Unsung Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale scored his 200th Serie A goal in the 1-1 draw against Chievo yesterday, becoming only the seventh player to reach the milestone.

The irrepressible 37-year-old struck with a half-volley from 12 metres just before half-time in his 400th Serie A appearance.

Di Natale has scored 182 of his goals since joining Udinese in 2004, including seven this season, having previously bagged 18 for Empoli. He also notched 49 goals in the second and third tiers earlier in his career.

Silvio Piola, Francesco Totti, Gunnar Nordahl, Giuseppe Meazza, Jose Altafini and Roberto Baggio are the other players to have passed the 200-mark in Serie A.

“I want to thank all the team-mates and coaches I have worked with over the years,” Di Natale told Sky Sport, adding that he might continue for another season. “I have six months to think about it and will talk things over.”
