versatility as a centre-forward.

    Since Opta began collating the results in 2005-06, Alessandro Del Piero at Juventus in 2007-08 was the only player to have scored at least 10 goals with his left foot and 10 with his right in a single Serie A season.

    Retegui’s tally this term is 10 left-footed goals, five with his head, and today he got the 10th with his right foot.
