Robin van Persie Hits Impressive Goalscoring Milestone After Latest Feyenoord Strike

Ex-Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin van Persie hit a huge milestone when he netted for Feyenoord against Willem II in the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup this week, with that goal the 300th he has scored for club and country to date in an illustrious career.

Since rejoining his home-town club from Fenerbahce in January, Van Persie has scored three times in all competitions, adding to the 21 goals he managed during his first spell at De Kuip.

The Dutchman was a teenager when he broke through to the first-team, starting the victorious 2002 UEFA Cup final at the age of 18, and was snapped up by Arsenal just two years later.
