MILAN (AP) – Cristiano Ronaldo is not used to being overshadowed, especially when he is emulating records.
The Juventus forward converted two penalties in Sunday's 3-0 win over Fiorentina to tie a club record by scoring for a ninth straight game.
He has had to share the spotlight with Lazio forward Ciro Immobile, however, who is scoring at a rate not seen for more than six decades.
Immobile also scored twice on Sunday as Lazio routed Spal 5-1, taking his tally to 25 goals this season. No player in league history has scored more through 21 matches.
