Higuain hits 100th Serie A goal with opener at San Siro

Gonzalo Higuain reached 100 Serie A goals with his opener against AC Milan for Juventus on Saturday.

The Argentina international has been a scoring sensation since arriving in Italy with Napoli just over four years ago, netting 71 times in the league for the Partenopei.

Higuain’s final 36-goal campaign at San Paolo in 2015-16 earned a reported €90million switch to Juve, where he has continued his fine form.

A tally of 24 Serie A goals secured the Scudetto in Turin last season, while this landmark effort – a stunning snapshot – was his fifth of the current campaign.
