Fabio Quagliarella became the oldest goalscorer in his country's history as Italy romped to a 6-0 win over 10-man Liechtenstein in Euro 2020 qualifying.
Aged 36 years and 54 days, Quagliarella scored two first-half penalties and was later substituted to a standing ovation having marked his first competitive start since October 2009 in style.
It was a night of milestones in Parma, Stefano Sensi getting his first international goal in only his second appearance to open the scoring, and Marco Verratti netting his first for Italy in over six years.
Liechtenstein's Daniel Kaufmann was sent off just before half-time when conceding Quagliarella's second penalty, with Juventus star Moise Kean scoring for a second successive game before substitute Leonardo Pavoletti notched a debut goal.
