Inter defender Danilo D’Ambrosio scored his team’s first goal of the match in their 2-0 win against Empoli yesterday evening, proving once again that the 33-year-old is a reliable source of goals when his team needs him.

Football statistics account Opta highlighted the extent to which is the case, noting that with his header at the Castellani he managed to achieve a record for consecutive seasons with a goal that only one other current Serie A defender can match.

Their tweet reads, “Danilo D’Ambrosio is one of the only two defenders that have scored in each of the last seven Serie A campaigns, alongside Leonardo Bonucci. Catapult.”
