We almost feel sorry for Riccardo Meggiorini. He’s just 29, but his life has probably plateaued with one moment of genius.
The Chievo Verona player has had a perfectly good career, scoring at a decent rate in the Italian lower leagues and earning himself a shot in Serie A, and now we can see why.
Normally, the unfashionable club moving top of the table with a 4-0 demolition of Lazio would be the story of the weekend.
But everything else pales in comparison when you see what Meggiorini pulled off.
The records will show Alberto Paloschi scored a goal, assisted by his compatriot, but it won’t show exactly how the maestro put the ball on a plate for Paloschi.
