VIDEO: Francesco Totti scores his 300th goal for Roma
AS Roma legend Francesco Totti reached a huge milestone Sunday, scoring his 300th club goal during a Serie A fixture against Sassuolo.
Totti's 300th club goal was a bit of a gift, with the Italian striker taking advantage of a poor clearance by the Sassuolo goalkeeper. Still, for a forward who has made a career of poaching goals, he won't mind one bit.

With this goal, Totti has now scored in 22 consecutive seasons. Only Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has scored in more.
Make no mistake about it - Totti is very much a Roma legend, having played for the Italian capital side for his entire career, spanning 745 games since he joined in 1992. His 300th goal comes well-earned after a lifetime of dedication to the Roman cause.
Ladies and gentlemen, another moment in footballing lore:
