Immobile level with Lewandowski
Serie A leading scorer Ciro Immobile scored a good hattrick, acquiring his tally to 34 league goals this season, as Lazio originated from behind to thump Verona 5-1 away on Sunday.
The 30-year-old converted two penalties and scored with a majestic curling shot to leave him two goals short of Gonzalo Higuain's record of 36 goals in a Serie A season with two matches to play.
The hattrick means the Italy striker has drawn level with Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski in the race to be crowned Europe's top goal scorer.
Both players will have 34 goals but Immobile still has two game titles to play against Brescia and Napoli. Lewandowski's Bundesliga season has already been over.

Immobile had made an extraordinary commence to the 2019/20 period with 25 goals from the primary 22 Serie A video games -- two goals more than the Poland striker. Even so, goals stopped flowing openly and it looked like his chance had opted. That is until five goals within the last three complements resurrected his get for the Golden Boot.
Not for the 1st time in his profession Cristiano Ronaldo started slowly with simply 5 goals found in his initially 10 Serie A game titles. Then, the afterburners kicked in with 26 goals coming in his last 22 video games. His latest aim came in a 2-0 win over Sampdoria that clinched Juventus' 9th consecutive Serie A title. Even so, Ronaldo will regret a golden likelihood to add another aim after missing a later penalty kick that struck the crossbar.
