Mauro Icardi is on track to shatter Gonzalo Higuain’s all-time Serie A scoring record for a single season with 15 goals in 14 games, but that’s not all.
The 24-year-old Argentina international has been on fire this term and bagged another brace in last night’s 3-1 win away to Cagliari.
That was his sixth multiple scoring game of the season (five braces and a hat-trick), more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.
His conversion rate is an astounding 32%, having found the net 15 times from just 48 shots on goal.

If he continues like this, Icardi is on track to break Higuain’s all-time record of 36 goals in 35 games for Napoli in 2015-16.
It’s hardly a new phenomenon for Maurito, who for Inter in all competition has now scored four hat-tricks, 18 braces and 45 single goals in just 160 appearances.
The trip to Cagliari last night was his 170th Serie A game, scoring 96 goals with 26 assists. That is an average of 0.56 per match, more than a goal every other game.
He is just four goals away from the Century mark in the Italian top flight and won’t reach 25 years of age until February.
