Rogerio Ceni has become one of the top 10 all-time goalscorers for Brazilian club Sao Paulo - which is not bad for a goalkeeper.

The 42-year-old - a penalty and free-kick expert - scored his 128th goal to beat Santos 3-2 on Wednesday.

"Today, Ceni reached a difficult mark for any attacker," tweeted the club.

Liverpool's Mario Balotelli, Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor and West Ham's Andy Carroll are just three strikers yet to reach 128 goals.

Ceni got a taste for goalscoring as far back as 1997 but managed a staggering 21 goals in all competitions in 2005 - the same season in which he performed spectacularly as Sao Paulo beat Liverpool in the Club World Cup final.

He plundered 47 goals in three seasons between 2004 and 2007 and, during the spell, broke the record for the most goals ever scored by a goalkeeper.

Ceni, who was in Brazil's World Cup-winning squad of 2002, clearly loves setting records and his trophy cabinet is full - he also holds the greatest number of appearances for a single club, two Copa Libertadores titles and three Brazilian Serie A league wins.
