Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s goal against Atalanta on Saturday evening was his second goal in the Serie A and fourth goal in all competitions, and that has seen Lazio become the team with the most goal scorers on more than three goals this season in Italy, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Nigerian became the sixth player from the club to score more than three goals this season when he netted the opening goal in their 1-1 draw against Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico.
“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.
