Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s goal against Atalanta on Saturday evening has helped Lazio set a new Serie A record for the most goal scorers with more than three goals this season.
The Nigerian midfielder’s strike was his second in the Serie A and fourth in all competitions, making him the sixth Lazio player to score more than three goals this season.
The Nigerian became the sixth player from the club to score more than three goals this season
“Dele-Bashiru (four goals) is the sixth Lazio player to score more than three all-comps goals in 24/25: a record among Serie A teams,” football stats account Opta posted.
According to Opta, Lazio are only behind Arsenal and Manchester United in the top five European Leagues.
“Considering the Big-5 European leagues, only Arsenal and Manchester United have done better (seven scorers with 4+ goals each).”
The 23-year-old Nigerian midfielder joined Lazio in the summer from Hatayspor on a season-long loan, with an obligation to buy if he impresses.
He attracted attention in the Turkish Super Lig last season, scoring nine goals and providing six assists.
The Manchester City Academy graduate has now scored two goals in nine Serie A games, despite not starting most of them and has also scored two goals plus two assists in four Europa League games this season.
