Red-hot Higuain becomes first Juventus player to score five in a row for over 12 years

In finding the net in Sunday's 2-0 win over Lazio, the Argentina international has done something no-one at the club has managed for over a decade

Gonzalo Higuain has become the first player to score in five successive Serie A matches for Juventus in 12 years.

By finding the net in Sunday’s clash against Lazio, the Argentine international emulated the achievement of France international forward David Trezeguet, who was the last player from the Turin giants to achieve such a feat.

Higuain has been in terrific scoring form after initially being criticised as overweight when he arrived at Juventus Stadium in the summer for a record fee from Napoli.
