Toni: Higuain better than Suarez

The former Italy striker believes the Argentine's record-breaking 36-goal haul for Napoli this season proves he's on “another planet” compared to his counterparts.

Luca Toni believes record-breaking Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain has shown this season that he is better than Barcelona's Luis Suarez.

Higuain netted a hat trick in Napoli's 4-0 win over Frosinone at the weekend to take his tally to 36 goals in Serie A this season, eclipsing Gunnar Nordahl's record of 35 set back in 1950.

The 28-year-old finished four goals behind Suarez in the race for the European Golden Shoe, but Toni nevertheless prefers the Napoli man over the Uruguay international.
