Another game, another record.

Gianluigi Buffon has won his fair share of accolades and broken a multitude of records throughout an illustrious career, and he has done so again today. 

The Italian legend has broken a 22 year old Serie A record as he went 930 consecutive minutes without conceding, beating the previous best of 929, which was set by Sebastiano Rossi when playing for AC Milan in the 1993/94 season.

He set the record in the fourth minute before his streak was snapped with an Andrea Belotti penalty in the 48th minute, setting the new record to beat at 974 minutes. 

Juventus took a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Paul Pogba and Sami Khedira, with the French internationals sweetly struck free kick a thing of beauty, before an Alvaro Morata double sealed a 4-1 win.
